Nintendo Game Boy Micro

Summary

The Game Boy Micro of the Japanese company Nintendo is essentially a Game Boy Advance in a 10 × 5 × 1.8 cm small case. The case is made of thin metal instead of plastic, which leads to a low weight of 80 grams. The Game Boy Micro is only half as heavy as its predecessor. The display also has a backlight and the resolution of the predecessor. However, since it offers a good two centimetres less screen diagonal, the image seems much sharper. All in all there are the standard colors silver (pictured), black, blue, pink, green and purple and then other colors for special editions. Because of its small size, it does not have an additional Z80 processor like the Game Boy Advance (SP), it cannot play any modules from the Game Boy Classic or Game Boy Color, but only games from the Game Boy Advance. This is the first time that this is breaking down compatibility.
