Late to the Party: 20th Anniversary Gameboy Micro
Platform: GameBoy Micro
Manufacturer: Nintendo
Review Type: Touchy
Version: Retail
Drill Dozer wasn't the only thing I picked up in Fry's last week. In anticipation of the copies of Rhythm Heaven and Sound Voyager that YesAsia is sending my way, I snagged the shrunken-down, Famicom-flavored version of the GBA. I'm sure both games would play great on my DS Lite, but I'm using them as a bizarre kind of justification for this redundant piece of electronics.
And though this brings the number of devices in my home capable of playing GBA carts to a whopping eight, I'm still not feeling buyer's remorse. The thing is made of metal for Christ's sake! And it's retro-toned gold and red metal at that. The screen is tiny by all acounts, but its reasonably bright and the compact image sorta erases all the flaws in the last gen graphics. I'd have bought this thing sooner if it were a tiny bit cheaper. $89.99 is steep considering the fact that the DS Lite is only 40 bucks more.
I've decided to turn the fact that few gamers opted to buy into the GameBoy Micro to my favor. I'm the only kid on the block with this shiny, metal sucker. And soon I'll be playing glorious Japanese imports on it.
