--- Quote from: Quazimoto on September 02, 2015, 07:03:04 AM ---I think retro gaming hold a certain nostalgic factor for a lot of people. I know that's part of the appeal for me whenever I fire up the ole Genesis. But reall... Classic gamer... Modern gamer... Who cares? Games are supposed to be fun. Once we start labeling gamers as this or that we draw lines of division. Us vs Them in a battle for supremacy. Just play what you like. Who cares if it's a game from thirty years ago or something that was just released thirty minutes ago... Pop it in the system and enjoy. --- End quote --- Yes, I like to play a little of everything and don't want to limit my gaming. I found a comparision photo of the N3DS vs N3DS XL to anyone interested. I like the big screens of the XL though it is pretty clunky in the pocket... |

That's ONE of the reasons why I haven't bought any cur gen stuff yet, but I will eventually. It seems silly to avoid current gen only because you consider yourself a retro gamer. I KNOW FOR A FACT, that I'm a retro gamer, but I still love newer stuff. The biggest reason I avoid current gen is due to cost. I have so little time to play games now that I just don't want to spend top dollar for it when I know I can wait several years for prices to come down. If I was younger without a wife or kid, I would have bought a PS4 by now, and I would probably love it, but at my age, I can wait until the time is right. It isn't like I don't have over 1,000 games to play in the mean time. :P |

But college does things to prevent that :P Not entirely related, but I'd be more inclined to invest into the 3DS if they allowed SNES/GBA on virtual console already. It's not like the 3DS can't handle Earthbound. --- End quote --- Ugh, I remember that. I had to sell a LARGE chunk of my collection while in college, and that was before the retro market went all KABOOM, so I didn't make the killing that I would have today. Shit, I probably could have retired from the sales of that stuff if I were selling it in today's market. --- Quote from: Quazimoto on September 02, 2015, 07:03:04 AM ---I think retro gaming hold a certain nostalgic factor for a lot of people.

I'll snap a pic of the 3DS and N3DS next to each other. Hold on... |

Unless you're into games like Max Fury, Black Ops or MGS 5. |
