Err... Yay? I've already spent more on the two GBAs than I did buying my Cube, I don't think I'll be getting this one as well.

Heh, I'm actually tempted to believe Nintendo may have overpriced this a tad actually, as small and desirable as it is.

When you can get a DS for $50 extra - yeah I'd say it's overpriced - or at least the DS is underpriced.

Hmm... they look good but their shape vagely reminds me of those 80's hand held things, you know with Mr. Game&Watch?

Both really. $150 for a tiny GBA isn't really too much, but you might as well get a DS, they're already down to $170 at kmart specials etc.

Side note: Imagine telling someone ten years ago that you'd be able to have a handheld machine more powerful then a SNES, that's less then 1/3 the size of a SNES cartridge!

No, Game & Watches were DS shaped - or just the bottom half of the DS if it was one screen. Two 'Game Watches' were also released, but the 50 or so G&W games were handheld.

ah ok, i think i know the units you mean now... used to run off the watch batteries and were only 1 game per screen (though some had interchangable game screens)

fvcking stupid calling them Mr.G&W though, IMO

They weren't called "Mr Game & Watch" - they were just "Game & Watch", as they were a game with a built-in watch - it has two functions, see?
The "Mr" part came about to name the silhouetted figure that appeared in all the G&W games - they just tacked the "Mr" on the front to suggest that he was the star of all of those old handheld games.

As for the GB Micro, I want to know if it can link up to the GCN - can it?
If so, I'll get one without a doubt (plus, they look cool, and would be a perfect distraction during boring Accounting and Finance lectures).
If not... then, I'll think about it, or get one when they're cheaper!

Yup, should be 'game and clock'......though doesnt have that same ring to it.I did actually have a 'game and watch'....an actually watch that was on your wirst with the legend of zelda on it.There were like 3 rooms in it and in each room was a dragon and you had to kil the dragon while dodging his fireballs and the collect your triforce piece.

If the new gc zelda can surpass that kinda depth than were in for a heck of a ride lol.

Personally, i think the micro has no real place.Its strange....it does not belong.....it needs to go back to 'germania'.My DS provides all my gba goodness and damn its only like 30 bucks dearer.Hopefully will appeal to the ipod crowd, aka the 'its shiny, bright coloured, small, must have' crowd.
