Forums - Nintendo - Game Boy Micro...

I just started a thread about another Nintendo DS, when I mentioned Game Boy Micro, and got to thinking about that minature portable. It was cool due to its size, but it ONLY played Game Boy Advance games, and you had to buy new accessories for it since it was too small to use either the Advance or the SP's. Nintendo didn't sell many of them, I think about a million or two. The screen is so TINY! It did enter the record books as the worlds smallest game system, but overall, it had more drawbacks than I liked. True, I did buy the attachment that allowed it to connect to an Advance, and I do have one, and the faceplates made it nice, but with its small size I have lost the thing quite a few times- VERY easy to do when it's this small! As far as I know Nintendo hasn't produced it since it came out. As you can see, I've got mixed feelings about the Micro. I always called it 1/2 a DS, since really, that's what it was since it only played Advance games. Now that it looks like it's clearly dead, I have a question. How does everyone else feel about the Game Boy Micro? Was it a good idea, bad idea?

It was a big fat flop....

apart from that the concept was horrible since the start.

God knows why ninty even introduced it

GBA SP FTW!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

My favorite handheld ever. I know it had shortcomings, but I love it. It feels like a no nonsense gaming device, sure you had to buy all these adapters and it couldetn play GB and GBC games, nor could it connect to the Gamecube, but its still my favorite.

I love you Game Boy Micro



GB micro was shite, it was....EDIT....I thought the screen was black and white?....I know it was small but still...this is the 21st century.

My GB micro is probably my favorite handheld; besides it I own a GBC, a DS, and a PSP.

 I'm sorry about that, I always thought the screen wasn't in colour...They were doing them cheap for £9.99 a few months ago in a bargain bin in game where I live. I'd have dame well got one :(

 

Sorry about that, I'm a plank.



I wish I got one when they came out. >>



Mine is just awesome. I wish I could buy more direct from Nintendo, I'd keep myself swimming in the damn things.
