Rules
The PS3 is a retro console. The wii is a retro console. Xbone 360 is a retro console.
If you disagree, you are old.
They still have active online services![emoji lea-sweat lea-sweat](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5e93dc0b-3a35-4e11-aa99-8bf62a422c65.png)
Well, the Wii doesn't lol. Because Nintendo sucks ass.
At least there are fanmade online services though :)
For Mario Kart Wii
a few other games too (tho they're kinda dead)
Exactly, so for Mario Kart Wii
yeah i played it a few times but everyone's a pro w/ the same Funky Kong layout so it gets kinda boring
edit: nvm it's Funky Kong not Diddy Kong
Funky Kong with the Flame Runner and Daisy with the Mach Bike
lol exactly. thanks for the correction!
i don't even have those characters yet so i usually play Grand Prix instead. online is still fun tho
Wait what? How do they work? Do I have to jailbreak the Wii first ?
Uh you might, tbf Letterbomb is not hard. The ones I know of are CGTP-Revolution and the RiiConnect24 service.
There's a fanmade Motorstorm PS3 server you don't have to jailbreak for so maybe you won't need to hack?
Is there a different term for what NES and SNES are? Calling both them and the PS3 retro makes retro a little vague
they've gone beyond retro. they're like, what you think the Atari 2600 or the BBC Micro are.
I don't see Atari 2600 or Xbox 360 games on https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/retro , but I see lots of NES and SNES. That seems to be most popular with retro gamers
Yeah we'll see, the shift will continue. There are youtubers like oboeshoesgames that focus on xbox 360 era games.

I'm at the point where I can accept the PS2/Gamecube era as being retro but this actually kills me.
That's an affordable Blu-ray player.
I have mixed opinions about this because the PS3 is often noisy, which is less than optimal for movie watching. Players like the Sony S350 became cheap and common a long time ago...
If it's at least two generations old, it's retro
Yeah, the NES was retro in the late 90s
Technology and games as an industry were exploding during the 80s-2000s, so there's a lot of shorter eras there and things aged faster
