[Overlord Nadrian]

You made is sound like you just bought it. when it came out long ago.

Well, that's because he did buy it only now.

Must of been EXPENSIVE

Great system for GBA only, unless you like to play RPG's and need to read text on the screen. Then you're SOL.

 

[Sc4rFac3d]

Best version of the gameboy ever, still play it more than once every week

 

[GreatWisdom]

When this came out i really wanted one but i never had any money to buy one and my parents wouldnt buy me one because they bought me a gba.
Then i completely forgot about it until now

I bought a SuperCard Mini just for my GBA Micro, now it's the smallest NES in the world. GBA roms require patching, and some are a little glitchy, but this combo is great. Good review, I love the Micro.

Man, I miss my Micro. Back in the summer of '08 the local Walmart had two or three dozen units left and they were selling 'em at $30 a pop. If I'd stocked up on them I could've made a pretty penny, that was right around the time they were getting really hard to find, and even the used system prices were near $40. I'm almost wishing I hadn't sold mine, but by the time I did I'd lost my last GBA-sized flashcart anyways.

[tj_cool]

I wanted to get one some time ago
But I got a DS Lite instead

Nice review there. But I dont play GBA anymore so I pass this product. It is old after all

 

[FlameTakuya]

Got one used some time ago, and yes, it's very comfortable. The screen was larger than I expected so I was rather happy, and its a lovely gaming device to take around!

 

[DarkArmadillo]

Original GBA ftw.
I cant see how you can play with this tiny thing.

The GameBoy Micro was in fact compatible with the wireless adapter because Nintendo made one specifically for it. (or you could just build an adapter and use the regular one ghetto-style)

 

[awssk8er]

I always kind of wanted one, but there was no point because I had a DS when it was released.

Also, I haven't really played GBA games since the DS came out. If it had GB/GBC compatibility, and was like $30, I would probably get one just to have.

Edit:

HAHAHA! I just saw this when I Google'd to see how much they were now!

I really want this kind of gameboy, since i only have the original gameboy advanced. but im still happy with that! ^^

Love the GB Micro. Play it nearly every day. Got the EZ-IV cart with it. Works great. I bought mine 2 years ago off ebay with 4 games for the low price of $29. Then bought another one last month for $30. More games, two carrying cases, and original box. Awesome system.

 

[spruced]

I got one of these last fall from gamestop, used maybe once, with the awesome little case for 20 bucks. I had always wanted one, but had a SP and didn't see myself wasting the money on a new one when they came out. I play mine all the time and it's great for study halls in school, where it's easy to hide.

My only complaint is that the little case picks up dust really fast, and then I find myself spending time picking off all the little dust thingys because I'm a bit ocd about those kind of things.

 

[Another World]

they retailed at 99 bucks and i got my brand-new sealed 20th anv. edition for $65 with shipping off eBay about 2 years ago. i'm happy and it was money well spent. before i had a dingoo a320 the gb micro was my exclusive travel system. i use to carry my ds all over the place but i had a few issues with dust in the shoulder buttons. one time it took me about 2hrs to get the dust blown out of the left shoulder area, after that i stopped taking my ds around with me. i started to just leave the gb micro in the bathroom after egm stopped publishing, you know you got to have something to do while on the throne! to be honest if i wasn't into all the gba homebrew i probably would not have picked one up. i could not see myself carrying the gb micro and 20+ carts around with me all the time. but with the combination of a flash kit, it really is a treat to own and play.

i just wish someone still sold the m3 lite new.

A real piece of work, that Game Boy Micro.

It's kind of a bummer with all the incompatabilities, but, well, now that I think about it, it would detract from the emphasis on portability.

As always, top-notch review, Another World!
