I’m not sure the Wii U is widely considered retro yet, but it has been discontinued for 7+ years, so I’m taking a chance that some folks here might care about the emulator.

    It has to be 2 gens removed in my opinion. For example, ps4 is not but ps3 is.

    Although now that most things have a pc port, gens are becoming a bit more blurred than before.

    With that being said, I think ps2 and earlier were the best gens of gaming.

    Online connectivity made gaming a bit worse overall with dlcs, patches and that sort of thing.

      I thought the consensus was that a system needs to be at least 20 years old to be considered retro.

        Hate to break it to you, but I just looked it up and ps2 will be 20 years old in like 2 years 😅

          I meant PS3, but thank you for reminding me I’m old.
