Including GBC is like including DSi and New 3DS. They're all redesigns with slightly better hardware and a few exclusive games.

GBC is different enough from regular Game Boy that it deserves its own spot on the list. There were GBC games that are not backwards compatible to Game Boy or Game Boy Pocket. I agree that not every variant should have its own entry, but GBC stands out enough to deserve a separate entry.

Now the real question is does it belong in the portable category or not? I may be wrong about this but I think it ran on batteries.

Virtual boy was either a console or portable that's for sure. Should be on quiz.

There was also the Game Boy Advance SP...

Choosing only consoles for which specific games were made seems a sensible criterion to me.

Virtual boy should be on the quiz. Also, more consistency in the answers. Some require the full name some just require the system name. Eg. 64 worked, but advance did not.

For a similar quiz on Atari consoles... have a look at this one:

It makes sense to only count handhelds which had a new cartridge type. GB, GBA, DS, and 3DS all had a number of different iterations but change the game standards. I agree though that Virtual Boy should definitely count.

In that case the Game Boy Color should probably come out. There were a (very) few cartridges that would play in a GBC but not the older Game Boy, such as Dragon Warrior 3, Pokemon Crystal, and probably a few others, but not enough to really consider it a separate system entirely.

There were quite a lot actually (I've still got a stack of some of them), and setting an arbitrary number for qualification makes less sense surely than just specifying that each console listed must have its own games.

At least in my case, it never occurred to me to try "SNES." On reading your comment, I can recognize that it's a commonly enough used term, but certainly among my friends and I growing up, we always called it "Super NES" (as in: "Super en ee ess") and pretty much never "SNES."

I tried entering "Super NES" in the quiz and was absolutely dumbfounded at the fact that it didn't seem to be a valid answer. After filling out the rest, and coming back, I thought that maybe the "NES" part had to be typed out in full, and started typing "Super Nintendo"... which is the point where it was accepted.

So: fair enough, I suppose. If you know your stuff you'll get it eventually. But like I said, until seeing your comment it never occurred to me (and never would occur to me) to try calling it "SNES." That's just not a term by which I ever think of it.

Huh, weird. I pretty much always only heard it called "Super Nintendo," except for in print where it was often "SNES." I never really heard anyone refer to it as "Super NES."

It’s a really dumb new version of the 3ds. It doesn’t close and the 3D feature’s gone. The fact it’s dumb is just my opinion though, as I’ve heard people that really like it.

Why do you say that? Was the Virtual Boy not a "Nintendo console?" Or are you simply saying that because the quiz literally says "not including the ... Virtual Boy?"

It might be worth considering adding a caveat that these are only the systems released in multiple regions. Japan got tones of exclusive systems like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_TV-Game as well as a portable system that used magnetic cards and a few systems over the years that used floppy disks.

As a side note, I'm interested why the Virtual Boy is a caveat. The only thing that really sets it apart from the others is that it was very poorly received by the public. Personally, I thought it was a cool idea that simply suffered from haste. But it was widely released with several games available in multiple regions and is certainly well known by Nintendo enthusiasts and by old farts like me who were around when it launched.
