[[File:GBC Logo.png|150px|left]]The '''[[nwiki:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]]''' is the successor to the [[Game Boy]], Nintendo's third handheld system, and in some ways, the handheld counterpart of the [[Nintendo 64]]. It is similar to its predecessors, the most notable differences being that it is lighter, capable of displaying multiple colors and that the processing power is twice as fast. It is the final handheld to feature 8-bit graphics. | [[File:GBC Logo.png|150px|left]]The '''[[nwiki:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]]''' is the successor to the [[Game Boy]], Nintendo's third handheld system, and in some ways, the handheld counterpart of the [[Nintendo 64]].

Some games made for the original [[Game Boy]] display more colors if played on a Game Boy Color. Other games were made exclusively for the Game Boy Color. The older versions could not play these, but the [[Game Boy Advance]] could. It also had the shortest lifetime of a Nintendo handheld, as it was discontinued in 2003, and the last game was released later the same year. | Some games made for the original [[Game Boy]] display more colors if played on a Game Boy Color.

Like the original [[Game Boy]], the Game Boy Color has the same buttons. These are {{Button|gbc|A}} , {{Button|gbc|B}} , {{Button|gbc|start}} , {{Button|gbc|select}} buttons and the {{Button|gbc|Pad}}. There are no compatibility issues with games made for the original Game Boy being run on a Game Boy Color. All games, accessories that are programmed for a particular game (such as a Game Link Cable), and non-standard features (such as the camera protruding out of a [[Game Boy Camera]] cartridge) will work on a Game Boy Color. Playing games that didn't have any color can now be played in color using a color pallete by using a combination of {{Button|gbc|Pad}} and {{Button|gbc|a}}, {{Button|gbc|b}}, or no additional button being pressed to select presets, similar to the [[Super Game Boy]] how someone can change the colors the typical monochrome display. | Like the original [[Game Boy]], the Game Boy Color has the same buttons.
