meh, I wont get it. It may have the "looks cool factor" but I have a DS

Hmm... it seems to ship out on someone's birthday

I'll need to play one at a kiosk first. I fear the screen size might be just too small. They should make a GB Mega that has a PSP size screen.

Dyne · 08-16-2005, 07:38 PM

It's already coming out?

Well it would be perfect size to take on the skytrain.. I'll wait for pricing.

The original GB turned me blind. Now with these lit color screens with their higher resolution the glasses companies are losing business. GB Micro is a way to again bring business back with the kids who wouldn't have gotten glasses without the help of some evil device made by Nintendo.

Nintendo is cutting the price of the DS down from $150 to $130 as well.

Dyne · 08-17-2005, 11:45 PM

Ok, I'm out.

I'm sure everyone else is too.

Jonbo298 · 08-18-2005, 12:41 AM

Wow, way to shoot yourself in the foot Nintendo with that price

Microsoft must be injecting a few employees with the special stuff

Well some people arguing on the IGN boards do have a good point..

It's smaller, and it has a better screen than past GBAs... So it somewhat makes sense that it costs more than saaaay the SP...

However, given the current state of the Nintendo handheld market, it's pretty retarded... For 20 bucks less you can get the very nice GBA SP, or for 30 bucks more you can get a DS which also plays GBA games (and they look rather swell on it's screen, from what I hear)...

It just doesn't make much sense to buy one at that price...
