But you couldn’t play Advance games on the Color, which was why the Advance had that distinctive squatty T shape. The T shape was specifically to prevent you from jamming an Advance cartridge into a Color.
But that was backward compatibility. The color came out first, and when the advance came out later, it was able to play the previous console’s games. The same thing will be possible with the Switch 2. The tab that the 3ds games introduced was so that you couldn’t plug the new 3ds games into the old DS, because it wouldn’t be powerful enough to play them. This would be like expecting the gameboy color to play gameboy advance games.
And the Gameboy color, and Gameboy advance too. They’ve done this many times
Not true, you could play Color games on the Advance.

Yeah, I got given a gameboy colour for Christmas when I was like 5 or so.
My parents bought me Spyro the dragon for GBA as my game while my sister got Harry potter for her gameboy colour.
Worst Christmas ever. Cause no gameboy game to play nothing open boxing day.
We also had to get batteries too haha.
Yeah the cartridges just got shorter
