thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: If this is "more commonly referred to as the 16-bit era", shouldn't that be the title of the page? To label this era as the "fourth" smells of original research to me - trying to apply your own chronology to something that does not have a distinct natural numbering system.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.91.92.28 (talk) 21:00, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Bad title

message: The article list the SNES as backwards compatible with the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy( through accesories Super 8 and Super Game Boy)
Both those periferal are systems on a chip. Both periferal are hardware clones of their own, and process the entire game while the SNES only provides joystick input, power, and in the case of the Super Game Boy, video pass throughhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Game_Boy#Hardwarehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_(video_game_accessory (Super 8 has its own video output, to further demonstrate that is not the SNES running the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIQ2Fij-W_E)
In contrast, the Power Base Adapter for Sega Megadrive doesn't have any Master System Hardware, only adapts the cartdrige format, and the game runs on the Megadrive (the secondary procesor Z80 included in the Megadrive is the actual CPU of the Master System, and takes control when running Master System games, leaving the 68k main CPU idle)http://segaretro.org/Power_Base_Converter#Technical_information
There are remnants of actual initial attempts of NES backwards compatibility in the SNES hardware, if anyone is interested I could trace the source of it.

replies: text: I do not think this article really misrepresents anything, as it clearly notes accessories are required to use the console for these purposes. The related articles expand and provide the rest of the detail. -- ferret (talk) 19:09, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
