Game Boy Micro
Barely bigger than a credit card, the Game Boy Micro 
is the smallest multi-unit handheld video game console anywhere. More gimmick than substance, the Micro is Nintendo's effort to make playing handhelds in public look cool. Priced at around $100, the Micro is less expensive than the DS but more costly than the larger GameBoy Advance, which runs the same hardware specifications. The system is best suited for those with little hands, but it's a helpful companion to anyone who wants a truly tiny, yet powerful little game system for their pocket. With a simplistic, two-button interface and three interchangeable faceplates, you can't go wrong getting this toy for a kid. The 2" LCD screen may seem too small, but thanks to a backlit screen and radiant color, the images come across crystal clear.
The Micro plays all GameBoy Advance games, and is a worthy competitor to the Advance. While its greatest asset is its portability, this can also be a drawback. Long hours of play can cramp your hands and wrists.
