>>720768397This page is burned into my mind in the months leading up to the PS3's launch. I saved up all summer working at Publix in HS to get the money and my dad was kind enough to go to gamestop to preorder one one seven units for me while I was in school.Great console even if it wasn't PS1/2 level.

Did You Know:The Gamecube's d-pad and the horizontal launch GBA's d-pad are the same rubber membrane and actual plastic pad?That's why they're both shit.
For me, it's Candystand.
>>720769412Ahhhhhh fuck I played all those awful mini-golf games so much.

>>720761556We can't go back.We can never go back. In turbulent times, you need move forward, painful as it may be, until better times arrive.
>>720761556It's a one of the kind feeling nostalgia. Is it because it was during a time you were young, the internet/tech still felt like uncharted land and you were a explorer or it's one of those old man things, "things were better back then."
>>720761556
>>720769112Yeah I remember playing that at high school when my whole class would play multiplayer games together. Even LAN play of CS 1.6
>>720771468A lot of it's just nostalgia but the internet honestly was better. It's a sanitized, corporate cesspit now.

It's like the person making them wants you to engage with the content and wants you to see what the brand or company is about at the same time. It's a shame shit like this had to be min-maxxxed out of existence by gormless, tasteless normalfaggots and their equally soulless corporate masters.>>720768464That meme stopped being relevant in like 2008. By the time 2009 rolled around, the PS3 had a decent library and it only got better with time.
Gameboys everywhere but I swear during it's peak everyone had a Gameboy Color that was that weird teal color.

Do gramps really?
>>720772435You should all have wives, kids and houses by now. Even the youngest millennials are pushing 30.
>>720761807i still have my purple gba that's like 20 years old at this point
>>720773031>You should all have wives, kids and houses by now.In a normal world, you'd be right. But society has been fucked ever since at least 2008, with it only getting exponentially worse since then in economic, cultural and social terms. Not being married and having kids is the least of my problems right now, honestly.
Roblox, 2007
>>720770153What if you weren't a tendie growing up?
>>720773031I dont give excuses I was just never interested in women or family Im pushing 40 and this is the rest of my life
>>720773031>You should all have wives, kids and houses by now.That would all distract from gaming though.
>>720761556We don't need nostalgia threads everyday. It's always the same posts, and pics. It's getting insufferable.
>>720773440Ive never seen this thread and I browse daily
>>720773440I'll take this over the 2 billionth rage bait thread.
>>72077303150% of millennials that married divorced and ended up here again
I've spent more time on my Game Boy Player than the GBA itself. Playing on the living room screen was a game changer.
>zoomers honestly believe they're going to marry a beautiful woman and never browse here againDelusional. It's more cringe to be a zoomer that thinks he's going to "graduate" from 4chan than to be a 40 year old boomer and still be here.
>>720761807Not anymore. Used to play mine all the time then a friend wanted to start up a console modding business so I asked him to mod my SP with a screen mod, battery, and something else. He got back to me like a month later to tell me he finally sold it. For some reason he got it in his head that I was gifting him my SP as like a startup. Told him no, I asked him to mod it for me. We argued for a while over it and after a while he split some of the money from the sale but never apologised. I could buy one off ebay or something, and I maybe will one day, but it's not the same.
>>720773031>be 60>kids all grown up and left the house>nothing to do all day>open up 4chanNo one is leaving permanently m8 not even the "winners"
Stop it with the nostalgia threads, it hurts. Physically. In my chest. And I’m not fat enough for it to be a heart attack that will kill me, unfortunately. This cat is probably dead. H0gnv
>>720761807I owned the pikachu GBC, traded it in for a purple GBA and then traded it in for the NES edition GBA SP. I still have the SP from my youth and it works, but i did swap half of it out because the mainboard died

>>720774020Nostalgia is healthy, it's important to recognize how good things used to be.

>>720774586I get the fear of not wanting it to get too samey with the pics, but it's not that big of a deal, and there's a lot new stuff in this one.
>>720772498After the economic crisis parents stopped buying game systems for their kids and mobile gaming blew up because that was what was available, parents didn't need to buy consoles or peripherals for Angry Birds, they could just give their kid their old phone and use their yearly "free" Verizon upgrade to get a new one.

>>720774749Too much nostalgia is unhealthy. In moderation, remembering the good old days is good though.
>>720775421I miss when women weren't 200lbs or annoying cunts farming simps.
>>720775421
>>720775365they were ugly tho iirc
>>720775584And no tattoo's or if any, out of sight on the back. That's what shocks me the most about less than 15 years ago, it was hyper rare.

>>720775421We were doing you a favor, you stupid whores.
>>720761807I happen to have 2 GBAs, one white and the other pinkish purple seethrough. Also 2 SPs, one of which was silver and stopped charging for some reason years ago, and I could not identify the problem after opening it up and replacing the battery. Bought a red one used to replace it.
>>720774781Funny how I actually never liked this style, the glossy 3D effect everything had to have always looked tacky to me and it felt too forcedBut I can't help but look back fondly on the time periodMapleStory, Mabinogi, S4 League, Ragnarok Online private servers, a bunch of other random MMOsChatting with friends online in those games and through MSNSchool was the only real worry at the timeSimple days, simple times
>>720775862>still remember when I got to play Mario Marty 2 on a kiosk similar to this one in Toys R UsIt had a clear plexi glass with the console in it too also got to play MM that way as well. Pretty cool.
>>720773031You're living in your own world.
>>720776070Yeah, the cheap plastickyness of it always rubbed me the wrong way compared to the more restrained tech of the 90s. If only we knew then what we know now.

>>720777319Playing Four Swords with others was like the one recess that didn't suck in elementary school
>>720777596>I love GC but the d-pad is whatever you'll be vaguely interested to know that the switch online repop of the gamecube controller has a somewhat redesigned d-pad, it's a more tidily designed piece with a better pivot and a plastic support now so it isn't the worst d-pad ever, just a mediocre one (it's still using the GBA d-pad as a starting point, after all)
>>720778003That was in fact vaguely interesting, but I'm gonna stick with my original.
>>720778170not a bad calljust do be aware nintendo's is, despite all odds, the only wireless gamecube controller that still feels like the original; GC ultimate by HHL doesn't have original sticks, nor does the 8bitdo mod kit, even if both also have the nicety of clicking sticks
ough
>>720761807i had one, pretty fun
>>720772731>That meme stopped being relevant in like 2008. By the time 2009 rolled around, the PS3 had a decent library and it only got better with time.Wrong. The PS3 still has no games. Not a single game was released for it.

>>720778823When I was a kid around 2000 or 2001, my friend had borrowed a Dreamcast from his cousin or something. I wanted to play Sonic Adventure so fucking bad since I knew this would be the only time I ever got to try playing on a Dreamcast but he refused and made me play some third person shooter (googling details reveals it was probably "Fur Fighter"). Fuck you, you gay sack of shit.I guess I got off easy, he ended up molesting another friend of ours during a sleepover, literal homo

>>720761556I actually just ordered a chinkheld, R36H, to emulate GBA, GBC, Snes and everything else PS1 and under. It's like 35 bucks. I'm going to have the coming months building up my own rom library. Seems like a nice hobby.

Thread has unlocked a memory of me looking around at Gamestop with my Mom back in 2004They had a PS2 at a display with Star Ocean 3 runningNo one was playing, but the game was left idle at the starting area of the game while this song played on loophttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zRLySWfCAUWas such a relaxing song, I remember it was stuck in my head for days

>>720761860>>720779431>>720779497>>720783672>Zoomies trying to argueMine included a game, even. This was with the 'cube that removed the digital port. This was around 2003, so those $49 are $86.03 today. But nobody wants to touch the subject of inflation for the prices the virtual console had. For example, GBA games were generally $40, yet Nintendo sold them for $7.99 max on the Wii U. This is not how you apply inflation.
>>720780596fucking wish I had one of these but they were out of circulation for the most part when I had a gamecube, but I did have the SP so maybe I didn't really need it, still would've been cool as hell to play a shitton of games I had for it
I was recently looking up some of the old games I used to play on gamehippo through the wayback machine
