Is this the pinnacle of handheld gaming?

yeah gotta say, the micro is cool but the psp is the pinnacle

DS phat for sure has the best dpad of the GBA compatible handhelds. I've actually been considering taking the top screen off of one, installing a resistor and running it as a pure bottom screen GBA.

I alreadg have an IPS modded GBA though and its the best screen you can get hands down. It makes the AGS 101 and Micro look dim as fuck.

Where can I get one of these?

No it's uncomfortably small
Get a GBA with a backlight mod or an SP

you can buy GBA shells in any color imaginable nowadays. they are a really easy mod job too if you want to put an SP backlit screen on it. just need small screwdrivers and a soldering kit

what if I want one with an ips screen and a backlight and a custom shell like that? do people sell these somewhere?

etsy stores do custom gameboys, some of them look pretty cool too

I installed the IPS screen myself using this kit.

Are those modded GBAs really that good? My silver GBA SP seems pretty much perfect for me.

I don't get why anybody would want a Micro thought. It's too tiny to comfortably play anything intense with. Would not use unless I was trying to sneak vidya into prison inside my ass or something.

for me i just really like the feel of the standard GBA. the micro is way too small even for my tiny hands, and im just too wary of bad hinges to use an SP

SP were great as a kid, I tried playing on one when replaying some GBA games and got hand cramps. The OG GBAs wide body is much more comfortable to hold. I also personally prefer the big shoulder buttons and left sided start/select. I'll give the d-pad to the SP though.

Probably the comfiest dpad/stick thing ever.

i knew a kid who had one of these but i never knew what it was called and thought he just had a chinese knockoff gameboy.

Experimental thumbsticks from this era were weird but unexpectedly good, in some cases. In particular I love the thumbstick on the Saturn 3D Pad. It's absolutely unique.

i dont even like dragon ball, but the colors on this thing are just nice

Frankly my hands cramp less when I use my micro than with my SP.

GBA CLASSIC FUCKIN WHEN?

not before the N64

>can't play gbc
thats where you're wrong my friend. I play tons of gbc roms off my old flash carts.

That's an emulator, and it doesn't work as well as playing GBC games directly.

It does for me. Pocketnes was based. I still have my gameboy pocket anyways. The compact feeling was the payoff otherwise.

Only cool kids use the gameboy micro for their keychain

that looks beautiful

Yeah so it can get fucked up in a few years with no spare parts available?
