I wonder how far down exactly the 3DS matrioshka goes. GBA also had a full GB on board, but not only for backwards compat: it actually served as a sound co-processor for contemporary GBA games.

The DS dropped support for GB/GBC games and consequently the eshop versions of game boy colour games on 3ds are emulated, so there's your break

  The Game Boy ran at 5V logic and the GBA 3.3V; my understanding is that there were some technical hurdles to supporting both on the GBA which Nintendo was happy to be rid of-- the Game Boy Micro, the last model in the Game Boy line, also only supported GBA games for that reason.

    Also because the micro would look even more ridiculous with a full-size cartridge sticking out the top

      > ridiculous We have very different tastes. The Gameboy Micro is the most adorable piece of hardware I have ever seen.
