New Gameboy Micro is smallest handheld yet

[jackwanders]

The sporty, silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside today?s hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models, complete with standard face controls and gleaming shoulder and Start/Select buttons that literally shine.

Kind of like how cell phones have gotten smaller over the years. The smaller they are the easier they are to lose. Which means you would have to get another.

Man, I've got long fingers, I dont' WANT it any smaller, darnit!

/goes back to original GB

there are start and select buttons, but they're on the bottom front edge, kind of pointing down almost.

that might have bene the idea they were after

God.. Why wont they stop trying to sell us the same thing over and over again? It's like the third version of GBA.. get over it! jeez..

[kurono]

*raises the WTF flag*

:blink:

[jami_welch]

possible nes controller for revolution games?

[Dazzla Veteran]

You know what, I didn't consider that. It'd be pretty cool.

[Deaf Spacker]

As Dazzla said, it looks pretty cool but I think thats one GBA redesign too far :|

I'll second that! I wish Nintendo would stop repackaging old hardware...

[Mystical112]

thats pretty nice...

[Dazzla Veteran]

Well, no-one is forcing you to buy it. I mean I have young relatives who still play GBA and their GBA's and GBA SP's are ruined. If this is cheap enough it's something you could give to these. I wouldn't dream of giving my cousin my PSP but I'd happily throw them this.

Shame it's ran it's course really, anyone who wanted a GBA for any of the games that are out on it, has one now. I dunno who's gonna pick these up.

What the hell are they thinking? They are just milking the cash cow at this point.

They thinking that they don't want to have any loose ends open vs PSP. They now have a handheld for each type of gamer.

The old schooler/ultra mobile guy (micro gameboy)

Hardcore player (SP)

Casual gamer/non-gamers/enthusiasts (DS)

[DaSwissDude]

WTF?

How big is that screen man? I dont wanna damage my eyes...

i love gameboy advance, but they just need to stick with one design. Im gunna feel obligated to buy one though, and it better only be like $70 tops. How long has GBA been around for now? 5 years or something? I think they kinda realised that the DS sucks and there isn't much you can do with 2 screens. 1 touchscreen would have been fine for the games ive played (except FPS like metroid), i don't even toch my DS anymore, it just collects dust. my psp and lumines get all the action.

Just because DS doesnt appeal to you doesnt mean it sucks. So you only play lumines on PSP, should I then judge PSP sucks cause only 1 good game?

Please, I bet you will retract that that statement when DS wifi enabled game titles come out this year.

I can't help but feel dorky when i play it too. Its all big and bulky. I wouldn't even dream of playing it in public. Im looking forward to mario kart, but then again, why would i need 2 screens for that. I just see useless stuff on the bottom screen most of the time.

there is a reason why nintendo, sony and microsoft are in the games market and thats because people want variety and choice, just because something suits one person doesnt mean its going to suit another. hey each to there own, i mean i dont even own any games console. i used to be a huge nintendo fan but i found a new love which is my pc.
