A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I don't feel bad about playing retro games because it's not like Nintendo gets a cut on N64 games on ebay or that I got from people I know. The N64 is the newest Nintendo system I have any interest in, so I dodge all the issues of supporting the company.

Don't sleep on the Gamecube man, some real bangers on there. Hell on the Wii and WiiU too. And the Switch. Damn it, say what you want about Nintendo, but they make some damn good games. Luckily emulation or, as you say, second-hand market exists.
