Manufacturer's Description
The sporty, green Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside today's hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models, complete with standard face controls and gleaming shoulder and Start/Select buttons that literally shine.

With Game Boy Micro, everyone plays with style. A removable face plate gives owners the option to buy replacements to customize the look of their systems again and again with new colours and designs. Most notably, its 2-inch backlit screen shines with incredible power, rendering games in startling clarity with fantastic colours on the best Game Boy screen ever. For the first time, users can adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor lights or outdoor sunshine.

Customer Reviews

bite-size
Portable gaming devices usually overburden a pocket, leaving a visible bulge and no room for other items. Gameboy Micro brings hundreds of GBA favourites into the same size and weight category that used to belong to monochrome keychain games. The inherent downside of a miniature handheld is that no one really wants to play using miniature buttons, nor on a 2-inch screen. Actually playing the Gameboy Micro, though, proves that its dimensions are (barely) large enough to not get in the way of enjoyment. The GBA game library happens to include many of the best Nintendo home games from the 80s and 90s. Nothing says progress more than playing on a diminutive device the same games that, twelve or so years ago, required a cutting-edge box of technology to be plugged into your television.
