Gameboy Micro

[ChrisInCali]

So I already have a GBA sp, and a DS, why should I buy a GBM when it doesn't play GBC or GB games, plus the screen is rediculously small.

That's a good question considering the fact that they already have the GBA, GBA SP, and Nintendo DS. This is ridiculously unnecessary honestly, prepare for low sales on this.

I guess maybe they are targeting the ipod owners amongst us. Small is beautiful, or so they believe in Japan Maybe they'll bring out the GBA macro next, one you have to use a microscope to see

I would have never thought it was coming out at $100. Maybe it would have been worth it have they included the play-yan.

At 100 bucks, a Nintendo DS would probably be as cheap as a Micro by the time it comes out.

you shouldnt...

i still have my normal GBA and i'm waiting for a price drop on the SP...maybe the release of the micro will make the SP's price drop enough for me to get one soon

i hope, at least...i've also heard that the backlighting was better on the micro than the "washed" backlighting on the SP

100 dollars is way way too much. If they cut that in half, they might get me to buy one at some point. But even then I'd have to see one, hold it, see if my eyes can take it the miniscule screen. My hands cramp up after an hour on the SP, so I can't imagine this. I'd also be afraid of scratching the screen. The SP and DS are nice because I can throw it in my pocket or backpack, and not worry about it. I think the Micro and SP should be similarly priced. It's just two different flavors of the same system. I mean after all the PSTwo (slim) didn't cost more than the old chunky PS2.

i heard that it's button layout was better than the sp b/c it is spread out wider than the sp sicne there is a screen b/t the dpad and the buttons on the micro...

i might get one when the price drops, but i might get a DS instead...maybe they'll make new DS's with better backlighting in the future
