4 Inches wide!!
Heres the article to save everybody the agony of the Nintendo website:
Heres the article to save everybody the agony of the Nintendo website:
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.
Stay tuned right here for all news on Game Boy and Game Boy games!

wow, looks damn cool
to be honest, if the DS wasnt out already, and they would launch a bit earlier and at a good price id get one to replace my old skool GBA, i was eyeing the SP for the same thing, but i was way to expensive for my taste when i already had all the tech in other form
it looks cool, if i come across one cheap i might pick one up for the sheer novelty and coolness of the thing, but for my handheld gaming i think the next step will be a DS

Looks very cool, but I never liked the small stuff... Just like with that old gameboy pocket, it was just too small to be comfortable. I prefer the first, classic gameboy design when it comes down to comfort
When I play games I want to be able to feel the controller in my hands...

You feel at ease as you flock with the masses,

I wont be buying one then. That's way too small, it would be a pain to play that thing. Imagine the cramps youw ould get playing that thing. Also, on TV last week (or two weeks ago?) they were talking about cell phones and Blackberrys and how the fact that they are so small is bad for your hands because they are cramped and not relaxed. It's so so much cell phones though, only for people who play a lot of games of the cell phone.Jigoku wrote:i think this should be about the actual size, unless i totally messed up the scaling.
Edit: Also, wes1406, could you edit your post? Side scrolling sucks. Or maybe a mod could do it for him?

Anyone else notice that the new smaller gameboy kinda looks like the failed Neo Geo Pocket? Or is it me?
I am not going to buy it; I gave up on Nintendo and their constant gameboy revampings after the Gameboy Color. Plus, no matter how decent the picture quality gets on the portables, it always hurts both my eyes and my neck after extended playing times.
