The micro colors Duke! The micro colors!

I like the handheld, but I dont think I'll get it, unless it was aroun $50... theres no way that it'll be more...

[MuGen]

$50 is a little too much to ask for a small ass handheld like that.... It's obsolete... just making it "micro" sized doesn't make it any better then any of the current GBA/SP/DS handhelds that are out.

I really dont see this making it in the market... everyone who has GBA's and such probably won't grovel at the sight of a small gameboy... Although Gameboys were massive like oldies brick cell phones... LOL

All that aside... this product almost seems pointless from Nintendo, it's almost as if they rushed this out to offset not showing anything about Revolution at the press conf.

I think everyone that is beside Nintendo on this, is STILL waiting for Revolution details and something they can be excited about...

following up on the recent question... Will anyone actually jump at the chance to own a small gameboy when they have a GBA/C/SP and DS???

[GameMaster]

I won't be jumping, I haven't played a GBA game in a LONG time. None of the games interest me. It's a shame too, because I wasted money on 2 normal GBAs and an SP. The only Nintendo handheld that is enjoyable for me is the DS. Even though Nintendo doesn't classify the DS as a Gameboy, that's pretty much what it is.

Gameboy Micro = Disappointing Gimmick

It'll sell nevertheless though. Youngsters will want it and parents will like the smaller price tag. It's an economic alternative if you can't afford a DS or the awesome PSP.

I see it being a cheap alternative to the SP honestly. I have the original GBA and a DS. But if I want quality back-lit gameplay I have to play GBA games on my DS. That just plain sucks because the button layout is all wrong because A & B on a DS is where they were on a Super Nintendo and not where they were on the GBA or NES.

So yes, I honestly may get this instead of a hard to hold SP.

Is SP hard to hold? Have you ever held one?

This Game Boy Micro..... well.... perhaps nice as a birthday present, if it's $40 or so.

Yeah, I test them out everyday working at Gamestop. I hate the things.

No. It's not obsolete.

People are going to keep buying Gameboy. It's not the obsolete, clearance item people make it out to be. Nintendo's just beating a horse that's not dead yet - I'm willing to bet that this will push at least a million sales.

On that note, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stone is out soon. Yum.

size comparison of GBA.


perhaps its different in japan, but for me, smaller screen is just making things worse.
