Not exactly sure if these would be considered retro since theyre remakes of classics but how does /vr/ feel about the rebirth trilogy?

Definitely not retro.

Definitely retro

They are definitely retro if we adhered to the true meaning of the word, but most here have openly embraced it as simply being a synonym for old/vintage. It should strictly apply only to games such as the Rebirth series that are inspired by such games, and not the original games themselves.

Fucking how? They're wii games. You're a moron.
>>
>>12493527
Retro means to go back. They're games stylized and influenced to look and feel similar to their 16-bit era counterparts.

Something that is old isn't retro. It's just old. A game from the '90s on a home console was simply the state of the art at the time. A game that is purposely made to look like that is retro, as the dev is harkening back to that era. Do you really not understand?

Like these fridges. One is old. One is made to look old. That's retro.

>>12493551
No, it certainly isn't and you're not rewriting the rules of the board to have your chucklefuck of a thread.
>>
>>12493553
Not my thread, retard. I don't care about the games, I'm simply saying dumbass ESLs like yourself don't give a fuck about the meaning of words, and never have. It's like calling a magazine a clip. Just because lots of people do so, doesn't mean it's correct. Smoothbrains like yourself will simply say it doesn't matter, and will aggressively double down on being wrong no matter how much evidence is shown that undermines their mistaken beliefs.

Knew Castlevania was a thing, not the other 2.

Why is Contra not a remake of game#1?? Boo. Still looks ok though.

Gradius looks to be mostly the same, just updated graphics.
>>
>>12493697
I think only Castlevania is considered a "remake"

>>12493540
>>12493568
Why is this board called /vr/ to begin with? Should've been /vo/ for Old Games.
>>
>>12494045
correct, but it's too late to change
we'll become retro and wrinkled as the world descends into grammatical and syntactic chaos

It's not too late, it'd probably take ten minutes. The people who run the site just don't care about things like literacy

Look at this freak still replying to himself.

Why is this thread still up?

Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth is praised to no end by hardcore classicvania fans and for good reason.
Also the original GB game is not as bad as internet parroters want you to believe it is and has top tier chiptunes. And Belmont's Revenge is legit a good game.
Castlevania Legends also good and definitely not as bad as parroters say
>>
>>12497668
you start to sound unhinged when you can't stop denigrating those with differing opinions in nearly every sentence, anon
just enjoy things and stop seeking validation online
>>
>>12497689
I respect people with different opinions.
Internet parroters, however, don't have one. That's their thing.
