Why is the Gameboy Micro a small powerhouse?
The Gameboy (GB) Micro may look like a gadget, but don't be fooled by this small powerhouse. The GB Micro has the same buttons as its bigger siblings and can play all Gameboy Advance games. It features a backlit screen and a headphone jack. With its compact dimensions of 50×101×17.2 mm, it fits in any pants or jacket pocket.
Is the Gameboy Micro surprisingly comfortable?
The first time you hold a GB Micro, the small device may feel a bit awkward. However, after a few minutes of playing, this issue disappears and you end up with a better grip than with the GBA SP. This is because the buttons are located next to the screen rather than underneath it. The shoulder buttons can be a bit harder to reach, but fortunately, many GBA games don't heavily rely on them.
