    I got a Gameboy Micro today. I saw one for the first time last week and thought that it looked cool. I am have bought couple of the Mario Advance games and Zelda: Link to the Past cheap on eBay. Looking forward to playing them.

    I know it has a tiny screen but I have a long flight coming up in the next few weeks and it should keep me entertained. (I wonder what the battery is like on this one)

    Anyone else have a Gameboy Micro?

    I love mine. Have one of those special edition Famicom versions.

    The screen is small but crystal clear. Great little machine. I use a flash card in it that takes Mini sds ;)

    Lovely bright screen, smaller than SP but much easier to see and a great D-pad. I have a green, blue and pink one. Brilliant little machine. I also own a "super"card which uses mini SD.

    I get about 4 hours out of the micro I actually use, supposedly 8 hours on minimum brightness/sound is achievable out of the box.

    I've been tempted to get one for years, they look amazing. I only recall ever actually seeing one IRL once, the size amazed me!

    Currently have 3 game boy micros, including one of the famicom ones. Went on a 60 mile round trip in Florida last simmer to pick it up in a remote gamestop location, was worth it though, was brand new and still sealed in the box :)

    love the size of them, great for travelling. Last time I was on the plane one of the attendents took an interest, thought it must be a brand new gadget seeing as it was so small and compact :) shame it had such a short commercial lifespan, the DS really killed it

    They look interesting but its hard for it to compete with the DS. especially with mine loaded with games on the R4DS card. Great for long flights. I have a long flight in few months and the first pripority for flights is have the DS charged completely.
