The '''Game Boy micro''' is [[Nintendo]]'s second redesign of the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It was released in late 2005 and marketed towards the "image conscious" consumer, with emphasis placed on its small size and sleek design. It was available for $99.99 in most stores, although by the end of its lifespan it could be found for only $19.99 brand new. | |||
The Game Boy micro was not as successful as Nintendo hoped it would be. This is commonly attributed to the fact that the console was released after the [[Nintendo DS]], which not only included more advanced features, such as Wi-Fi and true 3D graphics, but itself contained a port to play [[Game Boy Advance]] games. | The Game Boy micro was not as successful as Nintendo hoped it would be.
