I’m doing steadicam operating on a TV show. My new (to me) 2DS is keeping me entertained when waiting for the next shot.

If you want me to make you feel old the hardware was released in 2013, making it over 10 years old this year.

Yep, but it hasn't been more than 10yrs since it was last officially supported. It's only been a few months since they fully ended official support.

While I understand your argument. I have my own philosophy for what is retro in terms of games.

For me I don't look at the system but the games. And for games it about 10-15 years after they were first released.

Enough time that kids can be born and never see this game until now. While I wouldn't call Pokemon Sun/Moon retro just yet. The 3ds/2ds has games on it that I would consider it retro.

Its been over half a decade since Nintendo stopped making games for it, and even longer since people cared about it.

The only time I will argue something isn't retro is when its still on the store shelf and not in the discount bin.
