New Gameboy Micro is smallest handheld yet


Recommended Posts

:p not to be picky Oneill but

"Different sizes"

The GBA's are different sizes

"Specs/features"

They all have slight different specs. (e.g. no backlight, backlight, adjustable backlight)<---thats an example!

Or how about the customizable faceplats, thats a feature.

Probably will be way cheap too.

Yes but they are still the same guts, they dont do anything different, they all still play GBA games talk about milking it.

Well, playing Minish Cap on the DS was a huge improvement over playing it on an SP, the difference between a backlit screen and a frontlit screen is immense. This coupled with the Play-Yan adapter thing could make a cool little MP3 player.

Once again how is this different from the ipod series?

They all do the same thing, play music, with a sligltly different set of features and price point.

Slightly?

They are very different in size and hdd space, and with ipod photo you can look at pictures. All theyve done is made it smaller, they havent added anything to it and the blind fanboys will buy into it.

Right now Apple could put crap in a box, call it iCrap and it would sellout.  What remains to be seen is long-term sales and reliability reports after the first 2 months of use? which could be great, average or poor...who knows at this point.
Id rather seen the time/money spent making this put into something like making the DS a bit smaller and some more games for it or a playable revolution at E3 mabie ....

Eventually that will happen, but if they did that now, they would awefully **** off many DS owners and lag sales.

Probably in 1-2 years, there will be a DS new design.

funny you say that.

I had a suggestion for a design way back.

It's simple.

Make the top screen removable!

Save size!

Not everyone uses the two screen anyway.

They just needed to put the speakers on the bottom unit itself.

OR OR I just thought of this now.

If they made the bottom screen indented, then they could make both screens fit into the center.

how do i explain this better.

hmmm

imagine the psp's bottom half. the inner screen is lower than the side panels so that ----___-----

and the top screen is just the size of the screen so that when it's closed it fits into the gap so -------------

flatness baby.

Let me just add that the GBA SP is plenty small enough, looks a helluva lot cooler, and protects the screen much better. ANOTHER Gameboy at this point is just totally unnecessary, unless it will cost much less (like $50) than the other Gameboy launches. Considering the fact that it is yet another remake of the Game Boy Advance which is so aged now, its not even worth that.

I think micro gb and Play Yan media player would be a powerfull contender against PSP or Ipods.

For a cheap price, you can play GBA games, watch videos and listen to music in a ultra tiny handheld. This is like mobile gamers ultimate dream.

I think it will do fine.

what?

Xbox -->Halo Xbox

        --> Crystal Xbox

PS2 --->Slimline PS2

      --->Silver PS2

    --->White ps2

Everyone is doing it

Xbox has never been repackaged. Those are just limited editions. No changes at all. PS2 was due for one, Gameboy Advance, thats just rediculous. There already is two models, now a third? No thanks.

k people why are u all gettin angry at nintendo. i doubt itll be more than 60 bucks an why didnt anyone yell at apple for bringing all those ipods. even though they are inferior to creatives. this thing has a great market. its soo small that u can put it in ur shirt pocket an customizable. i think this will sell like hotcakes especially in japan.

Why? Because its cheaper, smaller HD, something useful. A gameboy, its life is almost done.

Sorry I disagree witht he lack of vision comment, if it wasnt for there so called lack of vision i think wed all missing a plumber, nevermind a few other noteable greats.

Plus I would think the Big N`s vision was clear here...

DS - Our New Handheld

GBA/SP - Had there run DS is the new big bro

so what else can we cover / give a spin. Lets face it with a newer console out the older / latter int his case the GBA/SP will see sales plummet, but how about we re-position the GBA with a new model meant to make the Portable console more of a .... well Game and Watch style afair.

I like the idea of a tiny gagdet that,ll play these games.

No one ever complained whent he Mobile Phone got smaller, Ninty and many others see the GB as just that, its the evolution of the device.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
