The Game Boy Micro is a leap forward in portable gaming. In this tiny, cell-phone sized body you have the same technology that powers the popular Game Boy Advance SP. Shorter, thinner and lighter than an SP, it plays all the SP titles on the market. No more need to buy special game cases -- just shove it in your pocket or the cell phone pocket in your backpack when you're done. If you'd like the look of your system to be as cool as thegames you play on it, the new Game Boy Micro is for you. Supports standard headphones Dimensions(WxLxD) - 4 x 2 x 7/10 Color - Black

Summary: Very underrated console!
Comment: Although it released at the end of the Game Boy's lifespan at the rise of the DS and DS Lite, this little system's still perfect for playing Game Boy Advance games on the go in an incredibly portable size. There are a few downsides to this, though: although it comes with customizable faceplates, the faceplates are very easy to break. Also, this device cannot play any of the older Game Boy titles, so keep that in mind if you love to play the older Game Boy games.
Overall, it's an underrated console... but it's to be expected, coming so far into the GBA's lifespan. I would certainly reccomend this to everyone who just wants to play GBA games on the go.

Summary: Six year old loves the gameboy
Comment: I bought this for my six year old daughter who got really tired of her v-smile. She loved to play with her v-smile until she mastered the games. V-smile does not make cartridges for children over 7-8 year olds and she is passed this level. I did not want to buy a brand new gameboy because of her age and buying a used one work out very well for the price. Not only that; she loves it! Only downfall is, I wish that the screen was a bit larger. Worried about her eyes.

Summary: This Handheld changes everything
Comment: When I heard about this handheld I was very skepticall.
But when I got it my life changed.
When I am in the bank waiting for my turn, when I am at the subway, when I am at the movies.
Waiting now it is very fun.
I've had videogames for game boy advance since 2001, now I have about 30 games in storage, and with the game boy micro these games are alive again.
The memories of the good ol'days are back also.
I can't describe just how happy I am with this Game Boy Micro.

Summary: Nice
Comment: This is my first foray back into handheld platforms. Too bad I got it within the past twelve months and they are discontinuing the GBA games. This is a good pocket-sized system though. If you are looking to maybe "downsize" your GBA, pick this up. The only bummer is you can't plug it into your Gamecube. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Summary: cell-phone inspired Game Boy
Comment: Nintendo has had tremendous success over the last 18 or so years with the Gameboy franchise. The gaming public has seen many versions of the Gameboy released during this period, and once again Nintendo has put out yet another winner in this product line.
The Gameboy Micro is simply a mini version of the Gameboy Advance. Unlike the SP version, this one does not "flip" open to reveal the screen. When they named it the "Micro" they hit the nail squarely on the head. From what I have read, Nintendo was aiming to make the Gameboy a trendy "tech" item, one that would mirror the small design of today's mobile phone market. They pulled this off; the Micro is about the size of a cell phone. It is very sleek in design but also very simple. Nothing is wasted; you have your basic command buttons and power/volume switches, and a plug-in for headphones. That is about it aside from the plug-in for the charger.
The Micro will play all GBA games but not Gameboy Color games.
The screen clarity is a perfect 10. Games look amazing on this little guy, and the colors jump right off the screen. In my opinion this a feature that is worth the price of the Micro alone. Also, the battery life is extrememly long.
From what I can tell, the most popular version of the Gameboy has been the SP. As a result, many SP owners will be (rightfully) skeptical of the need to purchase a Micro since it is not an upgrade in terms of the games it plays. It is still, at the end of the day, a GBA. If you are looking for the best graphics then I would buy a DS Lite.
My only complaint is that sometimes the system feels almost TOO small in my hands. Other than that, I would recommend this one to any Gameboy fan. Very simple, excellent quality, and a HUGE library of games to choose from.
