	IGN: Game Boy Micro
		There isn't a battery light, but the Micro does the SP and GBA one better on that -- the Select and Start buttons light up in two-tone colors, glowing at start-up (or while plugged in) with a blue light to show when there's enough charge and going red when the system is almost dead.
		This is one of the sort of hidden surprises with the GB Micro, and even though it's an advertised feature (the package even comes with three faceplates), it kind of catches you off-guard when you first pry at the plate and it comes off.
		The GB Micro isn't exactly the ideal way to enjoy Game Boy Advance games, but don't misjudge it by its size.

	Game Boy Micro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consumer conversion to proprietary accessories is an idea that is no different from any other Game Boy release, as buyers generally had to upgrade their accessories along with the new unit for the releases of Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
		At $99, the Game Boy Micro is the same price as a Nintendo GameCube (as of the 2005 holiday, with a free copy of Mario Party 7 and an extra controller), $20 more expensive than the backlit and original Game Boy Advance SP and $30 cheaper than the more functional and sophisticated Nintendo DS.
		The Game Boy Micro's backlit screen, which is superior to the Game Boy Advance SP's, has been praised for its visibility.

		However, it cannot play multiplayer GBA games or link to the Nintendo GameCube, and it is not backward-compatible at all with the original Game Boy or the Game Boy Color due to the lack of a Z80 processor.

		The Game Boy Advance, although a bit clunky, was touted for its Super Nintendo-like graphics but criticized for its lack of a backlight (can you recall Castlevania?).
		In spite of this small size, the button configuration on the Game Boy Micro is similar to the GBA SP, with the standard A and B buttons to on the right and two shoulder buttons at the top of the unit.
		Games are rendered in startling clarity, and the fantastic colors just pop off the screen.

	Game Boy Advance ::: Advanced Media Network - news, reviews, media
		Last week, AMN received their Game Boy Micro units [which released on September 13th in Japan], one of which contained the nearly sold-out 20th anniversary of Mario edition, the ever-elusive Famicom version.
		Sure, the Game Boy Micro’s screen is a tad smaller than that of the GBA SP, and certainly that of the Nintendo DS, but it’s hard to complain about a Nintendo portable that has been improved hardware-wise.
		Comparably, the Game Boy Micro (Famicom theme) may only be sold in limited quantities in Japan, but its initial faceplate that of the original Nintendo system’s controller design certainly brings a smile to collectors of gaming memorabilia.

	pocketnow.com - Reviews - Short Take: Nintendo's Game Boy Micro
		I was recently given a Game Boy Advance by a friend of mine, and while it was entertaining, the lack of a backlit screen made it difficult to use in most situations.
		Then I saw the Nintendo Game Boy Micro at a recent gaming convention and found myself being seduced back to the world of Mario.
		Playing platform games such as Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Micro was a bit harder with my large fingers, but most people I showed it to had no problems managing the device at all.

	Game Boy Micro Review - Game Boy Advance
		Game Boy Micro comes to gamers as the third and most expensive version of the Game Boy Advance.
		Everyone and their brother had to have an SP – it was the first front-lit Game Boy released in the United States and made playing those hard-to-see games fun again.
		Game Boy Micro eliminates the pain and suffering with flat (but raised) shoulder buttons that have a slight bounce to them.

		Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models, complete with standard face controls and gleaming shoulder and Start/Select buttons that literally shine.
		“We’re making the gorgeous Game Boy Micro for image-conscious folks who love video games, the ones who want the look of their system to be as cool as the games they play on it,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications.
		The Game Boy Advance line remains tied for the most popular video game system of this generation.

	Game Boy Micro Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP Video Game Review by AceGamez
		However, the Micro is in an awkward position sales-wise, as for a little less money you can enjoy the luxury of a larger screen with a new SP, or for a little more expense you can pick up Nintendo's latest innovation, the DS.
		The game pak is inserted in the bottom of the system off to the side, which looks a little awkward with larger cartridges like Yoshi's Topsy Turvy or Warioware.
		While the Game Boy Micro probably won't incite the next portable media craze, it will definitely satisfy any fashion conscious gamer's need to choose the right handheld to match their skin tones, while its tiny size makes it absolutely ideal for the gamer on the move.

	Nintendo Game Boy Micro review - infoSync World
		Small enough to clip on a key chain, the Game Boy Micro trumps the vast majority of mobile phones yet sports a truly brilliant 2-inch display which, alongside that of the DS, is Nintendo's best to date despite its 32K colour limitation.
		Granted, it's a bit small, but it still assumes the majority of the front of the device - also host to the venerable Game Boy setup consisting of a four-way controller as well as A and B buttons; shoulder buttons in chrome are also part of the line-up.
		Although quite good, the controller setup of the Game Boy Micro leaves a bit to be desired in the tactile department as there is no proper distinction to acknowledge when a button has been pressed.

	Nintendo takes on iPod and PSP with its Game Boy Micro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Game Boy Micro is the third re-release of the Game Boy Advance, originally launched in 2001.
		At less than 1-inch thin, the Game Boy Micro is the tiniest Game Boy ever and includes a minimalist edge that strays from the cute design of Pokemon characters.
		Finally, as Nintendo has sold over 28 million handheld gaming devices or close to double the number of iPods sold to date, they may do well even in the MP3 player market with its upcoming player, even if most customers are likely going to use them for playing games.

		As it stands, the Micro is nothing more than a redesigned Game Boy Advance SP reduced to a palm-sized rectangle akin in dimensions to a candybar cell phone.
		That said, the Micro includes several improvements over the aging Game Boy Advance SP (which itself is a retooled, enhanced version of the plain-old Game Boy Advance).
		And the Micro uses the same 32-bit processor and can play the hundreds of games in the Game Boy Advance library.

		Nintendo has taken the wraps off a new addition to the Game Boy Advance family of products at its pre-E3 press conference in Los Angeles, revealing the Game Boy Micro - the smallest GBA yet, with a backlit screen and snap-on covers.
		The new console, which is based on the same hardware as the existing Game Boy Advance SP, is four inches wide, two inches tall and 0.7 inches deep - around the same size as Apple's iPod Mini, and two thirds of its weight.

		Measuring four inches wide, two inches long and a half-inch thick, the $100 Game Boy Micro is a slimmer, sleeker Game Boy Advance that weighs in at only three ounces — small and light enough for a shirt pocket.
		But the re-sizing is a welcome reprieve from the recent “SUV-ing” trend in handheld gaming, with the Nintendo DS and Sony PlayStation Portable bulging pockets to the breaking point.
		Maybe we should regard the Game Boy Micro as this generation's version of the metal lighters that swells once pulled from their coat pockets to impress the ladies.
