Manual Support The original Game Boy
Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game
Boy Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket
of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy Micro system, quite simply the
smallest and sleekest Game Boy product that Nintendo has ever created. It’s
thinner than a cell phone, as chic as an MP3 player and as fun as a Game
Boy. In an instant it attracts attention and positions the image-conscious
player as someone on the cutting edge of cool.
The sporty, silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide, 2
inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside
today’s hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces,
or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same
processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models,
complete with standard face controls and gleaming shoulder and Start/Select
buttons that literally shine.
With Game Boy Micro, everyone plays with style. A removable face plate gives
owners the option to buy replacements to customize the look of their systems
again and again with new colors and designs. Most notably, its 2-inch
backlit screen shines with incredible power, rendering games in startling
clarity with fantastic colors on the best Game Boy screen ever. For the
first time, users can adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor
lights or outdoor sunshine.
"We're making the gorgeous Game Boy Micro for image-conscious folks who love
video games, the ones who want the look of their system to be as cool as the
games they play on it," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior
vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Because of its
diminutive size and industrial-hip look, Game Boy Micro immediately
identifies the person playing it as a trendsetter with discriminating style."
Game Boy Micro represents the latest evolution in the image of the Game Boy
Advance line, but it is not a successor to any current system. Game Boy
Micro will be released this fall. The system comes with a built-in,
rechargeable lithium-ion battery and supports standard headphones.
The Game Boy Advance line remains tied for the most popular video game
system of this generation. More than 28 million units have sold in the
United States, yet Game Boy Advance launched a full eight months after
PlayStation 2. Video game fans clearly appreciate great game play and
portability. Nearly 700 games are now available for Game Boy Advance. |
