Its compact design, interchangeable faceplates, and headphone support make it the ultimate stylish companion for on-the-go gaming enthusiasts and collectors alike. ## Description The all-new Game Boy micro sports a sleek vibe with portability and comfort, all in the palm of your hands. Switch between four faceplates to match your style and play any of the 700+ titles in the Game Boy Advance library. Features The Game Boy Micro is a leap forward in portable gaming. In this tiny, cell-phone sized body you have the same technology that powers the popular Game Boy Advance SP. Shorter, thinner and lighter than an SP, it plays all the SP titles on the market. No more need to buy special game cases -- just shove it in your pocket or the cell phone pocket in your backpack when you're done. If you'd like the look of your system to be as cool as thegames you play on it, the new Game Boy Micro is for you. Supports standard headphones Dimensions(WxLxD) - 4 x 2 x 7/10 Color - Black Review: Could be the perfect handheld game machine - In a world where handheld consoles keep getting more powerful, they sure don't keep getting smaller. The original Nintendo DS was pretty huge, hardly pocket sized. And even the DSi which I also own will fill a pocket and create a large, blocky outline. Sony's PSP offering is thinner but also longer and has that large, easily-scratched screen. When considering a handheld gaming device, one has to consider portability almost at the top of the list. The Micro was designed to perfectly fit that task. Sure, the Gameboy Advance is essentially a dead console considering companies no longer make new games for it, but there's still a trove of gems out there to be bought, and often very cheap on the used market. That leaves the machine itself. It's tiny, but still perfectly handy. Your thumbs might cramp up if you hold it a certain way, but if you keep them straight over the face of the machine it's not an issue. The screen is small, but the colors are so crisp and the screen so bright (adjustable to be dimmer if playing in a dark room) that you hardly notice unless you play it right next to someone playing a GBA game on a DS. The modular faceplate design is especially smart, because if you get more scratches on the screen than you'd like, simply remove the faceplate and put on another one. With this ability, your screen can stay essentially perfect indefinitely. It also lets you change the look of your machine. Perhaps: silver for dressy occasions, camouflage for outdoor activities and sports, red for playing at home... or just whichever color you like most. The Micro has a headphone jack for headphones (unlike the GBA SP), which is advisable because the tiny speaker holes can be easily covered with your thumb, and the speaker is honestly not very powerful. The on-off switch is recessed well into the bottom of the machine so as to not be hit accidentally unlike some GBA/DS iterations (I'm looking at you, original DS...) but the volume/brightness control is button-based, rather than operated with a slider, so volume/brightness can't be changed with the unit off. As for negative aspects of the Micro, the shoulder tabs are operated by buttons hidden underneath that are located closer to the middle of the unit than the corners, so one has to place their index fingers farther over the tops of the corners to reliably actuate them, unlike in units like the DSi where simply tapping on the very corners will suffice. This will often not be a problem, but it's worth noting. Overall the Gameboy Micro is an excellent choice for a handheld console, even in an age of technically superior ones. Finally a portable unit that I can actually take everywhere. If you plan on buying a handheld to be used primarily on-the-go, this might be the best option. If you almost always play handhelds at home anyway, you may as well go for a DS Lite, DSi XL (and in a few months when mroe games come out, the 3DS) or PSP. Review: Only GBA product to stand the test of time - When this device first came out, many claimed that it was overpriced and that the GBA SP was superior. However, in retrospect, it's now clear to see that the Micro truly stands the test of time. We're now in an era of the Nintendo 3DS and have moved past devices that are backwards compatibility with the GBA. So what is the best option to get your GBA fix with a stunning library of hundreds of great titles? In my opinion, there is no other option. It's tiny, highly portable, and has incredible battery life. The screen is ultra sharp and the button layout is simple and superb. Even better, due to this things relative unpopularity when it first came out, it's basically now a collector's item. My recommendation - get one while you still can. When you go to break out your old library of games; nothing is more please to play them on than this system. ## Features - Ultra-sharp backlit screen with adjustable brightness controls for use indoors or outdoors - Gleaming shoulder and start/select buttons - Plays all GBA games - Built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000AX224Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,718 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #53 in Game Boy Advance Consoles | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (253) | | Date First Available | August 22, 2005 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 12.6 ounces | | Item model number | VHNIN 045496716820 | | Manufacturer | Nintendo | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 6 x 2 inches; 12.6 ounces | | Release date | September 20, 2005 | | Type of item | Video Game | ## Images ![Game Boy Micro Black - Game Boy Advance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XpWLe+YoS.jpg) ![Game Boy Micro Black - Game Boy Advance - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Tvm+oni+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can the gamecube link cable work with this version of the gameboy advance?** A: You can make it do that.There is an instructional page on instructables website about how to make-a-gameboy-micro-to-gamecube-cable **Q: Does this come with the charger** A: Jason,The charger, book, and box are included. Please let me know if there is anything else I can answer. Have a great evening. **Q: does it have a back light?** A: Yes it does have ligth. **Q: Why is the price so high? Almost $500 is a lot to ask for a system that you can get much cheaper. Is there something I'm missing?** A: Hi Ryan, Yeah the systems are mint or pretty close to mint. There are scratched up (and dropped/nicked corner) systems available for less (with worse screens on them). So they are price-tiered based on condition mainly. And a $500 one would probably be mint in box, or sealed in box if there's a $500 on Amazon anywhere.

It is sturdy, the Famicom version has wonderful colors, the buttons are reponsive and feel like quality buttons, the rechargeable battery is great, the screen is bright and clear (no dark corners!), the ability to change the brightness is great, and also I thought since it was small that it might cramp my very large hands; I have had problems with that on GBA SPs before, but it has not so far been a problem! Also, it seems that IF the screen gets scratched I can just replace the faceplate which is great. :-) It came with a soft storage bag that is pretty sweet. Lastly though the one I got was a Japanese Version. I'm ok with that because everything works right here, but if anyone is a stickler ask the seller first.
