“Whether the 'Cube can be considered Retro, yet.”
Now feel like Tim Allen in Santa Clause

Gash Bell is a classic anime that more people need to check out.

retro is “contemporary reproduction that references a style from the past.”

gamecube would be vintage

[SatoshiMatrix]

I don't like to think of the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox as retro, but sadly I have to concede they are.

[retrricky]

Can't wait to play triple trouble, cheers for the heads up.

[backinthedaygamer]

I'm very picky about what's retro and what isn't. I feel like Game Cube can be called retro.

Is the CG retro to me? No.
Can it be considered retro yet? Perhaps.
