I was thinking about getting a GB micro. I already have a gba sp+. A micro would be like another addition to my collection.I wanted to know which one to get. I was thinking about getting a full black one.

But Ive heard the famicom/20th anniversary edition is more valuable, so i guess il go with that one.

What i wanted to know is whether there is any difference between the famicom and 20th anniversary edition, as they both look the same.I wanted some clarification on this matter. How would i differentiate the two? I think i saw somewhere, a pic with some wording and a mario outline on the back of a famicom micro. Is it like that on all the famicom ones?

I'l be buying the micro from this local shop that i usually buy games/consoles from. However,the owner told me that maroon(red)+gold combo one isnt very popular because the gold parts get scratched easily in usage,making it quite ugly.Thus, its demand in his shop is way lower than other micro editions.But if i wanted one, said he could get it for me.Price would be the same. (61$ new.)

So have any of you famicom/20th anniv. micro owners experienced the gold paint getting scratched off?

If that is the case, i wouldnt mind getting the famicom/20th anniv. one as a collectors item and get a black one for more regular usage.

Any advice ,info or recommendations would be appreciated.

Ps- A question to all the collectors. Would the micro get spoiled if it is left unused? Im asking because in my gba sp booklet it mentions that the device should be recharged atleast once every 6 months or it goes bad,or something along those lines.     
 
Any recommended carry case or cover i should get?

You can still find those things? I always thought they looked really cool. Wasn't there an extra cool one modelled after the NES? That thing was so awesome. Sorry, man. I'm apparently not much help here.

man....if i could find a gameboy micro for like...30$ i would be all over it.  otherwise, this thread is dead.

I've got the anniversary edition. It's still works fine. It's great if you still play a lot of GBA games, I prefer it over the SP because of the small screen size. It doesn't have a link cable slot, though. So yeah, if you play a lot of GBA games, I'd recommend it.

I have one Famicon Edition and one silver.

I've always wanted a GameBoy Micro for some reason. They're pretty sexy.

yeah the micro was awesome its little screen really was good.

The GB Micro uses a different link cable, and there's no adaptor, you do need to get two Micro's and a link cable. GB Micro Wireless Adaptors are available from PlayAsia.

There is a link cable slot, the power slot acts as it :) I play Street Fighter Alpha 3 on mine. There's also a wireless adaptor, as well as 2 player link cable and a 4 player link cable. I have all.

Hey,

Is that a cover on your gba? I think i could use one of those. Does the facepaint scratch easily?

those play gba games?

Nice bump, but at least this reminded me of my Micro. I should really dig mine out again one of these days.

I've always wanted those, but the lack of BC with Game Boy and Game Boy Color and high price kinda lowered my excitement. Kinda like the non-launch versions of the PS3.

That's not true at all. They go more for around $30-50 and more if they're new in box. "

I found 6 for less than $20 on the first page by searching gameboy micro. But I assume these guys may not be as credible as the ones selling at higher prices. Still, if they are that's a really good deal. "
