Dammit you beat me to both of these Nintendo releases today, I jus came on to make a Gameboy micro thread.  Well here are the specs so far:

    *  Launch is slated for this Fall.
    * Silver in color for now, expect all sorts of rainbow-flavored variations.
    * Dimensions: 4 inches wide by 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches thick.
    * Weight: 2.8 ounces (80 paper clips’ worth of weight).
    * Processor: Same as GBA SP.
    * Form factor: “Gleaming shoulder and start/select buttons that literally shine”, removable and customizable face plate.
    * Screen: 2-inches, backlit and the “best Game Boy screen ever” with adjustable brightness controls for use indoors or outdoors.
    * Marketing angle: “We’re making the gorgeous Game Boy Micro for image-conscious folks who love video games, the ones who want the look of their system to be as cool as the games they play on it” according to George Harrison, Nintendo of America Sr. VP of marketing. It’s clear that they’re going after the kids who are too cool to carry around an obvious gaming device but who don’t mind carrying something that looks like the cell phone that they’re already carrying.
    * Accessories: built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery; supports standard headphones.
    * Software: the Game Boy Advance has nearly 700 titles available, all of which will be playable on the Game Boy Micro.

[Trauma-san]

^ No, you can't.  All you can play on it is Gameboy Advance games (the small ones).  Look for this thing to be cheeeeeaaaaap too.  Everybody's gonna get one.

i might jus pick up a  sp then,wont the sp screen b atleast an inch bigger or more?

[Trauma-san]

^ Yes. 

You've got basically, the DS is the flagship system (handheld) and has new DS games , 2 screens, and plays Gameboy Advance Games, too.

The Gameboy Advance SP, with a large backlit screen, and plays all the gameboy games, or

The Gameboy Micro.  Only plays Advance games, but the trick is it's really fucking tiny.  About the size of a pack of playing cards, and doesn't weigh hardly anything.  To compensate for the tiny screen, they gave it an adjustable backlight (like the Sega Game Gear) where you can turn the brightness up or down.  I think it's aimed at image conscious people who want something small and sleek, probbaly trying to get more of the female market.

I think its just gay and nintendo trying to get more money

[Suffice]

why would anyone buy one (new version of SP) when there's newer technology out (DS)?

[Da WCC Hopar!]

nintendo is just havin a hard time facin the facts that they are slowly fading away wit their wack ass consels and gay ass games so they keep tryin harder and harder to make somethin new


wats da point of releasin this shit wen u released the DS not even a year ago?

[Trauma-san]

why would anyone buy one (new version of SP) when there's newer technology out (DS)?

1. It'll be cheaper
2. It'll be smaller
3. It's aimed at an entirely different market.
