Nintendo Game Boy Micro User reviews

By Randolph Ramsay on 19/12/2005

More Nintendo reviews , RRP: AU$150.00

The good:

  • Ultra portable, compact and light
  • Great LCD screen produces bright and vivid images
  • Long battery life
  • Changeable faceplates

The bad:

  • Only AU$30 cheaper than the Nintendo DS
  • Screen is small
  • Not for big hands
  • Only plays Game Boy Advance cartridges

The bottomline:

Nintendo has created another Game Boy winner, but perhaps its biggest flaw lies not in its hardware, but with its price. At AU$150, the Micro is only AU$30 cheaper than the Nintendo DS, which boasts more advanced hardware and can also play Game Boy Advance cartridges.

yes

I think this will beat the comp. b/c it is very compatable and lightweight. even though there is three gameboy advance, I think this is the best. But the ds is the best portable gaming system. But this coms in second.

Nintendo On Top

Nintendo has done it again, they have re-invented the gameboy. I really do believe that they are not milkng the console, i believe they are indeed broading the player horizon for the handheld market. The new design will be in my pocket the day it comes out, and i am looking foward to only plopping down 50-60 bucks. The only thing i ask of is a mp3 function built in. That would sell the system itself. Please nintendo hear this one mans request.
