But why is there an obsession with adding katakana to everything game related. It just seems like everthing related to "retro gaming" (quoted because it's used incorrectly) needs to have it's title somewhere in katakana. I guess that makes it more レトロ。

I absolutely loathe the term "retro" in terms of old games. They're not retro. They're old. Antiquated. Out-dated. Retro is new shit that looks old. Cave Story, VVVVVV, Shovel Knight, those are retro. NES games are not, can't be.

There are Retro 8 and 16-bit console games like Pac-Man and Space Invaders and such.
