Reviews of the Nintendo Game Boy Micro (Silver)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Pocket-friendly small size; bright, brilliant screen; decent battery life; standard headphone jack; huge library of games; swappable faceplates provide screen protection.
The Bad: Game Boy titles are looking old vs. more advanced competition; body and screen size may be just too small for some; not compatible with older GBA accessories and older Game Boy games; the more advanced and equally bright DS Lite--which can play all of the Micro's games--can be had for an additional $30.
The Bottom Line: Nintendo's latest Game Boy has an interesting design but doesn't offer anything you can't find in the company's other portables.
