Nintendo Wrote:LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2005 – The original Game Boy Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game Boy Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy Micro system, quite simply the smallest and sleekest Game Boy product that Nintendo has ever created.

It’s thinner than a cell phone, as chic as an MP3 player and as fun as a Game Boy. In an instant it attracts attention and positions the image-conscious player as someone on the cutting edge of cool.

The sporty, silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside today’s hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models, complete with standard face controls and gleaming shoulder and Start/Select buttons that literally shine.

With Game Boy Micro, everyone plays with style. A removable face plate gives owners the option to buy replacements to customize the look of their systems again and again with new colours and designs. Most notably, its 2-inch backlit screen shines with incredible power, rendering games in startling clarity with fantastic colours on the best Game Boy screen ever. For the first time, users can adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor lights or outdoor sunshine.

"We’re making the gorgeous Game Boy Micro for image-conscious folks who love video games, the ones who want the look of their system to be as cool as the games they play on it,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Because of its diminutive size and industrial-hip look, Game Boy Micro immediately identifies the person playing it as a trendsetter with discriminating style."

Game Boy Micro represents the latest evolution in the image of the Game Boy Advance line, but it is not a successor to any current system. Game Boy Micro will be released in the second half of this year. The system comes with a built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and supports standard headphones.

The Game Boy Advance line remains tied for the most popular video game system of this generation. More than 28 million units have sold in the United States, yet Game Boy Advance launched a full eight months after PlayStation 2. Video game fans clearly appreciate great game play and portability. Nearly 700 games are now available for Game Boy Advance.

Just copying than looking at the images that does happen to be the kind of thing Lee put up.

Hmm...they have images? err...I must see that..

The image is in my post on the previous page about the GameBoy Micro, its no new GameBoy. I doubt very much that Nintendo would abandon such a HUGE name in the video gaming world (I.e. the GameBoy) - and i'd expect maybe another GameBoy maybe in a year or two.

Anyways, i've also just watched the latest footage of Mario Kart DS, and its looking as great as Mario Kart always is! Click Here to download it (.mov file).

I think that if anywhere, is where Ninteno will continue to lead the pack. Any good games I need to know about that they are going to be showcasing at E3?

(I'm too lazy to actually read through all of the posts.)

If you loved Animal Crossing on Gamecube and are eagerly awaiting the Nintendo DS version, Cube-Europe have 11 screens for the game!

They've also mentioned that alike in the Gamecube version where you could visit your friends towns by transferring Memory Card data, you can visit your friends DS town from the other side of the world using the Nintendo DS' Online service which will be available by the end of the year! Pretty nifty eh?
