Hardware \ Gameboy Micro

salsasero says:

I know it did not sell well since it was released during the time of the DS Phat.

However, did anyone purchase one and used the micro to play games and likes it?

I bought one even after I bought a DS Lite. I use it with a Flash Cart to play classic NES games on the go.

I got mine from ebay last month and love it. Almost finish Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; next game is going to be Metroid Fusion.

Although the size is small but I never find it too difficult to hold or too tiring when looking at the small screen. Even better if you can find one of those old 256Mbit Flash cart so you can play NES Super Mario Brothers on the go like desi said.

I think Desi has made good use of the Micro.

Apart from NES games, the Gameboy Advance games work on the DS. The original intention was for casual gamers to have a micro and when they had time, then they would whip it out and play.

However, the touch generation games have made the DS lite the casual gamers of choice.

The DS Lite is small but too big for a pocket.

I am thinking of purchasing a Gameboy Micro Final Fantasy IV Limited Edition Box set (Japan Version). It's $A175. I like how the covers can be replaced.

However, I lay a small number of GBA games. The last one was Mario Pinball. Great game.

I preffer the GBA SP over the micro.I wish the SP had removable skins that would make it even better.

Playing on a micro is very odd though because of the bottom positions for me.
Playing on my DS Phat is very orquid.

Orquid, huh?

Do you have, like small hands, so it doesn't matter that your fingers wrap over each other on a GBA SP? The only thing I don't like about the Micro is the smaller screen. It could easily have been a pretty small size with the usual sized screen, and I wouldn't mind sacrificing a bit of battery life for it. At least they made it sharper.

If I had to go through my Gameboy Advance, then I would prefer the micro over the SP.

Well i like the Idea of the Gameboy Micro Changing Faceplates but i never really did bother buying it afterall the Sp kicked its Arse

salsasero says:

Yes - the SP came out before the micro and hence people moved on from the original Gameboy Advance to the SP and then to the DS and avoiding the micro.
