It's the only thing keeping gaming alive.

they only buy things that mimic the past, they dont actually go out and play on old consoles. they buy remakes of old games or sequels. why do you think nintendo has more man children than it did before?

Nostalgia is a good thing.

Retro is not an arbitrary passage of time, it's a specific moment in history.

Xbox is retro because it's using dual analog instead of mouselook and it has a Dpad.

Retro is an affectation of the past.

The PS5 is retro. Everything older than one day ago is retro.

Most definitely the only thing keeping the stupid meme sandbox and gacha games at bay. The stuff that braindead 10 year olds play.

Unironically yes.
The Dualsense is still mostly identical to the Dualshock of 97.
They had the chance to launch their console with VR controllers front and center, but they chose a retro SNES inspired controller AGAIN.

Even maintains the timeless d-pad position started by the original game & watch while Nintendo had abandoned it in the 2000s. Safe to say the Dualsense is the definitive controller for retro games.

Nostalgia isn't killing gaming. Shitty games are killing gaming. I would rather play a old game, than play a gatcha or microtransaction filled slop modern game.

nostalgia for a console's style while still discovering or rediscovering its games is gaming.

more retro than dolphin with gamecube games upscaled, or even N64, PS1, PS2, PS3, Saturn, Dcast upscaled. emulation on xbox is retro
