I’m doing steadicam operating on a TV show. My new (to me) 2DS is keeping me entertained when waiting for the next shot.

i cannot express how much it pains me that a 2DS is now considered retro
The fact that Nintendo shut down the servers makes it retro IMO.
I feel like in order for something to be retro, then it should have to be at least 10yrs after official support has ended.
When the PS1 was current anything 2D was considered retro.
I agree, however, Nintendo shutting down the servers made it retro.
It hasn't been that long since that happened though. It's literally been less than 6 months since they shut the servers down. It was part of the previous Nintendo console generation ffs. GTA V released the same year as the 2ds. C'mon man, the 2ds is not retro.
If you want me to make you feel old the hardware was released in 2013, making it over 10 years old this year.
Yep, but it hasn't been more than 10yrs since it was last officially supported. It's only been a few months since they fully ended official support.
While I understand your argument. I have my own philosophy for what is retro in terms of games.
For me I don't look at the system but the games. And for games it about 10-15 years after they were first released.
Enough time that kids can be born and never see this game until now. While I wouldn't call Pokemon Sun/Moon retro just yet. The 3ds/2ds has games on it that I would consider it retro.
Its been over half a decade since Nintendo stopped making games for it, and even longer since people cared about it.
The only time I will argue something isn't retro is when its still on the store shelf and not in the discount bin.
