This year at E3, Nintendo revealed the Game Boy Micro. It's a smaller version of the original GBA.

Good question. The answer is, No.
They claim it's the biggest, brightest screen ever! I doubt it though.

A little too small, you could lose it so easily.

The reason it is that size is to compete with all the phones that can play games these days. So I don't think it's going to get lost that easily.

It'd hurt your eyes looking at a screen that small for extended periods of time.

Well obviously I was exaggerating, but if it's that small, the screen must be tiny.

Thats too small.

I mean, you'd have to be really close and people with big fingers would need a dialling wand.

Any word on the price yet? Anymore than £50 and it'll probably fail.

Moving back on topic.

Found a good picture here, you can see the bottom. It's not actually interesting at all

Still no price set, but given the number of current games that this will no doubt play, it might do pretty well.

well yeah of course, but who could deal with trying to look at that little screen for that long, but maybe thats just a prototype and they will HOPEFULLY make it bigger.....
