Gameboy Micro

[Kamen]

Sorry about the Japanese language for members that don't know it but it's all I can find about the Gameboy Micro and I though I'd share :D
I'll try to find out more info on it, but for now click here (http://www.mainichi-msn.co.jp/it/game/news/20050518org00m300004000c.html)

um i find that to be absolutely retarded... the screen is like the size of your thumb, wtf is the point if you cant see what you're playing, let alone accurately hit the tiny controllers :thumbsdow

its great that things are getting smaller, but thats just stupid. along with your gameboy your gonna need laser surgury to correct your vision after staring at that little screen for to long.

Hahaha, it's nice to see that the Japanese make shitty, useless electronics from time to time....that design team is gonna be fired.

[Despair*]

^^^ Yeah, thats one gameboy model they could do without. The smaller they get the more functionality they will start to lose. There is some more info on Ign but the pictures there of it actually look a bit bigger than the pics posted on this japanese site.

Wow that looks ALOT bigger than the one I posted. Thanks!

I was talking to my gf about it, she's Japanese (just for reference) and she believes this is targetted towards kids instead of 'serious gamers'.
I think it's neat, but too damn small for me to care about. A kid however...

[Xtrema]

^meh so the kids can lose them quicker.

[Kamen]

I don't think kids in Japan are like that....heh

[GQBalla]

looks pretty neat lol the guy in picture one must have had enormous hands

[BumpinTalon]

really, Nintendo pisses me off with all these stupid Gameboys they put out. I can't believe they make money off these things when they release a new one every year, especially when they are as stupid as this Micro, the SP, the Advance, and actually every Gameboy to come out since the Gameboy Color.
the Gameboy is so out-done in terms of power by the PSP, I dont' even know why Nintendo bothers anymore.

[Kamen]

Ah but not everyone can afford a PSP ;)
I can see your argument as being valid, but this thing probably won't even make it out of Japan, so meh let them have their little fetish...

Size equivalent of Ipod mini but slightly thicker.

[SuPhistiKatEd]

Not bad...but too little, too late for Nintendo. The PSP has the market by the balls. For me it's a little on the small side. The screen is very tiny...can't even see or enjoy the game.

yeah i think your eyes would hurt after 10 min:thumbsdow

[robpark]

Hahaha, way to go Nintendo, yet another piece of crap!:barf:

[BokCh0y]
