Nintendo Game Boy Micro Console

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.

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 by ...

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.

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 cost that ...

Pros: SMALL GREAT SCREEN BATTERY LIFE LCD is PROTECTED SOME EXCELLENT GAMES

Cons: NOT ALL GREAT GAMES ARE IN STORES (ex: advance wars)

The Bottom Line: The Most Portable System ! Buy it on sale !

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 small... if ...

Pros: Brighter screen, smaller equipment

Cons: size might cause you to loose it.

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 and ...

Pros: Keeps the kids busy

Cons: Does not teach the kids good responsibility

Review: This electronic BREAKTHROUGH is amazing it keeps my kids busy all day long. If I was to run errands and need to bring my kids with me, I have no problem with running around trying to keep my kids content because they are highly content with their Game ...

Pros: Portable and durable

Cons: Could use a brighter back light.

Review: This is a really cool pocket game system. It fits into the smallest of pockets making it the most portable ever. There's nothing to flip open and risk breakage, making it durable. Additionally ,it's easy for small hands to hold onto - Love it! Love it! ...

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.

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 nobody's ...

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.

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” ...

Pros: Small Size, Vibrant Screen, Headphone Jack, Rechargable

Cons: Lack of Backwards compatabilty with Game Boy Color

The Bottom Line: The Game Boy Micro isn't perfect, but if you just want to play Game Boy Advance games the Game Boy Micro will give them a new lease on life.

Review: The original Game Boy was a godsend for teenagers everywhere; the ability to play your favorite NES games on the go was an amazing concept at a time when portable Pac Man consoles were available on a keychain near you. The Game Boy wasn’t ...

Pros: The portability is great!

Cons: There is no flip down cover to protect the screen.

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 ...
