Game Boy Micro: Nintendo's Coolest Handheld Overview and Review

This video will be revisiting a somewhat obscure Nintendo handheld that is one of my favorite Nintendo systems and deserves a lot more love.

This was my first ever games console 🥺 I got a pink GameBoy Micro for Christmas in 2006 when I was just 6 years old, I still own it today and I still play it today! It is super tiny but super cute. I love it so much, even though they sell for a lot now I don't ever wanna get rid of it, it will always have a special place in my heart 💗

I have a childhood memory of my mother trying to get me a gameboy advance for my birthday off of Ebay. She lost the bid at the last moment and that got me down. My dad heard about it and immediately took me to town and got me this Gameboy Micro (the same Famicom one seen here) and a copy of Zelda Link to the past. That little gameboy was such a blast to play.

Nice. this is my favorite GBA model for on the go. Fits so nicely in my pocket with a game installed. I also have the Famicom one, though it's the actual 20th anniversary one. I even have the 2nd controller faceplate!

My micro with a charger ordered from Japan cost me $175 minus shipping. To say prices have gone up is an understatement

I bought one of these about 12 years ago for £20 and had it stolen 8 years ago when my house got broken into. It was an awesome console and they go for £100+ now! Crazy

Im trying to get one cheap but giving up on that dream lol

[VampiresCrypt]

I remember those were cheaper to get than the AGS101 but once the user community brought out a flashcard that can play all GameBoy games, the price for this one went up and stayed!

See kids, this is how Donkey Kong Country on GBA was mean to be viewed and played, not on Youtube or PC Emulators. It does not look like shit.

Man! Maybe I should get one one day in the future! I just love it when Nintendo and other video game companies modify their consoles to look even smaller and easier to pick up and play. I think it's pretty cool!

Just got a famicon edition one in mint condition on Facebook market place with Pokemon fire red and ruby for $130 😁

I bought a nintendo 64 years ago at a yard sale for $20. In the box of stuff I found this little gameboy micro. I had no clue that these existed. After seeing how much they sell for I definitely stole it. 15 years later I still use it and the battery still holds a good charge.

I had one of these it felt so futuristic lol, left it on a bench in Richmond VA and it was not there when I returned

The most beautiful system Nintendo has ever made.

Love the GB Micro and i really enjoyed your video! Keep this good work up!

Great video. Since I was a little boy I dreamed of having a portable system with loads of retro games on it, and I always admired the form factor, novelty, and ultra sleek design of the Gameboy Micro. A few years ago, what started as an interest in getting one of those tiny arcade machines one day at Target quickly snowballed into finally getting a GB Micro with an Everdrive cart and a personally curated list of NES, GB, GBC, and GBA games. I love this console.

Also, it's funny how you mention that the machine wasn't made to cut costs. While that may be true on the consumer side, I remember reading that the screen used for the GB Micro was an existing manufacturer design and not proprietary like Nintendo's other handhelds (at least at the time), and that may have been the deciding factor in even creating the thing.

My church school teachers liked me, and gave me a gameboy micro, i still have to this day. The amount of hours i put into that handheld instantly dwarfed the standard GBA i owned prior to that thanks to it being Rechargeable with a backlight. I loved that it didnt have a hinge either after seeing so many snapped GBSPs in my area. Micro was A flawless design.

[matthewmoseman]

I just got one today in absolutely perfect condition, even had a screen protector on it! It also looks exactly like yours.

I ended up finding a black-and-silver one in a Gamestop in a Seattle mall some time before 2010. It's not in the best condition, but the battery is going strong, and the faceplate latches are holding tight.

[Keioz]

I just found mine today in my garage. I feel super lucky to have one

[AGJ]

Man I wish that I brought several of these when I had the chance.
