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.

Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy.

Big gaming in a small package

Cons Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.

I love my pink pearl GBA!  My husband got it for me for Christmas.  The screen really is brighter than on other GBASPs because it's completely back lit instead of having a light kinda shine in from the top creating this tent of light.  It's super bright and really enhances the...
