My dreams of playing Panel de Pon from the Nintendo Puzzle Collection on a Micro are now offically gone and crushed. At least the Dr.Mario & Puzzle League cart is now out, even if half of that collection is useless.
Does the Micro support multiplayer at all?

Yeah. There's a seperate cable for playing vs. micros and the other models, though. Or maybe it's an adapter. I dunno.

But the SP was already as small as a portable ever needed to be. It can disappear into your pocket along with keys and a fat wad of change - and thanks to its clamshell design, doing so won't even hurt it. Once you've accomplished that, making it even smaller seems to be done just for its own sake, or for the sake of making it "cute".

You can wear it around your neck.

...if you enjoy looking like a complete knob, sure, I suppose you can.

SP is small, yeah, but if you have one in your pocket, it's hard to forget it's there; it's still fairly boxy and bulky. I can put the Micro in my pocket and my awareness of it's presence is nil.

I'm very pleased with it. It's the ultimate portable in terms of portability, and suffers nothing in quality. In fact, the smaller, sharper screen actually makes games look much less pixilated, and therefore more impressive. It's easily worth the extra $10 it costs versus an SP (Psst, Micro has adjustible brightness, too).

Not out of the box, but there's an adaptor available for the old-style link cables.

$20 more for a little smaller system that does less than the last one. Sure... I'm such a huge nitwit. Its cool if you dont have a GBA already, but come on, how can anyone seriously say its worth getting one if you already have a SP?

Would you like me to say it again?

Game Boy Micro is smaller than the SP. People like small things. You nitwit.

Umm, boohoo?

I guess your girlfriend likes small things too?

Oh, you guys had to know that was coming.

Christ, posting anything bad in a Nintendo thread is just flame bait and brings out the trolls. Its not like I was trashing the thing, just the stupid people buying it that already had a SP.
