Nintendo markets this system as a model of the Game Boy other than a new handheld. Sure, the same goes for the [[Nintendo DSi]], but the DSi has a camera, a new OS, a shop, DSiWare, no GBA slot, and a higher resolution. The only things different between the GBP and GBC are the color LCD and exclusive games (including the Printer and Camera). | Nintendo markets this system as a model of the Game Boy other than a new handheld.

::::::::We have GBC split because different games can run on it than the original Game Boy. Same thing with the DSi, because it impacts one game (which is, admittedly, a minor case). However, we do not have the New Nintendo 3DS split because there is nothing exclusive on the system in regards to ''Mario'' titles. Of course their respective lines are in the same family, that's not the point. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:06, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | ::::::::We have GBC split because different games can run on it than the original Game Boy.

1: Marjo JC says that the DSi is the same as the DS while the GBC is different than the GB, despite having bigger differences for some reasons. Nintendo says that the DSi is a DS AND the GBC is a GB. The former is believed, but the latter is not.<br>2.

:I'm not seeing where Mario jc said this, but the DSi is a DS and the Game Boy Color is a Game Boy. That much is obvious. However, they have different specifications that determine what games are able to be played on them. This is why they are separated, not because they aren't in the same line (they are), but because of the games they run. If no Game Boy Color-specific ''Mario'' games were released, we likely would've had the Game Boy Color on the same article as the Game Boy. | |||
:Why ''Minecraft''? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:13, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
::Minecraft can only be played on the new models because of the extra controls. {{User:Bowser201/sig}} 14:15, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:::And that is relevant how? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:15, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:::Wait, never mind, I forgot it was on the New 3DS and not the earlier models. But that's not a ''Mario'' game, it just has ''Mario'' content, so the information is covered in the game's article, not the console's. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:17, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
::::Then why is ''Minecraft'' listed in the games section? {{User:Bowser201/sig}} 14:19, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:::::Because we're not just going to not cover the game, it is still within our coverage. | |||
:::::But that's beside the point. Your point isn't splitting the New Nintendo 3DS, it is merging the Game Boy Color, which has clear opposition for a variety of reasons. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:20, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:::::You're right. I am just so blown away that you disagree with me while I have coverage from Nintendo! {{User:Bowser201/sig}} 14:22, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
::::::As stated above, Nintendo has called the GBC the GB's successor. Sales figures do not outrank that. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:27, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||

::::::::I don't see it there. He did design a LSI, but it is for different models, not families. Correct me if I'm wrong. {{User:Bowser201/sig}} 14:55, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||

::::::::::Sorry to say this but I doubt anyone is going to agree with you. There's no reason to merge the Game Boy Color - from a Mario series perspective, which as I've said is how we determine things like this, it warrants an article due to having exclusive Mario content to that console. Even from a perspective of Nintendo in general, it arguably warrants an article even more since it's an upgraded version of one of Nintendo's consoles, and one that was groundbreaking at that. There really aren't any reasons to merge them no matter which direction you look at it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:57, June 19, 2020 (EDT) | |||
