New model GBA SPs are backlit

[Finch]

I love the Micro. It's so tiny and so keen. The screen is sharp enough so you can see little details, no problem. Unless you really want to play old GB and GBC games, the Micro's the way to go. I read somewhere that the battery life is 10 hours. I forgot where.

Why must they tempt me? I will NOT buy more than one Gameboy Micro. I WILL NOT!!!

Can't they just sell the faceplates? I mean, jeez, I thought that was the point.

Even if they did, it wouldn't match the color of the micro itself. It's the faceplate with the system that looks beautiful, though it'd probably look good against the famicom micro.

Oh, you're right. I didn't even realize they had different system colors.

They always find a way to prey on silly collectors, don't they? Guess it'd be too much trouble to snap the front and back off like an old Nokia phone, huh? That was the best part of those faceplates, making a hideous two-tone combination on an obscenely commonplace phone, that way nobody accidently picked my phone up thinking it was theirs.

Of course, I don't imagine GB Micro becoming commonplace at all, as it is a lot less useful than a cellphone, and it's more expensive than a more functional unit is. Most people with IQs higher than Wilykat (large percentage of the population) do not purchase one!

Not to derail the thread, but seeing the Super Mario Bros on there reminded me...

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe > NES Classics: Super Mario Bros.

Harg, i guess if anyone makes variants, it's to prey on silly collectors. I know i'm going to try to collect every color of my car. The gbmicro itself is beautiful shiny metal and the face is plastic. It looks and feels much nicer than a plastic shell.
It's a game system, not a phone. It doesn't charge by the minute and doesn't even require an activation fee. The screen's sharper than the sp's, it's even tinier, and it weighs nothing. It may be style over function, but who cares? It works and looks nice.

Same one I got, it looks nice don't it. The past year I haven't even touched my SP cause the DS screen looked so much nicer but now I always play on the new SP. The DS needs these screens.

The screen's sharper than the sp's

The new SPs screen looks better than the micros, it's brighter and even though the image is bigger, it looks sharper.

the new SP makes me wanna play all my GBA games all over again....specially castelvania circle of the moon

the thing is the DS is a bit heavy when holding it on the long run.....i prefer the lighter smaller SP.....specially with the new screen.
