I thought it was about time I put my newly acquired gadget down and write an op on it! So here are my views on the great little device from Nintendo:

During the last decade many large gaming companies such as Sega, Atari and Neo Geo have contributed their feeble attempts ... Read review

the new Game Boy Micro will fill that tiny gap in your life as Nintendo offers the smallest and sleekest Game Boy ever created. The ultra compact Game Boy Micro measures a mere four inches wide two inches tall and 0.7 inches deep allowing it to sit comfortably alongside today's hippest technological gadgets. Not only is the Micro extra slim it also weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces or about the weight of 80 paper clips making it Nintendo's lightest console ever! Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as the Game Boy Advance SP. Complete with standard face controls the Micro also has LED Start/Select buttons that will light up your gaming experience. The most notable feature apart from the vastly reduced size is its 2-inch backlit screen which is brighter and sharper than any previous Game Boy screen. For the first time ever users will be able to adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor lights or outdoor sunshine. Game Boy Micro is all about individual style and expression. With a selection of removable faceplates available owners can buy new plates to customise the look of their system again and again. Like the Game Boy Advance the Game Boy Micro comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery and supports standard headphones. The Game Boy Micro will be able to play all previous Game Boy Advance titles.

Advantages: Vast range of games, excellent quality of games and sound. Disadvantages: No backlight and low volume through speaker.
...the year of 1999 the Nintendo Gameboy Advance was born and introduced to the UK, boasting a 32 Mb processor. With a vast array of titles and support for their older Gameboy systems, the GBA was sure to stay and has done so till today, where it still remains the most powerful handheld games console to date, selling over 110 million systems. ~Packaging~
The GBA sits snugly in it’s small laminated box, which measures approximately twice the size of ... ...the connectivity possibilities with the Nintendo Gamecube system.
On opening the box you will find a warning and maintenance information sheet and 2 instruction booklets - each one covering various languages. An additional sheet is included in the box displaying a small range of games available for the GBA besides screen shots of each game. The reverse of the leaflet show the possibilities of the GBA Link Cable.

Advantages: Lots of fun Disadvantages: Can get a big obsessive
...which come from the same Nintendo family. There's the original gameboy, gameboy colour and the gameboy advance. They all do the same thing some may say, but the SP has one huge advantage. It has a flip screen, so it looks like a cute little minature laptop, and saves the screen from getting scratched. The keys are on the opposite side the the screen and offer suprising comfort despite the square shape. Another key advantage this has over the original ... ...volume up and down.
Nintendo have a history for making good quality consoles and at reasonable prices, take the Gamecube for example, which was much cheaper than competitors. Games come at reasonable prices if you're willing to buy second hand, I recently picked up Super Mario Advance for £7 and Rayman for £10. It's playable anywhere you go, from a short bus trip to a boring evening at work (well, that might just be a personal thing!!). Its appeal ...

Advantages: Graphics are amazing Disadvantages: The screen can be difficult to see
...this game on the Super Nintendo and didn’t see how it could be transferred to such a small portable console but it certainly succeeds! The colours, speed and smoothness of play from the SNES have all been perfectly transferred to the GBA, this really is a must-have game for this console. I’m afraid that’s the only GBA specific game I have purchased for now, the games cost upwards of £35 <sharp intake of breath>! However, as the ... ...around you the chirpy-happy typical Nintendo melodies, but the sound is much clearer and much less tin-y than without earphones. How heavy is it on the batteries?
---------------------------------
The console takes 2 AA Batteries. To be honest I’m not sure how heavy it is on the batteries as the same day I bought the console I also bought the travel adaptor pack. This contains 2 rechargable battery packs. When charged you put the pack in ...

Advantages: The power of the SNES in the plam of your hand. Disadvantages: Screen needs a backlight.
...and the critics said that Nintendo had nothing left in the tank, they thought that Sony had won. How wrong they were, while the N64 went down like a fart in a lift the morning after a curry the Gameboy continued to sell in its millions. There is one dreaded word that tells everyone why they continued to sell: Pokemon. The success of Pokemon took everyone by surprise and as the Pokemon series brought the trusty Gameboy back to life Nintendo began ... ...car journeys or boring flights. Nintendo realised that the Gameboy needed a facelift and so in the mid-nineties decided to release the Gameboy pocket. A new slim line version of the old Gameboy that was available in silver, green, yellow, red and blue. This was a revelation as although not yet in colour it was much smaller and literally could fit in your pocket. Next up came the Gameboy colour, which signalled the start of the revolution. Totally ...

...game play value, like many Nintendo consoles, it took on the others and ripped them to shred's. Games like Super Mario Land, Zelda: Links Awakening, Pokemon and Tetris were a large help, and can be held responsible a few million console sales each, but seedlings of what would become massive franchise tree's were planted on this console as well. Kirby's career started on the GameBoy, and, although he is far from a household favourite, he now has his ... ...place in the market. Thankfully, Nintendo recognised this and brought out the GameBoy Colour (sorry about the American Spelling, but that is its official name), which was much like the normal GameBoy, as in size and shape, but it had the abilities to produce games that were in colour.
Unfortunately, it didn't quite take off as much as Nintendo would have hoped, not selling too well, and not producing nowhere near as many games as would have been ...
