Hey, the GBA has turned into a cash cow! Wait, you say it already was? No Matter.

Introducing version 3 of the Game Boy Advance, the Game Boy Micro.

That thing does look really cool, but once again, I'd like to see Nintendo come out with a bit of a bigger bang than another re-make of something we already have.

They have to milk the hardware since they dont have a ton of games to milk.

I hope this Nintendo system does really will. The controller could make or break the system. I think the last 2 controllers have sucked.

It is pretty cool, but I'm probably not going to get it.  Mostly due to lack of funds.

It's sad the measurments of the thing aren't known, because it doesn't look very comfortable to hold for a longer time. Small looks cool and all, but I rather have something with a little bit more grip.

Way too small to be comfortable for a longer period. Nice gimmick though. How thick is it?

Depending on the price of this thing when it's released I might get one.  Of course I still haven't bought an SP yet, so I could just be talking out of my ass.

It is going to be backlit, but they haven't announced a price yet.  Hopefully it will be lower than $100.

They announced today that this will probably come out sometime between late summer and fall.  Knowing Nintendo, I'm counting on fall.

I don't intend on buying one, but it does look nice. But, I think the SP is very much satisfactory, and it even fits in my pocket, just like the Micro!
