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.

Small is the New Big: Nintendo Game Boy Micro

byB_Campbell Oct 4, 2005
84 Helpfuls 85 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small: 4"x2"x1", light, extremely bright display, trendy, standard...
Cons Feels fragile, unprotected display, no Game Boy/GBC compatibility
Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy. Back then, nobody cared that they were playing games in only pea-soup green or that the thing drained batteries like nobody's business; they could take those games... Read full review »

Big gaming in a small package

byeternityawaits Mar 28, 2006
46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, portable, customizeable, bright screen.
Cons Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't think of Nintendo's Game Boy Micro as a new system, so much as I think of it as an extension of their already popular Game Boy Advance line. The system is essentially a Game Boy Advance in a smaller shell. I don't think of it as a "novelty" item either, as I do see more and more people of... Read full review »

Sony PSPgo (PSP GO) (16GB) Black Video Game Handheld System

bysaraab Jul 13, 2010
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Smaller, lightweight, fits in pocket
Cons EXPENSIVE for both system and games, download only games, cannot use UMD's at all
Recommended it? No

While the Sony PSPgo looks great and is a beautiful machine, I feel it is a step down when comparing it to the features of the PSP 3000.

The system costs $249 at retail price and comes with the basic accessories needed to operate the system.  If you have previously owned a PSP you will... Read full review »

This PSP is nice for newcomers, but not necessary for PSP veterans.

byfox-orian Oct 16, 2009
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good build. Good design. Great tactile buttons. Smaller size makes portable media more...
Cons Weak game library. Can't borrow or buy used games. No UMD compensation offered...
Recommended it? Yes

After thoroughly playing around with the PSP go, many of you might be wondering whether or not this system is worth its $250 pricetag.

In some regards, it is. Most notably if you own no prior PSP system, or lack any mobile media playing device, the the PSP Go could intrigue you. However,... Read full review »
