Still not seeing the sexy.
It should have a decent sell through though.

Holy crap, you're supposed to play that thing? My eyes will go blinder than they already are looking at that.

It is a miracle to see how small it is.
Anyway, i'd like to know if you can PLAY it, without having problems with your eyes.
I guess we have to wait to see it live, to have an idea.
In any case this is the REAL portable console.
I'd like to go back to school. (;_

It's the same size (roughly) as my Sony Ericcson mobile phone. Similar size screen too, and looks just as bright.
Size won't be a problem.. \(^_^)/

When you've been plowed by a trash truck, then of course size will matter.

I think Nintendo made this thing for blind people.

LOL that's way too small. I'll stick to my GBA SP.

My eyes have already gone bad from playing video games since the Atari 2600 all the way up and using computers everyday. I would like to save what vision I have left and avoid headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome if possible. I still can't believe they actually want to put a Play Yan on that thing too. What the hell would you watch on it?

Honestly, is there any benefit to owning a Micro over the GBSP?

Sold!
The screen?SonicMegaDrive said:
The screen on the SP is of very low quality. While smaller, the Micro screen is sharper, more colorful, and backlit. Hopefully it has a superior viewing angle as well (the DS screens have a very poor viewing angle for instance). I believe they are using a high-end cell phone screen for the Micro. It should look extremely nice.

I can understand the other Gameboy revisions through the years, and I could maybe even start to understand this one if it were only $50 or so. Otherwise I do not a see a point to owning one at all when an SP is cheaper, a slightly higher quality screen doesn't cut it

Yes, I like how it has a sharper, backlit screen. But the fact that they made it smaller really off-sets that. Like somebody else said, I have a hard enough time seeing small details on the normal GBA screen.
I'd have much-preferred a new clam-shell/GBSP design with an added backlit screen.
Maybe for the GBA Micro SP?

The only advantage I could see is actually being able to play the thing in public. The SP is quite large and mine is red to boot, so I'm really looking forward to carrying this little beauty in my pocket. I'm also a Nintendo whore and I get off on buying all their new products. Getting off is also an advantage.

Why couldn't they just put a nice, sharp, backlit screen in the SP? Make a whole bunch of colors and market it as "Gameboy SP-HD" or something like that.

I just hope when this thing flops(and it will), that Nintendo will continue to manufacture regular GameBoy Advance games. I'm not ready to give up on it just yet.

i cant see what the point of it is :/

It's funny, the first time I EVER saw this thing was in my hands at E3 ---- no photographs or anything, the real deal.
And I never even thought twice about the screen's size - I had it in my hands, held it at a comfortable "cell-phone" distance from my face .... and it wasn't untill after the initial impact of *pure glee* playing it for some time, did i realize that the screen was actually that small...... The resolution is all there, subconsiously I adjusted it so it was in scale to my usual GBA view.
And yea, it was a game with text in it.
needless to say, i got my Famicom version on pre-order

Maybe that part about it being named MICRO wasn't hint enough for ya.Synth_floyd said:
People who have actually used it: "The Micro has an awesome screen, it feels natural, and looking at the screen isn't bad at all"
People who haven't: "Wow, that screen is way too small. i'm going to go blind looking at that thing. How could Nintendo be so stupid!"
Guess which camp I'm listening to?

Yea, and the first camp basically played a little bit at a game show. Besides just about all of them keep comparing it to playing games on their cell phone screens which is not reassuring at all for me. In fact it turns me right off.

Actually, the thing was surprisingly comfortable.
The thing with the GBA SP was that there isn't a screen in the middle, and the buttons are in the center. Your fingers have to sex up with each other to find out a way to hold it.
The Micro has the buttons at the edges, and even though it's small, it's comfortable to hold. You don't have to support any major weight (no clamshell). It's less like holding a controller and more like ... pressing buttons in the air, I guess. You don't feel the plastic anywhere but the buttons, if you know what I mean.
Going blind from staring at a such a small screen, that's another matter...
The MICRO looks Awesome. It's going to be very portable and have a great screen. At $99, I'd get it on launch.
Oh I don't know. Scroll through the last 20 pages of the PSP video encode thread where bored PSP owners talk about watching their various anime festishes, listen to mp3s and defend their right to encode videos for PSP as a great feature.
Play-Yan and micro goes great together. Unlike some other portables out there, Micro is actually small enough to double for an mp3 player and being able to encode videos is just a bonus.
Maybe you should just stop trolling in the Nintendo threads.

Hell, I think the PSP screen is bigger than the entire width and height of the Micro.
