For me personally, the “retro” is about period starting from Adventure and ending before “age of ugliest 3D”.

I mean technically PS1/N64 is retro, but I agree personally it ends with 16-bit era systems.

I consider GameCube/PS2/XBOX to be undoubtedly retro. So anything Gen 6 and earlier. To me 16-bit era and earlier is just “more retro”. Gen 7 I think is arguably technically retro, but it just doesn’t feel retro to me.
I mean, 360 & PS3 games still feel like they’re just modern games with less detailed graphics, and the Wii feels kind of like part of the Wii U era to me; and that association with the Wii U makes it very much not feel retro. But any games released before Gen 7 feels unique compared to modern games, therefore giving that feeling of being retro.
