Thus far, Nintendo has launched 9 families of gaming consoles:

1. NES/Famicom

2. Gameboy Family

3. SNES Super Famicom

4. N64

5. GCN

6. NDS Family

7. Wii

8. 3DS Family

9. Wii U

I don't understand your logic, here.

Gameboy Advance is merged in with GB/GBC, despite being a new system with more inputs, different cartridges, and releases that couldn't play the older versions... yet the DS and 3DS are separate families despite having almost exactly the same properties (except there hasn't been a 3DS that can't play DS games, to my knowledge). Everything about the GBA was different from the GB, from screen resolution (240x160 vs 160x144), to CPU (GBA had a GB CPU included for backwards compatibility - the main CPU was a very different processor), to sound system, etc.

It's not the name, because you have Wii and Wii U, and you have NES and SNES. So what is the logic behind this particular categorisation of game systems?

Don't ask me, I didn't name it.

Please use the Official NX thread

That thread is about rumors and info to date. This thread is about spiritual awakening .

Indeed, Nintendo works in misterous ways.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

If the Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance are all counted as one, why are the DS/3DS and Wii/Wii U considered separate? Also, what about the Game & Watch or the Color TV game? Not forgetting the Pokémon Mini or Virtual Boy, as well as the Famicom DIsk System and Nintendo 64DD add-ons.



TheLastStarFighter on 24 June 2015

All I can tell you is what was shown to me in the vision. They group the handheld families together, Gameboy Advance was considered part of the Gameboy line, but DS was considered a new "third pillar". The DS line had a whole family of systems, and so does the 3DS line. They don't count each entry in the Gameboy, DS or 3DS line as a new family.

Each new home console is on its own though, even if the names are similar. They too are their own family, like the Wii and Wii Mini or the NES and NES2 edition.

Consider each numbered entry to be a "family". The NX is the tenth family, and it's special because it's when the two main families come together in a cross "X".

Virtual boy and Game and Watch don't count because neither is either a home console or a portable console.

I can believe all of that except for a huge 3D Mario game as a launch title. We're long past the days of great launch games.

"The NX Gamepad will be its own system-"

Nope. So close, though.
