All right, Micro fans, I'm here to be convinced this is the best system to play GBA games on.
I have a list of GBA games that I've been meaning to play for some years now, and I'm on a mission to allocate proper hardware to get maximum enjoyment out of these games. I have more or less written off the Game Boy Advance SP because I hate the form factor and there's no headphone jack without an adapter. Which means this is a battle between the Game Boy Micro and an original Game Boy Advance properly modded with the SP's backlit screen.
Cost is not a factor. I'm not looking for the lowest entry barrier. I want the best experience possible.
I understand the superior pixel density of the Micro, but that screen looks goddamn microscopic. I have never seen a Micro in person and really don't have a proper understanding of how small the screen really is. But in direct competition with the original GBA, I don't know if I can stand the size. I'll be playing games like Fire Emblem, Metroid, and Castlevania, and I feel like a sense of scope (even handheld) benefits these games.
I want to hear opinions, comparisons, and possibly even see a Micro next to an original GBA in a representative photograph. I will leave this thread either proven right, or a new inductee to the Cult of Micro.
