I'm obsessed with mine. Combine it with an EZ Flash cart with sleep mode and you can sneak in so many quick play sessions throughout your day.

I got mine when I was in grade 11. Loved it for RPG’s. Still have it to this day and it’s a great little device that holds up. It’s wild that it’s going for so much nowadays.

Not going to lie this is a hard flex in retro handheld gaming. Especially with your metallic blue face plate looks so premium and sleek.

It's a mixed bag with this one, I appreciate that it's the most compact version of the GBA, but also, it's the most compromised. No backward compatibility is a massive drawback. All it really has going for it is its display, which is a bit more crisp than the GBA SP, maybe even a tad brighter than even the AGS-101, but it's also way more desaturated, which personally, doesn't look as good. The SP's AGS-101 display really pops with those vibrant colors which lends itself really well to pixel art. The SP is honestly the definitive version, all it lacks is an aux port, but it's basically perfect. The clamshell design is so iconic and serves a great practical purpose of protecting the screen which would otherwise be very easy to scratch. It's fully backward compatible, has a great battery life, it's very comfortable to hold and use, even for long periods.

It looks great and seems super convenient, but the SP seems to have been the peak of Gameboy design.
@AstroLoops6920 күн бұрын
I agree with you but no headphone jack hurts. It’s on the Advanced and Micro but not the SP, still makes me upset.

Gameboy Micro was never worth it in my eyes, it is a collectors item with limited capabilities. It's definitely sleek and I love how it looks, but practically I find it difficult to justify paying more than $80-100 for a console like it, which is a price hard to find in today's retro market.

Nice little tech piece I had no clue even existed 💯 definitely would have loved one as a kid!
@aiodensghost86453 ай бұрын
Get a GBA SP instead. Youll be able to also play GB/GBC games on the SP unlike a Micro.
@undeadgaming4202 ай бұрын
Or you can get a gba multicart with GB/GBC games on it

Glad to see the Game Boy Micro getting the love it deserves after not getting it at the time but damn these things got expensive! I'm not letting mine go anytime soon. Stick a flashcart in it and it plays GB/GBC games and it's a great little console to throw (gently) in a bag for a trip. Cool video and that's a gorgeous face plate.

I still use mine at work, it is the definition of “pocketable” and feels great. Best part is that the screen is smaller than the GBA game cartridge and looks CWISPY

I got mine for 170$ last fall, right before the current inflation I don't regret it ❤

i'd say if you can get ur hands on a ds lite you should get one of those, especially when they have a broken top screen but work fine other than that, because you can mod them into a gameboy macro. combining that with a omega flash card and putting the ds lite shell on that flash card (so that the card will sit flush in the ds lite) will basically get you a bigger gameboy micro with every gba game you could ever want and a sleek design. and in the end you will spend less than on a gameboy micro. ofc the advance sp ags-101 is also a very solid choice, being a little more expensive than the mod i was talking about combined with that particular flashcard. also you need some soldering skills for the gameboy macro mod, but there are tons of videos on that topic, i recommend macho nachos video on the gameboy macro for anyone interested.

No because it isn't backwards compatible with gameboy color and gameboy games like the original gba and gba sp.

I was working at a game store when these came out. They sucked, besides the high quality screen, and nobody wanted them. That’s why they were dropped so fast and put on clearance.

@Velikan-qb3op4 ай бұрын
I personally hated it, the screen was awful, playing action games like Metroid or MegaMan zero, was painful... I exchange it for a GBA sp instead and problem solved. Not recomendable.
@EdensukoV2 ай бұрын
I played and finished Mega Man Zero in mine, ni problems. To me it is more comfortable to hold than the SP, and it had a headphone jack.
