hawt



PSP killer!

 

[FortNinety]

Could make a reall neat belt buckle.

 

[Ulairi]

Hopefully it works as key chain.

 

[Bigfonzie]

OMFG! WHAT , this is cool but kinda sega wacky.

 

[DCX]

Nice...but all in all, it's just a new wallpaper to an old house.

DCX

 

[heavy liquid]

Nothing to protect the screen?

 

[Bigfonzie]

i need a price and i need a bigger screen. OH and a couple more killar gba apps aswell for me to buy.

 

[WordAssassin]

Gameboy Micro sales +1

Fuck.

 

[Pochacco]

Meh.
Candybar GBA to complement the clamshell GBA (SP).
That's about it.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Sexy, but does it have a headphone jack?

Edit: Guess so. Still, it needs a screen protector.

New Game Boy Micro projects a dynamic image: The best-selling system, Game Boy Advance, gets an extreme makeover for image-conscious people who like to play games. A slick, polished new look called Game Boy Micro shrinks Game Boy Advance technology into a stylish silver casing. It boasts a super-clear screen but weighs just 2.8 ounces, about the weight of 80 paper clips. A removable face plate gives owners the option to buy replacements to customize the look of their systems again and again with new colors and designs. It’s a cool new look, but not a successor to any existing product line. The Game Boy Advance line has sold more than 28 million units worldwide.

 

[AndreasNystrom]

i will wait for the SP-version

 

[Naked Snake]

Looks retro in a sexy way, if the price is right I'll most likely get one, my SP is in a bad shape and the backlight seals the deal (if it's REAL backlight, like DS/PSP).

 

[Mac the KNife]

ugh. maybe i should pull all my GBA games off ebay...


The PS3 has killed any interest I had in the PSP.



Need price and release date.

 

[sc0la]

does it play GB and GBC games?

better not be more than 50$
39.99 would be the limit I would pay for something like that, but I doubt I would get one anyway.

 

[radioheadrule83]

It has to be cheap. HAS TO BE.

When he mentioned iPod mini, I thought he was gonna say this was an iBoy or something.

 

[Drensch]

I'd buy one if you can get an nes controller faceplate for 29.99-39 or so

 

[puck1337]

I love the design of the new GB. But it is little consolation in the face of NO NEW SEXY.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Well it's pretty obvious I'm going to be getting one, looks great, but is it comfortable? Oh well, at least someone still knows how to make a portable that uh..portable!

 

[sc0la]

Oh yeah.

GBA Shuffle! :: "at least it has a screen"

 

[truesayian]

i need one of these..... my sister just steeped on my SP...

 

[belgurdo]

Although I personally believe you have to be a real sucker to buy this, it is a nice compliment to the DS

 

[Azure Dream]

I really don't see this as sexy, it just looks... cheap.

 

[DarienA]

The GB Micro is for image conscious people who still want to game.

Holy fuck we just had this conversation here in GAF a bit back about the image that's presented(possibly unfairly) when you pull out a GBA (looks da kiddie?) vs. the image(possibly untrue) when you pull out the #1 stunna PSP...

Since when has Nintendo been concerned with the image conscious gamer? Hmmm

 

[Twix]

excuse me but what is this ? OMG PURE UGLY.

 

[DCharlie]

i don't need another GBA capable device...

*looks at unit*

well, maybe just ONE more....

 

[Phoenix]

I really don't see this as sexy, it just looks... cheap.

Glad I'm not the only one. If all it really is is a GBA with a smallers form factor, you could have kept that for after E3 so it didn't fall into the noise of the show.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Nintendo's Target Demographic = the dumbest consumers on earth.

Hence why children are so often involved.

 

[Hollywood]

Wow, that looks a lot more comfortable than the older ones. It sounds light as fuck too. I wonder why buy it though, when most of the games are heading to DS?

 

[mj1108]

No matter what we say, it'll still sell shitloads.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Wow, that looks a lot more comfortable than the older ones. It sounds light as fuck too. I wonder why buy it though, when most of the games are heading to DS?

Did you see the E3 conference? The thing is tiny as hell, I don't know how anyone with regular sized hands could play that thing for 10mins without their hands totally cramping up.

 

[aoi tsuki]

You know, the small size would've been justified if it played MP3s via an SD slot. i could tolerate the size for games if it meant i coupld use it to play music.

 

[DSN2K]

+1 Folder

 

[Hollywood]

Did you see the E3 conference? The thing is tiny as hell, I don't know how anyone with regular sized hands could play that thing for 10mins without their hands totally cramping up.

Well the buttons look bigger and in the right place. It looks like an NES controller to me, I don't have a problem with that.

 

[Warm Machine]

Looks like something out of the 70s. All it needs is faux wood finish Intellivision style.

 

[Spectral Glider]

So after an enternity of waitng for a GB update, their new philosophy is to redesign the Advance on an almost yearly basis?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

that thing is probably meant more for kids. Looks too small for anyone with normal sized hands. Just nintendo expanding their portable market even further i guess. I'd still rather have an SP.

 

[mightynine]

Nintendo's Target Demographic = the dumbest consumers on earth.

Hence why children are so often involved.

Yes, because no other electronic piece of equipment comes in different sizes.

TVs are all one size. DVD players comes in one standard form, same goes for portable players. Radios only come in one size. Computer monitors are in one size. In fact, the Playstation would never EVER be released in a smaller form later on in the product's lifecycle. ONLY THE BASTARDS AT NINTENDO DARE RELEASE SOMETHING IN A SMALLER FORM!

Once again, I refuse to understand what the problem you have with this is if you never plan to buy one. Some of you are going to have to learn you need well thought out arguments, or you're going to be laughed at. Often.

 

[Bartman3010]

Oh your screen is so small. So Button small.

 

[Raw64life]

Looks awesome, but I already have a GBA and a DS. I don't need another system that plays GBA games.

 

[akascream]

Sexy machine.

You can't even fit the SP in your pocket very comfortably. This is a great idea.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Some of you are going to have to learn you need well thought out arguments, or you're going to be laughed at. Often.

Yea....somehow I don't think I'm the one being laughed at today. But I'll just let brainiacs like yourself stand in line. Target demographic = reached.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I really don't see this as sexy, it just looks... cheap.

I agree.

 

[Tyrael]

If Nintendo sell this new GameBoy at U$ 49,00 it could be a huge sucess.

 

[iapetus]

I want one of these. Don't need one in the slightest, but I just love the idea of a tiny GBA. +1 sale to sucker for small gaming technology.

 

[Link316]

Well the buttons look bigger and in the right place. It looks like an NES controller to me, I don't have a problem with that.

haha it'll be cool if that's one of the faceplates

 

[mightynine]

Yea....somehow I don't think I'm the one being laughed at today. But I'll just let brainiacs like yourself stand in line. Target demographic = reached.

Tell me, where can you quote me saying I was going to buy one?

Look, someone wants to spend their money on one of these and they already own every other version of the GBA out there? I think that's absurd, but it's their money. They've got the right.

But if you want to laugh at people for doing it, I think you need to get off your high horse. Everybody's got their something that they'll spend money on without hesitation.

 

[StRaNgE]

does it play GB and GBC games?

better not be more than 50$
39.99 would be the limit I would pay for something like that, but I doubt I would get one anyway.

at that price i would probably buy one too.

29.99 is the sweet spot though for it.

 

[dynamitejim]

I can't imagine wanting a GBA with an even smaller screen. Not to mention the dpad/button setup loks uncomfortable. Hopefully it'll drive down the price of the SP.
