Summary: This Handheld changes everything
Comment: When I heard about this handheld I was very skepticall.
But when I got it my life changed.
When I am in the bank waiting for my turn, when I am at the subway, when I am at the movies.
Waiting now it is very fun.
I've had videogames for game boy advance since 2001, now I have about 30 games in storage, and with the game boy micro these games are alive again.
The memories of the good ol'days are back also.
I can't describe just how happy I am with this Game Boy Micro.

Summary: Nice
Comment: This is my first foray back into handheld platforms. Too bad I got it within the past twelve months and they are discontinuing the GBA games. This is a good pocket-sized system though. If you are looking to maybe "downsize" your GBA, pick this up. The only bummer is you can't plug it into your Gamecube. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Summary: cell-phone inspired Game Boy
Comment: Nintendo has had tremendous success over the last 18 or so years with the Gameboy franchise. The gaming public has seen many versions of the Gameboy released during this period, and once again Nintendo has put out yet another winner in this product line.
The Gameboy Micro is simply a mini version of the Gameboy Advance. Unlike the SP version, this one does not "flip" open to reveal the screen. When they named it the "Micro" they hit the nail squarely on the head. From what I have read, Nintendo was aiming to make the Gameboy a trendy "tech" item, one that would mirror the small design of today's mobile phone market. They pulled this off; the Micro is about the size of a cell phone. It is very sleek in design but also very simple. Nothing is wasted; you have your basic command buttons and power/volume switches, and a plug-in for headphones. That is about it aside from the plug-in for the charger.
The Micro will play all GBA games but not Gameboy Color games.
The screen clarity is a perfect 10. Games look amazing on this little guy, and the colors jump right off the screen. In my opinion this a feature that is worth the price of the Micro alone. Also, the battery life is extrememly long.
From what I can tell, the most popular version of the Gameboy has been the SP. As a result, many SP owners will be (rightfully) skeptical of the need to purchase a Micro since it is not an upgrade in terms of the games it plays. It is still, at the end of the day, a GBA. If you are looking for the best graphics then I would buy a DS Lite.
My only complaint is that sometimes the system feels almost TOO small in my hands. Other than that, I would recommend this one to any Gameboy fan. Very simple, excellent quality, and a HUGE library of games to choose from.

Summary: very small screen but handy size to carry
Comment: Not as good as the DS Lite, but handy size for the many GBA games I have. I like that you can adjust the brightness. Easy to carry in pocket. I wish it came with a black faceplate.

Summary: Get it now before they're gone.
Comment: This is truly a portable game system. So small that it will fit IN your hand, the GBMicro is worth the money, especially now that it's price has gone down. It is comfortable, the buttons have this great "mushy-ness" to them when pressed, the screen is ultra-sharp and BRIGHT. Bright as a DS lite. The battery life in phenomenal and only takes about an hour to an hour and a half to charge. The Start and Select buttons light up blue at start up to show the Micro still has a good charge, then turn red when charging is needed. People have complained that the Micro does not feature backwards-compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, but having those larger carts sticking out of your tiny Micro would kind of defeat it's purpose, no? I absoulutely love this thing, it is always in my pocket. While the DS lite is the king right now, the GBmicro is perfect for everyone, hardcore and casual gamers, you will find that it is deffinitely more travel-friendly. I highly recommend it. To collectors, GET ONE NOW!!!
