I've seen both sides of this expressed before

Personally I kinda tend to lean towards it being a whole new system that had backwards compatibility

I feel like there were enough exclusives to warrant its consideration as its own system.

I wouldnt consider it like, its own generation or anything, though.

I consider it an upgraded version, not a new system entirely. I don't think the GBC had enough exclusives or differences from the original GB to truly be considered a new system. To me it goes GB -> GBA -> DS -> 3DS -> Switch, with anything else simply being an upgrade/variant

Dai Grepher: I was wrong. My entire theory is incorrect. Zero Mission IS a remake of Metroid.

New games, new system. Pro-model only games like Xenoblade on N3DS is different, but the GBC had a whole library

It had its own GBC games so I'd consider it it a new system with backwards compatibility.

The wiki article for GBC exclusives lists 114 games. Idk how many of those *only* work in color, but even it was like, half, Id say its a significant amount.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Game_Boy_Color-only_games

New 3DS had like...Xenoblade.

DSi is a bit of a weird case, as it only had a handful of mainexclusives (which were only exclusive because they utilized the camera or something), but it also had a ton of DSiware which you could only find on that system. So idk how Id classify that one.

It's got exclusive games (and even some new processing power to boot!), it counts as its own system
