The news this week has been around release dates and pricing for all sorts of bits and pieces, among them is the date and price for the new GBA Micro.
Nintendo Australia put this news article out:-
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.
Although I've just picked up my DS, I can see the advantages of having one of these little beauties. The DS isn't exactly pocket friendly, I took it out at lunch yesterday and it didn't exactly fit 'comfortably' in my pocket. Also the Micro has the advantage over the SP with the positioning of the buttons. One of the biggest things I've noticed since going to the DS is that the having the buttons on the side of the screen was much more intuitive design than the close proximity on the SP. With a similar design concept on the Micro it would be great to pop in your pocket when your DS just isn't going to make the trip with you.
It will definately be on my wanted list when it comes out!
