Well, it has a place for a cell phone charm, so if you can work off of that, yeah.
Nope.
Man those Micros sold fast, faster than the Famicom ones? My fiance wanted to get one but we only just woke up
Nope, not NOA?
Nope, I'm in New Zealand.

Blue Micro has left the warehouse
Silver one has left. That guy is quick to ship!

Why would you want to abuse such a beautiful object by dangling it with keys which will scratch it to hell?
Agreed. It comes with a wonderful carrying pouch anyways.
Also, if you guys have flip video cameras from years back, their cases are great for the micro. That is what I use for two of mine.

Depending on condition that is pretty good. I don't know what play-yans go for these days but they're quite scarce.
Silver is boring in my opinion. It is one of the few colors I don't own. Splurge and go for the famicom one. The ArcadeShock had it for $99 and I frequently see them on eBay for around $70-80 used.
Be patient, get what you really want!
Even the US ones are selling for $140+. At least ones that will ship overseas. How often does ArcadeShock get them in?
Hmm so it seems Nintendo Australia has the following faceplate colours available:
Light blue
Purple
Silver
Red
So I ordered 2 red for $9.95 AUD each plus $9.95 AUD shipping to NZ...
But then he said the red might actually be red with silver, he couldn't say, lol.
I will probably mod one anyway to an image I like, if I can find my crafty side again

Ordered me a second hand silver one off ebay along with final fight after finding out my neogeo x order wont come till after christmas. I always wanted one... the sexy Famicom one was a little out of my price range
Hmm I wonder if that includes if you ordered a Famicom one...
I wouldn't think so. Can't hurt trying if you want it. The worst that can happen is that it gets cancelled.
A little off topic but can we discuss gaming hardware dedicated to playing emulators? There's a Chinese handheld that was recently released that is built on hardware from reverse engineering the original GBA so you can play GBA games 1:1 since its basically the exact hardware.

My silver one came in from ArcadeShock today. Wow, that guy knows how to pack things. It arrived in a large priority mail box stuffed with peanuts. Inside was another box that seems taped professionally. I opened that and there was the GBM box in pristine condition with more peanuts around it.
Nice to see the care that went into shipping this to me.

Sounds awesome! ArcadeShock has to ship mine internationally as I'm in Europe, but I think something is wrong. The USPS tracking number is still saying "Electronic Shipment Info Received".. I don't know if it's a fault with USPS or AS somehow didn't actually ship mine out. I'm gonna wait a couple of days before I contact them.

I have to think USPS as they can be slow to update stuff. I recently had something delivered by Fedex SmartPost which is FedEx delivering to a post office for local delivery. It said shipping information received and never got updated until the package was delivered that night. So it had the wrong info for about 3-4 days.
Oh, okay. Good to know. Never dealt with USPS before, haha. Thanks!
Hey guys, if any of you are still looking for a Famicom Micro, ArcadeShock just got 5 more in for $149.99!

Does this look any different from the one released in the US? I forget what it looked like.
The Micro itself is the same, but the packaging is much more awesome

Ok, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure. The backside of the box is really nice.

I believe there's an extra emblem on the back of the JPN one. It's a mario 1 sprite with a garland under it and it says "Happy Mario 20!"
Where did you buy the EZFlash IV if you don't mind my asking? I've been looking for one for ages to no avail.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Saw this thread bumped.
Saw that this weird site has brand-new and sealed Famicom Micros for $149.99. They were apparently mis-priced for $99 last week, so I debate with myself.
But then I see that they're packed well, and it should arrive in minty condition.
Son of a bitch! That's $160 I wasn't expecting to spend right now :-/ Damn you, Gaf.

I just bought it off of ebay because it almost seems like every other site that ships to the states is out of stock.
Ah okay, I hadn't looked there yet. Cost much?
It was $70 new with 2gb stick. I am sure it was somewhat overpriced but in the end it saves me money on games.
Hmm okay that is a bit much. I'd only be getting it for the convenience of being able to play games I already own without having to carry them all around. Not planning to pirate :/

Got my Micro in today from ArcadeShock. It looks great, Ive been playing Super Mario World on it and it's so much more comfortable then I expected it to be. I'm glad I found this thread at the right time.
Can anyone suggest some Japanese games I can import to play on this?

The only one I would attempt is Rhythm Tengoku. You can usually find eBay auctions with the original box for about $40. It is easy enough to follow along with if you don't know any Japanese. It is hard as heck though.

It's not hard if you've got the flow!
Also I got my micro today, it's fun. And since I got a copy of Rhythm Tengoku with mine I've been getting the medals that the person who owned it previously did not.
JUST FOUR MORE TO GO
Then I'll end up driving myself crazy over the Perfects.
And as stated before it included the PlayYan micro (Which apparently needs a 1GB or less SD Card to use, and I can't find any non-2GB and up around right now) and Super Robot Wars J and Final Fantasy IV (Japanese Version) which I'll probably never be able to play properly since they're text heavy and in Japanese. And the charger's European (I guess) with a US adapter. The faceplate has little Rhythm Tengoku stickers on it too. It came from New York.
This is confusing.

As long you used a credit card, you should be fine. You always have the power of a chargeback if you don't get the item.
