The original Game Boy Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game Boy Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy Micro system, quite simply the smallest and sleekest Game Boy product that Nintendo has ever created. It's thinner than a cell phone, as chic as an MP3 player and as fun as a Game Boy. In an instant it attracts attention and positions the image-conscious player as someone on the cutting edge of cool.

Cons Feels fragile, unprotected display, no Game Boy/GBC compatibility
Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy. Back then, nobody cared that they were playing games in only pea-soup green or that the thing drained batteries like nobody's business; they could take those games... Read full review »

Big gaming in a small package

46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, portable, customizeable, bright screen.
Cons Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't think of Nintendo's Game Boy Micro as a new system, so much as I think of it as an extension of their already popular Game Boy Advance line.

Pros Graphics, Large Screens, Bright, Durable, Fun Options
Cons Some Stylus Issues, No GB Advance capabilities
Recommended it? Yes

One of my fondest memories, and one of the few that doesn't evoke camping or other outdoor activities, is when I finally got the original NES Video Game System. A lot of my friends had it for awhile, so when I finally was able to plug it into our living room television, it was an exciting day... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Gaming on the Nintendo DSi XL is easier now with the bigger screens and the full size, easy-to-hold stylus.  Fully rendered 3D games like Electroplankton, Ninjatown and Disgaea DS really are a pleasure to play now because you can finally appreciate the graphics quality of these titles. ...
