Nintendo Game Boy Micro

The Gameboy Micro was a release by Nintendo in late 2005. The console was a smaller, sleeker version of the Gameboy SP which in turn was an improvement on the Gameboy Advance. The console plays Gameboy Advance games; however it cannot play Gameboy Colour or original Gameboy games due to the lack of supporting hardware installed on the console. The graphics of the console are obviously limited by the cartridges that it can play, although the screen is superior to both the Gameboy Advance and the SP due to its higher screen resolution, durability of the screen as well as a much better backlight behind the screen to improve visibility in both dark conditions as ...  Read the complete review

Although the Game Boy Micro will never be competing with the PS3 graphically speaking, in the fun to money ratio, it certainly will be. I got mine for £15 online at Amazon, which i think is a absolutely fantastic deal. If you love the SNES games of old, this will be the console for you.

The gameboy micro is in my opinion a truly fantastic machine firstly i know every one thinks the screen is really small and perfetic to play all your rpg's like zelda with really small writing or even just mario bros for that matter. i assure you with this incredible back lit screen which is probably brighter than my ds lite screens makes it easy to see all the details and writting which is how those great nintendo titles are meant to be shown. And when i saw it on a tele add i new i had to have one even though i already have an sp and ds lite i had to have it.
