Review Round Up: GBA Micro

Everyone seems to love the screen, but not the price tag. Which is understandable since its price tag is very close to the DS, which can already play GBA games. Any way heres what everyone else had think.

GBA Micro Australia Release Date and Price

Aaron — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 08:05:54 +0000

The Game Boy micro will be available across Australia on November 3rd 2005, for a suggested retail price of $149.95. The Game Boy micro will be available in five colours at launch. The Platinum silver version will be available everywhere, with four other special colours being individually released through specific retailers. Other than the standard face plate, every unit sold will come with an alternative face plate that can be used to switch the style of your unit.

Seems very overpriced for what it offers. But I guess we will just have to wait and see.

The GBA Micro website went live today, pretty basic site, letting you go through a few of the many theme plates that Nintendo will have on offer for launch. Link

Also it has been announced the the Europe release date for the Micro will be November 2nd and sadly it will retail for 99 Euro.

GBA Micro $99 US and Ships September 19th

According to Gamespot, the GBA Micro will be shipping out Sep 19th for $99. Must admit this doesn’t look very promising for Nintendo, as it was just announced that they were dropping the DS by $20 to $129. I think this could be a big hit and miss for Nintendo. Still no word on Australian or European release date or price.
