"Are you ready for your GotY lessons?" *Zelda gulps* *Mario breathes heavily* *Spider-Man nods nervously* *Final Fantasy sighs* "Yes, Pikmin" they say in unison.

Pikmin 4 is #1 on the US Switch eShop. After two straight months, Zelda's streak is over.

@fel_carson @nickky2x @iamshylarenae Less than 10,000 people in the US are known to have bought Pokemon Box, it’s one of the rarest titles in the franchise and has been for many years. Don’t pretend everyone uses it or has been using it since Gen 3.

@nickky2x @iamshylarenae Having all of your Pokémon in one place has been a thing since Generation 3, with the use of Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire, and we’ve been transferring up Pokémon ever since.

@allanmeow @MelvinProphete If that doesn’t work it also helps to save and quit to menu and reload. I did that a few times and found a “lost” Pokemon.

@salmonbait04 @trickster1207 @MarshSMT Exactly, which is why those people aren’t turning around and buying FRLG for $20. Neither side wants to emulate but this crowd isn’t buying or playing games either. You’re seeing a similar concept and acting like those are the same people.

@Contaliarg1 @trickster1207 @MarshSMT Those same people say you’re classist when you tell them to emulate. It’s just excuses to justify YouTube playthroughs as equal to playing the actual game

@haylen630 @MyWolverinenm RE1, RE2, and RE4-8 are literally on PS4. It’s an insanely accessible franchise to the PS4 generation. RE3: Nemesis is not for some reason, but it’s on PS5. These games are all available on GOG on PC too.

@MyWolverinenm Yeah I mean my post was intentional rage bait but it’s also true, like how do 40+ year old resident evil fans expect gamers raised in the PS4 era to play these really old games. Not wanting to fiddle with an emulator doesn’t make you a fake fan lol.

@salmonbait04 @trickster1207 @MarshSMT You’re the one projecting two radically different viewpoints onto the same person. I promise you someone who’s like “I’m a little baby who can’t afford a video game system and it’s classist to insist otherwise” isn’t buying fucking FRLG.

@salmonbait04 @Ultimaaaaaaaaaa @MarshSMT @KennyLauderdal3 Literally this. The fact it's 90% subscription services with Nintendo's back catalog of retro things now is inexcusable. The Wii they didn't have this issue. You paid 5 bucks and got the game to download and keep. Pricing and consistency MATTER for this kind of thing.

@salmonbait04 @trickster1207 @MarshSMT No they aren’t man, the people acting like there’s no way they can play RE are the same people who act like you’re a bad person for buying a Switch 2 in the first place.

@trickster1207 @MarshSMT Doesn’t apply since the people defending the FRLG ports and the people acting like emulation is advanced wizardry are very much the same people

@N4pstr I’d love to read this essay if you ever make it. You may have already heard of or read them but “The Ultimate History of Video Games” books by Steven L. Kent is where I got a lot of my foundational historical knowledge on everything from the beginning to the 8th gen.

@N4pstr @yandhiisntreal Agreed, but I’d argue that NES and PS2 are also insanely different and no one has an issue with both of those being retro. I think a lot of people think of retro as just “games and systems from before I was born or maybe that came out when I was 3” and never move from that

@Contaliarg1 @yandhiisntreal oh I fully agree that the "retro" moniker should be a constantly moving target, but my point is that the reason Wii/360 doesn't feel like it should be retro, is because that's the same category we put NES games in. and those are two wildly different periods of gaming history

@Rackyack @N4pstr @yandhiisntreal I definitely think there’s an argument to be made that all of that alongside other early amusement technology like pinball are part of an “Era 0” or “pre-history” of the medium. I also think Atari 2600 could be a part of the buildup or the beginning of Era 1 depending.

@N4pstr @yandhiisntreal Pre-history I would say would be the experimental games developed in universities from before the 70s. Stuff like Tennis for Two and Space War.

@N4pstr @yandhiisntreal I’d say it’s best if the eras are (1) Space War-after the crash of 83, (2) NES-right before the rise of 3D, (3) 3D-right before HD, (4) HD (Gen 7 and ), and then (5) current gen as a new era (though idk how to describe it).

@N4pstr @yandhiisntreal I think that realistically if NES-GameCube is one era, Wii-Switch 2 also has to kind of be one era. I would even argue retro is bad as an era descriptor because fundamentally what is “retro” changes. The Wii is absolutely a retro console now.
