Game Informer gets a GB Micro

[Smoke]

Our Friday morning began with the arrival of a brand spankin' new Game Boy Micro. We're going to be putting it through its paces all day long, but for now, we're giving you a truckload of comparison shots, and a few tidbits that you probably didn't know about Nintendo's newest handheld.



1. The removable faceplates include the screen, so if you scratch up the screen of your Micro, you can get a new faceplate. This also means, be very careful when you're removing or replacing to not get finger prints on the actual screen, or the back of the faceplate's screen.

2. To remove the faceplate, you can use your finger nails to loosen the right side of the screen, but a pin or needle needs to be used on the right side of the screen to pop the screen out entirely.

3. Current Game Boy Advance link cables, battery chargers, and wireless adapters will not work with the Micro.

4. The start and select buttons light up blue when the Micro is charged, and red when the battery is fading.

5. The volume controls also double as the screen brightness controls. By pressing the left shoulder button you'll be able to adjust screen brightness.

That's all we have for right now. Check back later when we finish up our play test.

Have any questions about the unit? Hit this thread in our forums, and we'll address them!

About the removable faceplates including the screen: Praise be Nintendo!

I was hoping this would be the case but was worried that Nintendo would overlook this. This means you can actually put this thing in your pocket without it getting scratched to hell.
