The Negatives
These are certein criticisms that have been collected from different people around the net.
1. The screen size is small and Sp is portable enough.
2. Relys on proprietary (nonstandard) ports, and your older Gb calbes won't work on this.
3. Price--at $10 more you could get a gamecube with a free game, or at $30 more, a ds.
The positive
1. Is light weight, and can fit almost any pocket
2. Has a sleeker design than before models
3. Better Backlight.
So is the Gameboy Micro Worth it? Our call: Unless you're a hardcore Nintendo fan, we would wait out for another price drop.
