You're telling me a that you can't buy Xbox 360 or PS2 games any more? Even used in a store like CEX?
Well, Bladexdsl ninja edited it in time.
Proof of evidence
But, you can still buy from the Xbox 360 online store. When that closes, is Xbox 360 retro?
Absolutely, i can't buy an Xbox360 new in any store.
(Maybe i can still buy a never opened xbox360 gift somewhere, but not new.)
The games look pixelated on my 16kHD TV, framerate are not up to standard...
I think even Micro$oft thinks it's retro by now.
Do i need to go on?
Digitally? Sure, until July of this year.
The 360 launched in late '05, it's ~18yo at this point, the nes was 20yo in' 05 and was considered "retro" way back in the early 00's. Do the math.

Xbox 360 confirmed retro ladies and gents, case closed.
First of all the Wii is just a GameCube 1.5, it's not even a full on new console, it's what the DSi was to the DS or the new 3DS was to the 3DS.
Also component is not ancient but it's also not classified as HD. Wii games don't render at HD resolutions. It has to at least be able to output a 720p image. Component was the sort of middle ground between composite and HDMI that absolutely nobody ever used.
The Wii has 2 of the 3 main points, but not all 3, you have to go to the Wii U to have all 3.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
