My coworkers know I’m going to Cuba next month and one said it’s a shame I’m bringing my GF and said they’d just sit back with mojitos, a cigar, and a prostitute.

Yeah what the fuck

That’s all true but I still think the N64 is firmly “vintage” for many, many years now. Eras in home gaming certainly last longer, but we’re pretty clearly in the era started by the 360/PS3/Wii era. Older than the PS2/Xbox/GC era I’d be comfortable calling vintage/retro. Even those are starting to become “retro”

I mean it was a turn of an era for sure. But really there have been other eras since in the nearly 30 years since the N64. Gaming is very little like it was then. I’d say the 360/PS3/Wii era was the transition point into the modern console era. Digital distribution, online gaming (which yes existed before but wasn’t really ubiquitous until this gen), and the advent of media center/console hybrids. All the major changes since then are really just iteration.

Look at media references to gaming in more recent times. Usually it’s someone playing an online game. Oftentimes with a headset throwing childish insults to a 12 year old on the other side.

retro implies pre-3D

I think any societal consensus puts N64 firmly, like unquestionably in retro status.

The N64 is older to us than the Atari 2600 was when the N64 came out. By almost a decade.
