Если ты, салабон, считаешь, что это и есть «ретро», то у меня в трусах гоночные полоски — и те куда более «ретро», чем это.

"If you, salabon, think that this is “retro”, then I have racing stripes in my shorts - and those are much more “retro” than that.

- All glory to the mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster!"
Badseed, with all respect this is a pretty dumb answer.
You like it or not the 2000's and 2010's eras were about 10-20 years old. People that grew up on these eras are around 20-30 years old or at least are in their teen years.
Like @Ikagura said, "it's like if someone who grew up in the 50's considers that any music past the 70's is modern." Retro is about old things that aren't present anymore on these years and evokes nostalgia because the times of these things are over not about eras lol.
And yes, you have so many things from the 2000's and 2010's that aren't present anymore or are more niche or with a reduced popularity due to new things like the MP5, Messenger, the Emo era, the ancient internet or in this case consoles like the GBA that had games that were made with a style very different to... We say modern mobile games.

Badseed is 53, for he apparently anything past the 1990's isn't retro or something.

I remember my first beer. Phew!

I finished F.E.A.R last week. It's a retro game from back in 2005 when you were young.
I tried taking screenshots, but I don't really get how GOG galaxy handles those. People usually don't consider it part of the "modern" shooter wave of the noughts like CoD and Halo, but once you get a load of that running speed, you realise it really is. The slo-mo gunplay looks awesome though.

Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection on PS5, just rotating through all these great classics. I had never played the Punisher game before, it was fun.

 

[NovumVeritas]

Completed DQ I+II HD Remake yesterday, the true ending was chef's kiss.

 

[DieDieDanmakuDoll]

Resident Evil 4 for the gamecube has been a blast. i played about a quarter of the og on the gamecube too but with all respect wasn't my favorite. I definately like RE4 more albeit i am glad i played the original as it taught me some tricks that helped me already know important stuff as the 180 turn in RE4. Oddly I thought Ashley was going to be so much more annoying than she actually is for her reputation lol. i could do without her yelling where i am going when i park her somewhere though. Girl chill i just need to get the treasure that attach case upgrade isn't going to buy itself lol.

Completed Mega Man X3 and now going for Xtreme.

 

[ThatOneLum]

I've gone back to Super Mario Land 2 and the First WarioWare games.

Good times. Should probably be finishing Pikmin 1 instead but I am an easily distracted bitch.

Breath of Fire. Planning on going for the rest of the series after. I'm also thinking about getting into Silva Saga.

 

[JustLooking456]

Playing Yoshi's Island 1 and some more R-Type today

 

[Nilla Nilla]

..Does this count? LOL. I used to play it all the time at my grandmother's and I find I still enjoy it at the age of 31.

 

[Isegrim]

Still trying to binge watch anime while playing Super Robot Wars Taisen J.

In my watching, I just realized. A lot of the characters in newer anime tick me off. It's so satisfying blasting them to bits with my 70's favorites in SWR when I get the chance.

Been totally addicted to advance wars since my apartment flooded.

 

[Tsukishima]

I honestly can't get enough of Gamera 2000 for the Playstation 1.
It's becoming a comfort entry. The music composed by Zuntata also helps.
