This is an article i found on nintendo.com and the Gameboy Micro will be released Autumn this year i have some pictures at the bottom

Revealed for the first time at Nintendo's pre-E3 press conference, the Game Boy Micro is the smallest and sleekest Game Boy product Nintendo has ever created. If you thought the Game Boy Advance SP was compact and portable, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Game Boy Micro is thinner than a cell phone and small enough to fit in the tightest pocket your wardrobe has to offer. Recently revealed facts include:


Game Boy Micro measures a mere four inches wide, two inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside today’s hippest technological gadgets.
It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models.
A removable face plate gives you the option to buy replacements to customize the look of your system with new colors and designs.
Game Boy Micro's two-inch backlit screen shines with incredible power, rendering games in startling clarity with fantastic colors on the best Game Boy screen ever. For the first time, you can adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor lights or outdoor sunshine.

Wow. My freind just told me today about that. WEIRD!

It wa sat the E3 confrence also ther was the biggest hit of the convention the legend of zelda the twilight princess (link is a werewolf)

i wanna know if it has better or worse graphics than the ds

there is no smiley to show how i feel right now.
....
holy ****...thats a tiny gameboy...0_0

i wanna know if it has better or worse graphics than the ds

I think it will just be bigger. The games themselves supply how many picels there are.

the resolution must be good since its so small

Wow, you're full of crap arn't ya? Only individuals that are "in the industry" can get entrance into E3, its not open to the general public. Nice try.

And also, anyone that has been keeping up with the new Zelda would have already know abot him turning into a wolf before E3 ever even set itself up.

i know some who got in. he won sumting from 1up

I think he said "It was at .." and not "I was at .."

ah, true dat john.. my bad guess who i am

I guess the micro would be the 3rd generation Gameboy Advance, right? Nintendo seems to be very good at making compact gaming devices. It's pretty amazing what they're able to cram into such a small space.

ah, true dat john.. my bad guess who i am

Oh.. and.. rumour has it that being "part of the industry" isn't as hard as they make it sound. Peopel working as stock boys at EB got to go. Even people with cheezy geocities site about gaming. I think it's just to stop people off the street, who have nothing better to do, from coming to E3 and taking up a lot of valuable space.

well, i used to have a website devoted to gta, should i be lett in too? lol

The Micro is amazing i can't wait for the next gameboy (see how much better nintendo is at handhelds than sony)

the new zelda tp is coming our for the ds

That will be so kewl i think that they will release a few of Gamcube's best games on Micro because if it was popular on the console it will proberly be popular for handheld 2

awesome, a new nintendo gimick(i dunno how to spell that, but nintendo sure does). i used to be a big fan of nintendo, but not it just seems like they are drowing, but flailing around for that one last breath. but now i can finaly jam my fingers up playing my sub-par gba games worse than ever and on a smaller screen that anyone could ever immagine. just what ive always wanted. im not buying this. they need to make a hand held with good graphics and button layout, but get rid of the gimmicks. basically make a psp that doesnt suck. im sure this will sell great in japan, they love small stuff.

THis thing will have good Graphics and will proberly have an add on for a bigger screen

THis thing will have good Graphics and will proberly have an add on for a bigger screen

the article said it will ahve the same processing power and play teh same games as a gba. sorry, all it is is a small gba. next thing ya know, they will ahve a gameboy micro sp. we are getting one step closer to japanization in the americas. what happened to the bigger is better mentality? isnt that what being american is really about? come on, lets make a ****ing huge portable with some actual processing power. and as for an add on for a larger thing, thats just a few more dollars you ahve to give to nintendo so they can keep dreaming up htis bull****. nintendo used to rock.

Yank acting like your the only country on earth i am australian and nintendo still does rock

? when out and how much please and thank you

y is it that nintendo is the only company to have made a consecutive sieries of portable game players that r worth buying?
but anyway i rekon dat it is a really great console and i agree wit Mario when where and how much?

It will be released at a low orice like the revolution because nintendo wants to make things cheaper for the next generation of gaming consoles and handhelds

there is no point in this game boy micro

the only problem i see with the micro is the screen size. The entire thing is only 2 by 4. which dosent leave much room for a screen. Its probably 1.5in by 2in mabye. so it might be a little bit of a pain. other than that though i think its awsome.

thats why I say:theres no piont

Id jus prefer not to get nearcited from trying to play the thing. Probly gonna stick with DS and PSP

Id jus prefer not to get nearcited from trying to play the thing. Probly gonna stick with DS and PSPso am I :happy:

I think that Nintendo should relese it in japan they love small stuff and all over asia and mayb the US they seem to buy everthing

I wish they had a pic with a comparison like a hand or something, it's hard to tell how small it really is.

I only have a few words to say about the Game Boy Micro, "So....small -_-"

This is not suppose to be the next big nintendo handheld better then ds. its just for gba games. For gamers who like things small and stylish. It can not play ds games.

the new zelda tp is coming our for the ds

GAME BOY MICRO!!!
http://media.nintendo-europe.com/compel/images/fl9jk6B-eqEFxwumViELRL6D3T9RM7BF.jpg

LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2005 – 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.

The sporty, silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside today’s hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models, complete with standard face controls and gleaming shoulder and Start/Select buttons that literally shine.

With Game Boy Micro, everyone plays with style. A removable face plate gives owners the option to buy replacements to customize the look of their systems again and again with new colours and designs. Most notably, its 2-inch backlit screen shines with incredible power, rendering games in startling clarity with fantastic colours on the best Game Boy screen ever. For the first time, users can adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor lights or outdoor sunshine.

"We’re making the gorgeous Game Boy Micro for image-conscious folks who love video games, the ones who want the look of their system to be as cool as the games they play on it,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Because of its diminutive size and industrial-hip look, Game Boy Micro immediately identifies the person playing it as a trendsetter with discriminating style."

Game Boy Micro represents the latest evolution in the image of the Game Boy Advance line, but it is not a successor to any current system. Game Boy Micro will be released in the second half of this year. The system comes with a built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and supports standard headphones.

The Game Boy Advance line remains tied for the most popular video game system of this generation. More than 28 million units have sold in the United States, yet Game Boy Advance launched a full eight months after PlayStation 2. Video game fans clearly appreciate great game play and portability. Nearly 700 games are now available for Game Boy Advance.

Brilliant marketing campaign....Make a product 5x bigger than is has to be, then release it while scaling it down slowly. This is about how big the original should have been, and don't say 'they didn't have the technology'. Yes they did, they could have made this years ago.

is this the one thats ment to be "girl friendly" wtf its like saying "girls cant use other games consoles so lets make one that they can use" such a stupid idea. But apart from that it looks good.

Isn't it though?

I don't have any nintendo systems, they are all too expensive.

Right on jessy, right on.

Is this to be classified as better than the PSP?

I don't have any nintendo systems, they are all too expensive.
Nintendo has the cheapest game systems of all.

Still, I don't have money.

Nintendo systems might be the cheapest but they release a rehash every 6 months.... Atleast they aren't doing a Microsoft and making you pay $150 for the system but you don't get the screen or buttons, but if you pay $300 then you get them.

How am I going to, legally, get my hands on $150???

...mow lawns for a few weeks.

work for your parents, then make them get it for you.

The game boy micro is just another game boy advance model. I wonder if they're going to make the "Game boy flea".:holiday:

doubt it.

aw it's so cute and tiny.

Is this to be classified as better than the PSP?
no way, the psp is much better

It's just a Gameboy Advanced with a bigger screen and smaller gamebody.

and a light,
the origanl advanced dident have a light.

SP had a light.

ok so- this things supposed to be utterly amazing... small and junk... but heres my point!! Im so sick of new counsils for the same games! its like buying every single new computer to get to this forum! in my opinon, they should save the designs and such, and release it once it has a new generation of GAMES to go with it. THATS the reason why i didnt get the SP once it came out. I went for the DS, which has alot more than cool games... its got a chat room... (which will hopefully go online with animal crossing DS)...

anyways, i just think its a waste of money and time to make SP that doesnt fold.

I didnt want SP had no need for it i got DS chat rooms dont do nothing for u i mean come on..They have to be like how close to u? And the stupid download play dosent wropk i tryed with another ds. DS does need to go online or something its boring in my opinion.

Ok hot sause....THe downlaod button i not compatable yet they are working on it....and the chat rooms you can be about 500 meters away from what I heard. About 2/7 of a mile

You also forgot to mention that the "chatroom" has a 20 foot range. That’s great! So instead of actually walking the 20 feet to go talk to them, you can pay 150$ to talk to them wirelessly with your stylus!

talking 'manually' generally is wireless....

Release date: November 5th 2005 UK
Price: £69

Price: £69
How much is that in $$?

arond $150 or somthing, it's goint to cost more the longer you wait, becouse if your a stock trader (or in my dad's case, a temp stock trader)
then you will know that the value of the doler is only worth around $0.67
or somthing this was from days ago, so i's not going to be exzact.

didnt they make a gameboy color awhile back specified for girls?
