| Trentonater said: It's a newer system with it's own extensive game library. Games made for the gameboy color were marketed as gameboy color games and not general gameboy games. |
Same as the DSi and New 3DS, but those aren't successors. They're revisions of the same system.
Also a lot of games marked as "Gameboy Color" on the box do work on the Gameboy. Pokemon Gold and Silver are just 2 examples. If the game card is the same as a Gameboy card then it will work in the Gameboy. The ones that specifically are marked "Gameboy Color" on the game card cannot work on the Gameboy.
