Small is the New Big: Nintendo Game Boy Micro

by  B_Campbell ,  Oct 4, 2005
84 out of 84 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Small: 4"x2"x1", light, extremely bright display, trendy, standard headphone jack, huge GBA library
Cons: Feels fragile, unprotected display, no Game Boy/GBC compatibility
The Bottom Line: The Micro is a tough choice at only $20 more than the SP. Cool and stylish, it's a great answer to Sony's PSP, and hundreds of games are already available.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy. Back then, nobody cared that they were playing games in only pea-soup green or that the thing drained batteries like...

Big gaming in a small package

by  eternityawaits ,  Mar 28, 2006
45 out of 45 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Small, portable, customizeable, bright screen.
Cons: Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.
The Bottom Line: Great for teens, commuters, techies, definitely not your kid's Game Boy. I love mine, but make sure it has what you're looking for.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I don t think of Nintendo s Game Boy Micro as a new system, so much as I think of it as an extension of their already popular Game Boy Advance line. The system is essentially a Game Boy Advance in a smaller shell. I don t think of it as a novelty...

Size does matter? Gameboy Micro review.

by  StarSoldier1 ,  Feb 17, 2006
30 out of 31 people found this review helpful.
Pros: It's so easy to hide this thing from your boss or teacher.
Cons: It isn't anything new really yet it still costs a lot of money.
The Bottom Line: I still like the GBA but if you are going to make something smaller then make it cheaper!

Review: GAME BOY MICRO
(2005-????)

I was worried when Nintendo first announced a 32-bit successor to the insanely popular original 8-bit Game Boy Color way back in 2001. Sure, the Game Boy Advance was a cool system...

Suddenly, my N-gage is looking worlds better.

by  dogeymon ,  Feb 24, 2006
19 out of 19 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Best design ever for an advance...
Cons: ...but looks are all it excells at.
The Bottom Line: A novelty. That's it.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: Nintendo are drunken sailors who spend money like drunken sailors. But to be fair, they're at least intelligent drunken sailors. They know even if they release the same Gameboy system four different times, it'll still sell by the millions. Although,...

Great gaming on a screen the size of 2 postage stamps.

by  fruityrock ,  Oct 2, 2005
15 out of 15 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Small, fun, and VERY portable.
Cons: Aging technology, no new features, expensive, needs a "sleep" mode badly.
The Bottom Line: It's a fun little system. If you have money to spend on toys and like video games, you can't go wrong. Look out for bad shoulder buttons and dead pixels.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The word is out; there's nothing new with the Nintendo Game Boy Micro, except size. Why buy it? It's small, cute, fun, and you have a hundred bucks to blow... oh- and you're a gadget lover. I must say, it's a cool gadget for sure. The unit comes...

Three cheers for Game Boy Micro

by  mack-dohc ,  Dec 29, 2006
12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Portability, stunning screen, stylish design, expansive (and inexpensive) game library.
Cons: How much longer will the Advance lineup be supported? Possibly not child-friendly.
The Bottom Line: A great console that maximizes portability by minimizing its size. The beautiful screen renders games in vibrant detail, and additions like the headphone jack make the Micro a winner.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: For the uninitiated, the Game Boy Micro is Nintendo's latest addition to their venerable portable Game Boy console lineup. The Micro made its North American debut in September 2005 - albeit with very little fanfare in the US. Although I'm...

Game Boy Micro

by  garfield135 ,  Mar 6, 2008
11 out of 11 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Size, screen, good looks, fun factor.
Cons: Backwards compatibility, and speaker.
The Bottom Line: If you find it for a good price, get it.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: This is my review on the Game Boy Micro; the first Advance Game Boy with both a normal headphone jack and a backlit screen.
So, I got my Micro last year. It cost me only $16.50 on eBay shipped. In case you are wondering, they don't normally...

by  happy_717 ,  May 10, 2006
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful.
Pros: The portability is great!
Cons: There is no flip down cover to protect the screen.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The Game Boy Micro is a great little system. I love it because I can take it anywhere with me. The Micro is not quite as advanced as other games, but is definatly worth the money. I love the portability of it and the backlit screen is great for...

Review: I've just got a GAMEBOY MICRO (i'm 26) and i'm very happy with it ! I bought it (with yoshi's island 20$can) to play in the metro or bus after work and the screen is so bright that it is really easy to play even if the thing is really really...

Amazing

by  sng5 ,  Jul 20, 2006
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Brighter screen, smaller equipment
Cons: size might cause you to loose it.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: This little game has such a bright screen unlike the other games. You can really get into the game and be able to see it really well.You can take it anywhere it will fit in your pocket. The game piece may be smaller but the screen is the same size...
