Yes, this may technically be the least feature-rich GBA, but man do I love the darn thing. The screen is bright and crisp with a razor-sharp image, it's sleek, compact and perfect for the myriad of turn-based RPGs on the GBA. And of course, the swappable face plates are cool as heck
I reeeeally want to find some faceplates to swap in! Saw they have a couple of custom made ones on Etsy which I might try! I am due a M&L replay, currently deciding on whether or not to replay on pocket or the Micro…
@@VideoGameBear I don't have a GBA copy of Superstar Saga, but I can imagine how gorgeously the colors pop on the Micro's screen! And I never thought to look on Etsy! I might go see what they have
This simple video actually made want to play game boy advance games more than any other video talking about the console, the gameplay showcase with that cheerful music, I don't know what it does to my mind but it super effective!
I remember when Walmart got these, and reduced their prices down to around $50, or less. I picked up 2 of them, 1 of which has only been opened after I purchased it, just to make sure it worked, and I still own both of them, even now, in 2024. It completely blows me away with how much they currently go for on eBay. Never even crossed my mind back then, that those little dinky things would ever be worth anything, at all. In hindsight, I really wish I'd purchased a few more, just to have them to sell now. Lol.
I love the aesthetic the Game Boy micro gives, a tiny handheld that can fit anywhere. The New 3DS may have taken inspiration from the Game Boy micro’s customisable front plates!
Fun fact: There is an ad to promote this console. To promote it, Nintendo had an experiment: they put a rat in a maze with two goals, a piece of Swiss cheese🧀 and a GBA Micro 🎮 . The mice didn't went for cheese though, he climbed over the wall just to do the... man idk what to type here but the rat just basically VIOLATED it... fr nintendo had too much fun😭🙏
bought mine brand new for 40 bucks in gamestop back in 2008, had no idea I was buying a future rare console at the time, the thing sold so poorly that they were still sitting in the store untouched 3 years after they first came out.
Real cute! I have an original GBA and have been on the hunt for a good deal on a micro. They are very expensive, hopefully I’ll find one for cheap soon! 🤞
"Do you like the gba but find it so difficult to play because of how small the screen is? Well we made one that's even smaller! Now your kids will need glasses after years of playing this. Buy now! Pay with your eyesight later."
@@awesomebob7 true. There’s literally no reason for anyone to pick the Micro over the GBA and GBA SP and especially the DS if they had to choose one. Tiny screen, expensive, no backwards compatibility. I think people only buy it for collecting

The console😊
The rat in the ad:☠️
Bro found out the gameboy micro was afk
NO MICKEY THATS THE WRONG TYPE OF EXTENSION PORT
The game boy micro is the best gba but the most comfortable is a regular wide body with an ips screen mod…
It has the smallest screen though…
SP will always be the best gameboy advance

i love how micro took the A and B buttons, but liwercased them, to emphasize on its micro-ness

Used to have one as a kid and forgot how much time flew by while playing the little device 😅
Oh... That V-Rally 3 looks crisp on that thing!
He didn’t show any Pokémon game or ost in the video. I’m so glad of that!
I got the 20th anniversary as a kid.
I still have mine. I love that thing so much
A Gameboy micro!
The micro Gameboy!

@@kenm2709I never seen anyone with this one, that’s probably why they didn’t sell well.
Fun fact: Earthworm Jim is Published by Rockstar Games
Wow, you seem to have lots of goid gba games. Im so jealous lol. In a good way jealous😅
Real cute! I have an original GBA and have been on the hunt for a good deal on a micro. They are very expensive, hopefully I’ll find one for cheap soon! 🤞
Good luck!
What’s the point of getting the Micro if you already have the normal GBA? It’s a huge downgrade
@@ianthewarriorgamer8180 I know, I am trying to collect the consoles.
I recently purchased a Japanese model for 150$ never lose hope!
It’s nice when you just wanna play gameboy secretly in glass 😂
I have the Mother 3 GB Micro, I had to get it imported from japan
Do a size comparison with a Nintendo Switch joycon
its sad cause its a reshell one...
It has backlight i think it's the best gba
I remember getting mine taken away in class. LIKE A BOSS! 😂
Unlike the DS, this has Multiplayer Functionality for GBA Games.
What are all the games you played on gameboy micro.
Oh might do a similar one with my pink micro :)
"Do you like the gba but find it so difficult to play because of how small the screen is? Well we made one that's even smaller! Now your kids will need glasses after years of playing this. Buy now! Pay with your eyesight later."
Which driving game was that?
game list in order 👀
is this song from RPG?
It should play a lot of other stuff including GB and gbc with the everdrive
You can play nes and gb/c with flash card
You should play gta advanced on that
I have a Gameboy micro, I play that more than any of my Gameboy and I have every Gameboy version
Also easy to fit into my fat thigh pocket lol
So trendy!
No Golden Sun? Smh.
Not sure why a DS without two screens that is so expensive and that’s basically what the Gameboy Micro is but it can only play GBA games 😂
and it cant play ds games

2007/8 ... why i didn't bought two of *them ?!
*Silver, new in box (i bought only one).
What are the games he is playing?
Does it hurt your hands?
I had to break my wrists but apart from that it’s great!
How the hell did you find one they are super rare
Best way to play gba games in the middle of class?!😈🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need to go back in time and give younger me a Gameboy Micro
@@VideoGameBear give him a all of the advance trilogy too!!
GBA is one of the very best
😍
🎉
The game boy micro so tiny
Shouldn't it be called the Gameboy Advance Micro?
For some reason it isn’t
Why does that matter? 😂
Because it only plays advance games.
😮
Why so tiny
Nintendo®ules
Ngl it’s the most pointless gameboy
1 like for the mario superstar saga music
EDIT: IS THAT LADY SIA???
One like to you for recognising the under rated lady sia
great my gb. micro was gone
