That is true, it was the first truly modern console generation.

Ultimately I think retro gaming is rooted in nostalgia. People will always gravitate to the consoles they grew up with, making them "retro." Probably why those rereleases do well.

I'm curious to see what happens in 10-15 years when games-as-a-service hits that point, and how the retrogaming community deals with that. With games like Halo 3 being a stretch now, I can't imagine a world where Fortnite and Super Mario World exist in the same category.
