I have an SP and a DS and initially I though what is the point of this console... but then it began to grow on me. When I take my SP or DS with me I have it in a carry case with games, thereofere without a bag it isn't really very portable. Also I'm worried about scratches I get on the screen cos replacing them isn't easy, but with the Micro the face plates can be interchanged like a mobile phone... It really appeals to me cos it really will fit in your pocket and I can take it with me when I'm not taking a bag or where I usually couldn't take my other consoles.
Will just have to see if I can resist this November. |

It's a bit like the Panasonic Q of the Game Boy line - like the Q, which was just a shiny GameCube with DVD playback, you've no real reason to buy it, but you do kind of want one.
My Panasonic Q can play US/Jap games, If the game I want to play is in the Q, then I don't have to leave my seat. Also it plays DVDs from all regions. bengalibengali wrote: Can I see the source Media Create WhiteSaturn The DS sold 72,167 units: Stop trying to make the PSP look good. :) |

Yeah - I really want one (I love my GBA turn-based strategy games), but I really think they've pitched the price wrong for Britain.
At a nice round £50 it woulda been at that crucial "impulse-buy" price for me... but £70? Bit too pricy at the moment. Now, £70 with Play-Yan I would definitely get ;-) |

I reckon if the Micro launched at 50 quid bundled with Pokemon, it'd outsell Xbox 360 and PSP combined this Xmas. As it is... I'm not sure who it is aimed at. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't have a GBA by now? The hardware sales have always been great, but the software sales rather less than great.
The worst thing is, you can't even find any of the best GBA games on the high street now, it's all just cartoon and movie tie-ins. |

It was the Famicom edition that got me in the end. Lik-Sang offered me the chance to change my order to one of the other colours as they'd sold out of the Famicom version but I held out and found it's being shipped today. Mmm.

Colours: Green, pink, blue, silver
Launch Line Up: Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones Pokemon Emerald Dr. Mario/ Panel de Pon (or sumthin like that) Wario Ware Twisted (I think) Sales in Japan: 170,000 The most annoying thing though, is that the two best colours (Famicom and black) won't be out in Europe. |

FOR ALL THE *YAWN* and *OLD TECH* CROWD:
It's NOT FOR YOU! Get it through your thick skulls. You've already got a GBA/SP/DS. Why are you complaining? Let people who want it, buy it, and go on your merry way rather than bitching about it here. Get a life. Personally I'm off around SE Asia and a GBmicro will be with me while my DS goes home. It's perfect. Small, cheap, bright screen and great games. Sorted. |

Looks lovely, really, but there's absolutely no point to it. You'd be much better off getting a DS, since it can play GBA games anyway.
And lets be honest, there's sod all on the GBA anyway. |

Better than Halo 2 then?
Even tough I don't have the slightest interest in GBA games, I feel strangely tempted to buy one of these, quite odd really. Damn those japonese and their tiny inventions |

Back to Bezzy and Johnny Five: we need Bezzy's dad in charge of the Transformers movie, won't you say so?
You can start with my 93 Honda Civic hatch. Only two conditions: I should be able to drive it like before after your dad is done, and the robot should have a mild personality and listen to what I say. None of that KITT shit. |

Mine's arrived today - it's really nice. The screen is excellent and the small size doesn't matter as much as you'd think. I haven't played it for hours yet but it's quite comfortable to hold - more so than the SP, I think.

"I don't get Nintendo"
It's 'another' way of selling Pokemon to kids at Xmas. It's like, d'uh, obvious. And if we 'hardcore gamers' get some cool games on the back of the pokeplatform being super popular then \o/ yay! Right? |

It's the 5th piece of GBA hardware I buy from Nintendo, I just can't resist...
Anyway, this must be the coolest gaming device ever! So small and light, yet plays all the great GBA games. The screen is amazing, the real HD era has arrived. ;) Best home console of 2005: Nintendo DS Best portable of 2005: Gameboy Micro :) |
