Just about the size of a cell phone

Although there are obvious drawbacks to playing on the Micro rather than the more comfortable GBA SP or standard Game Boy Advance, the GB Micro is a handy little gadget to have, and is plenty capable as a game machine even at its diminutive size.


QUOTE
but the thing that we find almost more impressive is its screen. Vastly superior to the GBA SP screen, the brightness on this tiny doodad is even brighter than the Nintendo DS, and approaching the luminance of the PSP. (You can even crank up the brightness way past the default setting.)


QUOTE
it's actually a comfortable system to hold because of its size. Unlike the GBA SP, with its awkward square design, the Micro is so small that its corners won't jam into your finger joints, and its weight is obviously very easy to support for long play sessions.


QUOTE
The shoulder buttons are a different story, however. Nintendo chose to set the buttons to be hit in the inside edge rather than the outside, allowing you to rest your fingers along the top and press in with your relaxed fingers. It makes the system easy to hold, but it's not exactly an intuitive position for playing -- you can hit the buttons, but it's a different flex of the finger than normal, so you'll have to train yourself to play with a Micro


QUOTE
There's also a keychain slot on the side -- and for once, we have a system small enough to actually make sense as a keychain

QUOTE
The ability to constantly change the look for your GB Micro is nice, but one of the best things about the detachable faceplate is that it covers the screen -- the unit includes a plastic window that protects the screen, and when you've gotten too many dings and scratches in a faceplate, toss it and get a new one.


Hmm, neat!

The GBM is around $100.00 here in the US-of-A.

I'm thinking of getting it. It seems pretty cool and I'm in need of a new Gameboy. This Gameboy can play all GBA and Above games.

Pretty neat console thingy eh?

Awesome... If I was going to get a GB at all, thats what I'd get!

I saw White Guy's thread about this at Forumer. The GB Micro is nice looking and small for practicality, but it doesn't have that many new games, so I personally don't care for it.

Is it backward-compatible?

White Guy- 09-20-2005
No that's not me in the pic.

And it plays GBA games.

Well, seeing as it plays GBA games, there isn't really anything that's new for it...

But I would recomend the old SNES and NES Super Mario games cause they rocked! And still do....
