Is the new Nintendo 3DS another system?
Why wouldn’t they be?by that standard the New 3DS and the DSi would also have been separate systems as both of these also had exclusive games that didn't work on the 3DS and DS respectively.

I have no issue seeing them as another system. It’s not another ”generation”, though.This applies to the DSi and New 3DS too though
Never liked how games look on gb color, always preferred the green tint of the OG.
The true Metal Gear Solid.Not sure. I don't know if there's any meaningful difference in the hardware from the original.
What I do know is this game rules:

I feel the DSi and New 3DS are strange edge cases, the amount of exclusives between those two are literally a handful of games(I guess the DSi has a bunch of DSi Ware games but still), whereas the GBC easily has a library worth of exclusives.by that standard the New 3DS and the DSi would also have been separate systems as both of these also had exclusive games that didn't work on the 3DS and DS respectively.

The Nintendo Game Boy Color, it's a Game Boy and it's got colour. I can't decide how to spell the word colour here. Should I go with the British spelling with the 'u' or do I need to acknowledge that Nintendo didn't ever spell it that way. I don't suppose it matters.
Anyway, did any games really push it to the limit? Were there any that were as ambitious as games on other 8-bit systems, or was it all just by the numbers stuff we've seen before? Let's find out!
There's got to be more than Mario and Zelda.

That argument doesn't really apply here.There are ps1 games that can’t be played without a dual shock controller.
Not sure anyone makes the same argument there.
You also couldn’t play pal games on the ntsc PlayStation. And there are PAL exclusive games.
That argument doesn't really apply here.
GB to GBC is like PS4 pro to PS5.
Gb and gbc are different hardware as well.those are entirely different hardware.
The gb and gbc are the same architecture.
so the correct comparison is PS4 to PS4 pro.
I found my old purple translucent GBC. Fired it up no problems but honestly without a back light this thing is near unplayable.
Gb and gbc are different hardware as well.
No, ps4, ps4 pro, and ps5 are the same architecture, just progressively better components. Ps4 cannot play ps5 games just as GB cannot play GBC games.
The black cartridges. Those aren't GBC games but enhanced GB games. Think of those more like ps4 pro enhanced titles.the GB can play some GBC games. just like the New 3DS and the DSi the GBC has exclusive games and simply enhanced games.

Of course, just like a PS5 can use its hardware to run PS4 games better.they still use the GBC hardware to improve them.
again, the GBC is literally identical to the New 3DS and DSi, and if you agree that those are just enhanced versions of the DS and 3DS then you also have to agree that the GBC is an enhanced GB and not a new platform.
New 3DS and DSi have exclusive games and games that have been enhanced in some ways for them
Of course, just like a PS5 can use its hardware to run PS4 games better.
New 3ds was a different platform. It was a gamble to see if it would take off, it didn't so nintendo abandoned it on software. The GBC did amazingly well and got a ton of exclusives.
If the PS5 flopped sony would just keep making crossgen games. Same thing.
No idea on the DSi, I skipped the 7th gen.
They have exclusive games though. Better hardware and exclusive games is a new generation.so you are saying the New 3DS is not part of the 3DS generation? well, at least you are consistent, some come with weird arguments to justify their hypocrisy when they say that the New 3DS is the same platform as the 3DS but the GBC isn't the same as the GB.
still tho, both the New 3DS and the GBC are simply slightly overclocked versions of their base counterpart with some added RAM... that's it...
Are our eyes worse, or did we just get used to backlit screens?
No, I know what you mean as I tried to use mine a few years ago and just couldn't. I used it indoors when I was a kid as well.I am sure it was fine in direct sunlight. i was indoors to be honest. But still.
There's over 100 games you can only play on GBC, it's very much its own system.
GBA to SP is an upgrade rather than a new system.
To me it was its own system. It came out years after the gameboy mania had died and after the pocket redesigns. Plays its' own software etc..
It had games that wouldn’t run on a regular Gameboy so I’d classify it as a separate system.
It was its own system but because it had the same form factor, same shape carts and full backwards compatibility, it comes off as being the same system.
It has different hardware and a lot of exclusive games.
According to these posts, I'm not sure why GB and GBC are lumped together then.Wikipedia lists 611 games on GBC that don't work on the GB. I will always view it as it's own system, it has a massive library of it's own.
(915 games released on GBC cartridges, 304 of these work on GB, 611 only work on GBC.) - List of Game Boy Color games - Wikipedia

Its just a Gameboy revision, obviously same gen and system as the Gameboy.
If it wasn't, we would also need to consider the New 3DS, PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, and any revision that offers more power, and even some exclusive games, as a separate system/gen and that's just wrong and stupid on many levels.
