couldn't the same be said about the gamecube and wii? i don't think many people consider those to be the same console
now of course the gameboy and gameboy colour have a lot more in common, with the gbc pretty much only being a higher cpu clock speed, and colour, but they're still incompatible differences
while my initial feeling is also to say it's just an enhanced gameboy, i have to say it's another console because it has games that only work on a gameboy colour
if you accept gbc as just an enhanced gameboy, is the gba also just an enhanced gbc? it can play gb/gbc games, too. where's the line? are all backward compatible consoles just upgraded versions of the same console?

The 32X didn't have nearly as many exclusive games as the Game Boy Color did and required you to own and use a Genesis to play it and it's still happily accepted as its own console. Also, Nintendo has always considered it the successor to the Game Boy.

[Anonymous No.6611121]

>>6603075

was gonna come in this thread and consider them like windows 8 and windows 8.1, the GB was what people planned to play on, but the GBC was like windows 8.1 was just vastly better despite being almost the same but lighter, better power efficient and color screens.

i did forget that the original gameboy could only play the old original games, so now i think im changing my mind to, yes, its seperate console, although very close.

still great tho, my entire childhood wrapped up in it, still have my seethrough purple one

You can play some of the GBC games (like PKMN Gold and Silver) on the GB though. There’s not a single Wii game that could be played on the GameCube, however.

[Anonymous No.6613110]

>>6611632
gold and silver are gameboy games that have colour information available for the gbc
i see what you mean though, the fact it runs differently on two different systems isn't just plain backwards compatibility
if there were only these kinds of games i would have to agree that it's just an enhanced gameboy
like for example, i would not call the super gameboy a separate gameboy console, though there are games that are enhanced by it, i don't know of any games that only work on a super gameboy (why on earth would they do that)
it's the fact it has games that only work on it that makes it its own console

[Anonymous No.6613152]

>>6611632
>>6613110
think about it like this;
pokemon silver is both a super gameboy and gameboy colour enhanced game
you can call it a "super gameboy enhanced gameboy game", and a "gameboy colour enhanced gameboy game"
but something like pokemon crystal, a gameboy colour game, cannot be called a "gameboy colour enhanced gameboy game". why? because it's not a gameboy game, it isn't supported by the gameboy console (nor super gameboy)
i'm not saying they're nothing alike, they're as close to the same system as any two systems can reasonably get, it looks and feels like a minor upgrade of the same console, but when it comes to strict defnitions, we should call it it's own console

[Anonymous No.6613164]

>>6613152
come to think of it, i wonder if people would be less confused if they just called the gbc "gameboy 2"

[Anonymous No.6613172]

>>6603075
No, and I don't understand why anyone would. To me as a kid, playing loads of original GB games on GBC, the two went together in my mind. GBC is more of an update than a genuinely new console. Like Pokemon Gold/Silver are to Red/Blue; more of a complementary update than a genuinely totally new game (or as Brood War is to StarCraft, etc)

[Anonymous No.6613229]

>>6613172
i think you would have thought differently if the two were just a little more obviously different, like if the gbc had a different screen resolution, different sound capabilities, or more noticably enhanced graphics...

[Anonymous No.6613252]

>>6613229
In terms of raw processing power, the GBC is as the GB was, a handheld NES bascially.
GBA is more of a handheld SNES.

Plus the GBA definitely feels like it belongs to a different era than the GB/ GBC. For a start it came out post-millennium, and also the "Advance" font is in the GameCube style font, and it connected to the GameCube, too. BA and GameCube go together.

[Anonymous No.6613271]

>>6613252
>In terms of raw processing power, the GBC is as the GB was, a handheld NES bascially.
nes: 6502-like @ 1.79MHz
gb: Z80-like @ 4.19MHz
gbc: Z80-like @ 8.38MHz (in gbc mode)
pretty considerable jump on the cpu side going into gbc mode, there are gbc games that wouldn't be possibly on the gb, colour or not
the gbc also has 4x the amount of main memory, 2x the amount of video memory, etc, etc. it's not just a gameboy with a coat of coloured paint. maybe you just didn't have enough gameboy colour games to really see the difference

[Anonymous No.6613478]

>>6613252
So yes you're proving his point, you just don't think the Color counts as a new console because its differences aren't "enough". As if "they didn't change enough" is even a good reason to consider something not a new console. The Game Boy Color is a separate console to the original Game Boy that serves as the original's successor, this has been the case since 1998 and has never changed. Nintendo's always considered it this way and the console had a ton of exclusive games.

There are 576 Game Boy Color games, only a third of which were also playable on original Game Boy. Retard.

[Anonymous No.6616823]

logical answer; no, it has it's own games which are technically incapable of running on the original gameboy

It has more RAM (but the same CPU) than the original Game Boy, a better display and exclusives. It's also backward-compatible to old Game Boy games.
Therefore it's a separate console.

that might be fair, if it were possible to play gameboy colour games on a gameboy by adding something to it
that's an argument you could make for addons like sega cd or 32x, which, while they have their own games, require a host console, and are not independant systems. the expansion pack is in that category imo
the gameboy colour is not a gameboy addon, it's a different gameboy

I have always thought of them as separate consoles. But looking back, especially given the influx of "upgraded" consoles in the last few generations, I think it's time I re-evaluate that stance. It isn't much different from the DSi or New 3DS which both have exclusives. And really I'm shocked that the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X do not have exclusives, but they easily could, which would lead to the same scenario.

In the end, it doesn't matter in the slightest whether they are distinct or not. It doesn't change the games or how we experience them.

[Anonymous No.6617418]

>>6617382
i'm not familiar with the 3ds, and i've never even heard of a new 3ds (probably because "hey have you seen the new 3ds" doesn't scream "it's not just a case redesign btw" to me, so i never looked)
i did own a ds though, and had looked at the dsi, i never considered it to be a ds addon though, it was a whole other system with it's own games, if i wanted to play dsi games, i would have to buy a dsi, replacing my ds. how can someone not consider it another console?

It was marketed as and widely considered to be an updated DS, like the DS Lite but with some extra features. As far as DSi games go, there were less than five actual DSi exclusive games. If it had a huge library of exclusives then it may have been perceived differently.

we're talking about facts here, no just perception
it's either it's own console or it isn't
how many games does it take to be it's own console? is 6 not enough? there are examples of consoles with close to this number of total games, like for example, the Mattel HyperScan, undisputably it's own unique console, but it only has 5 games, so that can't be a defining factor

The difference between the DSi and the HyperScan is that the HyperScan wasn't a slight iterative upgrade to an existing console. It was wholly unique.

I just don't think you can argue it isn't its own separate distinct console when it has literally hundreds of games you can't play on an original Game Boy. It's also not an add-on, it's not a peripheral, it doesn't attach to the original Game Boy, etc.

whether something is a console or not isn't what i'd consider subjective
subjectivity is about things which can be perceived differently by different people and be correct in all cases, like someone may say the nintendo 64 is a good console, and someone else may say it's a bad console, there is no objective measure of how good a console is, so they both just equally-valid opinions on a subjective matter
whether or not the nintendo 64 is a console though, that is not subjective, it's either a console or it's not a console

[Anonymous No.6619541]

exactly, just compare it to something like the psx/ps2
the ps2 is a similar-sized home console, with a nearly identical controller, same kind of memory card, takes optical media, etc, it feels the same to use, it can play psx games, you could replace a psx and play only psx games and it won't feel any different
does that mean the ps2 is just an upgraded psx? should the ps2 not be considered it's own console?

Are the black carts Game Boy games that are forward compatible with the GBC or GBC games that are backwards compatible with the original Game Boy?

[Anonymous No.6626063]

>>6625932
they're gameboy games that include colour information the gbc can use
they're closer to gameboy games than gameboy colour games
so forward-compatible gb games

Do you consider the Super Game Boy to be a "separate" console from the Game Boy? Why or why not?

What is this strawman bullshit
This doesn't remotely make sense

Technically speaking they're Game Boy Color games that are backwards compatible. Game Boy Color games have the complex color data while original Game Boy games do not (although the GBC itself is coded to recognize specific games and give them a different default color palette). Black carts don't take full use of the GBC's capabilities so they can stay backwards compatible. They're still Game Boy Color games though.

what? not him, but how is that not a valid question?
there are gameboy games with super gameboy support, the super gameboy has a few enhancements over the gameboy, similar to the gbc, games supporting the super gameboy can contain colour information
the only major differences between the sgb and gbc is that the sgb is an snes peripheral (requires the snes to use), and afaik has no exclusive games
i would not call it it's own console, but rather a snes peripheral that offers backwards compatibility with the gameboy (with bonus features)

if black cart gameboy games are backwards compatible gameboy colour games, then super gameboy-supporting gameboy games are backwards compatible super gameboy games

The Super Game Boy isn't a console. The only reason you're even pretending it is is because you're being pointlessly semantic and trying to stir shit up for no reason.

It's a Game Boy in a cartridge you can play on a SNES that can enhance some Game Boy games when they're specifically coded to do so, not a separate console. This is like if someone called the Game Boy Player a console because you can have rumble in some games when you use it. Or I guess the Transfer Pak for N64 should be considered a console when used in tandem with Pokemon Stadium (presumably another console in its own right) because you can play a few Game Boy games using it which have the enhancement of speed up functions.

The DSi is a separate console from the DS
The New 3DS is a separate console from the 3DS

Any questions?

Sorry I'll change that part to make it more accurate.

i also didn't bring it up, i also wrote "not him"
the only thing i have a problem with is the idea that the question makes no sense, there are some parallels, it's worth explaining your point

It's plainly evident.
>there are some parallels
Unique library = console
"Enhancements" to games that are playable on another console, no unique library of its own = peripheral or variant, not a console
It's pretty simple
>it's worth explaining your point
Already did

So the DSi is its own console. Good to know.

Yes, it is. Besides the tiny number of wholly exclusive games, it also had the entire eShop that was totally exclusive to DSi until the 3DS got most of them later on. Point still stands that it had dozens of exclusive titles you couldn't play on "original" DS, which makes it its own separate console by all logical measurement.
