It's amazing how many colors they managed to squeeze out of that piece of shit NES hardware

Anyone who knows the source of this (if it's actually from a title)?

I am gathering resources using this sprite style or similar. Feel free to recommend others.

Why specifically 1985? Nobody is gonna bitch about breaking any rules if you want to discuss Atari.

Anyway, /v2k/ makes the most sense to me. /v/'s problem is that it's one of the fastest boards on the site and has a lot of crossposters from pretty much every other board from /b/ to /x/.
Including 6th gen would mean soon enough we'll also have to eat up 7th gen as others have already said. This board already covers a large, important part of video game history, and the semi-slow pace it has is perfect. Meshing different eras that are so different from each other, not really just because of game genres, but more because of how radically the industry changed after Sega died and Xbox entered the game. I'd argue even 5th gen feels a bit weird on here at times. 5th gen was definitely the transitional, hybrid stage.
4th gen and 6th gen are as far as each other can be. 4th gen is definitely closer to the first generation of games, and 6th gen is definitely closer to modern gaming than 4th gen. It's clear that they come from different eras, call it "retro, antique, medieval ages", whatever.

/v2k/ would also contain a large portion of gaming history, 7th gen was fucking large, not to mention during the 00s, PC gaming grew a fucking lot stronger and wildly different than what it used to be on its own way.
With 6th gen and 7th gen you have a board that's at least double the speed /v/ is. Even if it's less generations. Not to mention you would add 8th gen, eventually (in fact I'm sure some shitposters would go "PS4 is retro! the pro is the current gen that's /v/-only!").

So I think it's a thing about board identities. /v/ was split into a lot of different boards, yes, but it is because it was needed, either because of "containment reasons" (/vp/, /vg/) or because of people who genuinely couldn't talk about older stuff on /v/ anymore, like /vr/, /v2k/ would be /vr/'s younger sister. Everyone will love her.

NES:

METAL. SLADER. FUCKING. GLORY

LOOK At THESE FUCkIN ANIMATIONS

this is the snes version (that's the only gif i could find), but it looks almost as good on the nes.
