Hmmm...
Game Boy Micro
source: ign.com
It's a nice thing to show off, not to game. I still prefer the design of the classic gameboy over any other since it's nice and large, which at least fits my hands. Try grabbing a creditcard with 10 fingers, and keep it that way for an hour
I'll pass, thanx

ok, at least they're not dissing the DS already in favour of a new handheld. Good
Aside from that, some very interesting DS titles were announced that will continue to make me a happy gamer
..and the DS plays GBA games anyway
Nintendo's own info on it:

Nintendo also said the regular SP would stay available.
Think of it as a bonus?
Anyway, I already have a bulky device with 2 screens that plays GBA games as well, allthough for that particular device I'm more interested in its platform-specific games

Am I the only one who thinks the new GBM is the smartest thing Nintendo has done in a while?
Perhaps I'm from a different point of view than most of the members on this forum, so here goes an old fart's story. My last Gameboy was the GBC. People at work pointed and laughed at me whenever I pulled it out at lunch, even tho I knew deep down they really wanted to grab it from me
Then I switched to PocketPC. PDAs are basically the grown up's Gameboy. I knew countless adults who bought PDAs for gaming. But let's face it, these things aren't really designed for games. Most PDA games are boring to say the least. And emulators are always too slow or incompatible. The controls simply suck. In most cases you can only press one button at a time, and need to be really skillful to use the d-pad properly.
And then the cellphone. It's just worse than PDAs in almost everyway, except that you carry one less thing. That said, I have enjoyed many portable gaming hours with my Smartphone running a Pacman clone (SPVMan for those who know).
I have wanted every portable gaming console since the GBC. The GBA, GBASP, DS, PSP... but the same reason kept me from buying one: I wouldn't carry one with me. It would make too much of an effort to bring one, and it would look too, aham, immature to play in public.
The new Gameboy Micro solves that problem for the mature crowd. It's small and light enough to carry without hassle. It won't look any more childish than playing with your PDA or phone. And it plays well. I don't need accelerated 3D graphics, or touch screens, or the newest titles. I just need something petite and fun and comes out with me all the time (beside the girl). Thanks Nintendo, for truely bringing back the Game&Watch days.
