Because it would mean admitting you're getting old?

They've been out for nearly 20 years. I'd say that counts as retro.

Retro doesn't mean old, though.

I refuse to accept them as retro until the PS6, Xbox... Negative, and the... Nintendo... Super Duper Wii U Wuu (or whatever they call it) come out.

Well, it's sixteen years since I bought a GameCube.

The same distance of sixteen years back from when got a SNES was 1977, the year the Atari 2600 came out.

I have a hard time calling them retro just because gameplay hasnt really changed all that much since then

Like there is a major change in design philosophies between N64/PS1 and GC/PS2/Xbox

Halo CE for example is a 2001 game that isnt notably different, other than graphics, from its modern counterparts

If I can play it on my PC, its retro.

I can play Switch games on my PC. The Switch is definitely not retro.

Don't really care.

I guess when I think about it, it's fair. I would have considered the SNES to be retro in 2010, 20 years on, so those consoles are too if I go purely by that length of time.

The time from the NES release (NA) to the Gamecube release is nearly identical to the time between the Gamecube release and today.

Did you consider the NES retro when the Gamecube released?
