The Game Boy micro
The Game Boy micro (Note the small 'm' without capatlization) is a redesign of the Game Boy Advance. It features the same technology, just a new design. Nintendo claims that despite the screens small size, it is the brightest and clearest screen they have put on any handheld. According to Reginald Fils-Aime, it is designed for "the image conscious gamer". It was revealed at E3 2005. Unlike its advanced brethren, Micro lacks the ability to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games and it will not be able to use a link cable for multiplayer without a special adaptor.
The Game Boy micro will launch in Japan on September 13th for 12,000 yen (coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series), North America on October 2nd for $99.99, and in Europe on November 4th for £69.
Design and specs
The unit itself is slightly smaller than an iPod mini. In North America the micro will be available in two colors, each including two interchangeable faceplates for gamers who want to customize it (these being silver with "Ammonite" and "Ladybug" faceplates and black with "flame" and "Cammouflage" faceplates). while Europe will be receiving it in four colors: Silver, Green, Blue, and Pink. Japan once again kicks the asses of other regions in the colors department, along with the American Black and Silver colors and the European Blue, Japan will get a Purple micro and a micro resembling a controller for the Famicom (the Japanese version of the NES).
