well they were a "limited" edition (and i use that term loosely) but they arent hard to find, they run $30.00+ depending on which version you get.

nope, no GB/GBC support too small for the chip to fit supposedly. (although you can run GB/GBC roms on a flash card and they will play.)

no touch screen, think NES controller sized GBA. (actually a bit smaller than a NES controller) oh and it has backlight so no worries on lighting.

well i like mine because i got a clip on belt case and a flash card with several games loaded so i only have to carry one cart. bottom line if your looking for something small, lightweight, & extremely portable then yes its worth the buy if you find one for under 40$ and you can find flash cards pretty cheap on DX. i cant count the times mine has saved me from extreme boredom.

music yes internet no, but you have to buy a mp3 flash card to do it and you should invest in headphones because that tiny speaker just wont cut it.

i saw one on amazon for 30$ i think i'll get it. are there any must have accessories? also, whats are a few good games?

#1 accessory, screen protector then leather clip case. really just depends on your taste, there are many games out there for GBA just look em up and find something to your liking

Wow... I just looked up the Gameboy Micro on wikipedia... I'm not impressed, sure it is smaller than the palm of your hand, but c'mon, who'd want to play something on the screen about the size of about 2 fingers?

Personally, I'd never get one, but if it suits your needs, more power to ya!

BTW, DS Lite RULES! :P That's the one with the touch screen, and if you get a chip, you can listen to music, watch videos, surf the net, and do some things we're not allowed to talk about here...

I wouldn't bother with one like Bam said, I don't know if they even make that many good GBA games any more, I'd go with the DS Lite if I were you, it's backward compatible with GBA games anyway.

i already have a DS lite. i just want one of these to keep my occupied

Why buy the micro when you already have another handheld machine that does what the micro can do plus more?

VAMP · 03-05-2008, 09:50 AM

Yeah, that'd be like me buying a PS1 to put next to my PS3.
