That's kind of why I love the NES and PC Engine so much.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I agree with you that the Micro is a damn fine system--especially when you consider its tiny size. Really, I'm surprised it wasn't more popular than it was. Then again, Nintendo released it after the DS, so it was bound to have a hard time worming its way into the mainstream consumer's conscience.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-65791050549190405242013-03-07T08:57:21.655-08:002013-03-07T08:57:21.655-08:00Oh, yeah, I imagine most folks play their GBA game...Oh, yeah, I imagine most folks play their GBA games on DSes and DSlites these days.

I keep all of my old consoles as long as they're working in some way. However, we have two DS Lites bouncing around our place, so GBA games get played on those now. Amusingly we have an old purple Game Boy Color still floating around too (but no more original Gameboy.

I spend so many great hours of gaming with this great handheld :-)<br /><br />I never owned a Gameboy Color and switched directly from the Classic black(green)/white Gameboy to the Advance.<br /><br />But if I ignore the beloved memories I guess I would say I love the design of the GameBoy Micro the most.<br /><br />It is impressing how this super small handheld contains all important abilities just as display light, all buttons the big ones have and changeable surface!<br /><br />Even the start and select buttons are lighted and (again) this handheld is soooo small!!!

The SP ...I can't choose between the SP and GBA.<br />The SP has a backlight and closes over and protects the screen, it's handy to just throw into your bag BUT I don't like how it feels with a GBC cart, it annoys me while playing.<br />GBA lacks the above but GBC carts don't annoy me while playing, the design reminds me of a Game Gear so it's more familiar to me, the handheld itself to me looks nicer.<br />Really wanted a mirco around Christmas, a lilac one (all about lilac stuff atm) but wouldn't pay the price for it lol.Triseratopsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-22204048490647615272013-03-06T05:39:18.610-08:002013-03-06T05:39:18.610-08:00We have a purple one very similar to your bottom p...We have a purple one very similar to your bottom photo.

It wouldn't even have to be anything like Baraduke or Dig Dug, just a kind of cool game with those characters. :)<br /><br /><br />And I'd definitely agree that I would like to see Mr. Driller redesigned, I just am not sure I'd want it after I got it. ;) But that's part of why I mention Baraduke (with Dug Dug teamup) because it's a case where definitely I would like it. :)michaelstearnsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-9393037326177149632013-03-05T18:12:18.354-08:002013-03-05T18:12:18.354-08:00You're probably right that some/many fans woul...You're probably right that some/many fans wouldn't like it.

Of course, my opinion means less than nothing to the folks responsible for this series, I'm sure, so I wouldn't worry about this happening anytime soon.<br /><br /><br />As for Namco producing a new Baraduke title featuring Mr. Driller's parents: I'd love to see that--even though I don't believe I've ever even played the original Baraduke!thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-54576376417876982462013-03-05T17:35:04.785-08:002013-03-05T17:35:04.785-08:00There's a good challenge for somebody's ar...There's a good challenge for somebody's art class! The look of the game has generally been so distinctive (not without some evolution though) that a big change would certainly grab attention but I wonder if people would like it?

Mine isn't, although I don't remember it ever bothering me much, to tell you the truth.<br /><br /><br />As for the Micro: I've only spent a bit of time with mine thus far, but the screen is so bright and crisp that I think only games with tons of text would be difficult to enjoy. I've only played Rhythm Tengoku on mine, though, and that's not exactly a text-heavy game, so don't take my word for it.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-27834430125425240152013-03-05T15:46:36.588-08:002013-03-05T15:46:36.588-08:00I never owned a Micro but I loved my SP, mostly si...I never owned a Micro but I loved my SP, mostly since it had a back-light compared to my OG Game Boy Advance. I remember my sisters and I each playing our Game Boy Advances with that attachable light in the back of our parents' car at night. It was still pretty difficult to see even with that peripheral - at least to my 11 year old self who refused to wear glasses.<br /><br />I really hope that one day I get to play on a Mircro for myself.

I say because I honestly haven't used my Micro as much as I should have by now. Then again, I barely use my SP, either, so apparently I haven't been in a GBA mood in a while.<br /><br /><br />As for the SP's buttons: I think they look more cramped than they actually are. At least, I've never personally had a problem with them. The bigger problem for me is how narrow the system is. It can be awkward to hold for long periods of time, kind of like the Micro.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.com
