Game Boy Micro

[Block Builder]

Because of my move to the DSi, I have been unable to play GBA games. Nintendo dissapointed me a little when they didn't release any NES, SNES, or even GBA games on the DSi shop, and so I didn't know what to do. I already carried my DSi everywhere, so I needed something small that wouldn't get in my way. So...

I found the Game Boy Micro. It looked small, lovey, and great for playing GBA games. The website also had the nicest intro for any Nintendo product ever. It was perfect, except that it cost $90 dollars. $90! So, I'm not sure if I should get it. It looks cool, but I could sell my DSi and go back to the lite if I wanted to spend that much on such a limited device. Should I get the micro?

Get one.  The faceplates are cool, too.

Although I find it annoying to carry 2 handhelds around.

I have one. The screen is small, but very bright and crisp. Did you try looking for any used ones?

[Caution]

It looks cool. My friend had one and at first I thought it was one of those cheesy games you get in Happy Meals.

Alright, so it's just a normal gameboy just smaller?
They didn't even do anything with the hardware? Or atleast add the ability to watch videos or listen to music?

If this is the case then it's just a waste of money, in my opinion. Might aswell get a PSP or DS.
(Note: I've never been a fan of gameboys, although I've owned 2 of them)

Wait, how small is it, exactly?  Based on the images it looks only slightly larger than the cartridges.
Also: Can it be charged?

No, you need to buy a new one when the battery dies.

Oh ha ha.

So I assume it takes 2 AAs like the old GBA?

How long does it last?

It's a charging type thing, I think.

It uses a charger.

So, I still need to throw it away every time the battery dies?

I've been wanting to get one of these, pissed I can't play some of me games :(

I remember I got the special edition black game boy advance when it came out. Dunno where I put it.

[Caution]

I remember having my first Game Boy. It was a yellow Color. I think I found it again and the original batteries were still alive but the games weren't found.
