What do you guys think is the best soccer game on gba?
Damn all of you who posted pictures.
I just ordered the Famicom version AND the silver one...
but I guess it's ok since they were so cheap on play-asia anyways.
Also felt like playing pokemon for the first time in many many years (I played the blue and red when they came out) when I saw that mudkip on gbm picture. Guess I'll have to get my hands on one of those newer pokemon games.

Hi, this is my first post here at GAF. I've just seen this GBM Love thread and couldn't resist 
so, here is my collection:
Silver GameBoy Micro (European).
This is the one I actually use to play In pretty good condition as I bought it the day of the release in Europe.
Blue, Green & Pink GameBoy Micros (European).
The boxes are a bit scratched, but I bought them at such a low price that I couldn't complain. The actual GBMs are completely new.
Black GameBoy Micro (Japanese).
I love this one. A full black GBM was only released in Japan. The american model was released with a silver faceplate (and the silver one with a black faceplate). I still have to get those ones.
Famicom Edition (Japanese).
A beautiful model released to celebrate Mario's 20th Anniversary in Japan.
20th Anniversary Edition (American).
Basically the same as the Japanese edition with the exception of the HappyMario seal of the back. This one doesn't have it.
Pokemon Center Limited Edition GameBoy Micro (Japanese).
Metallic red & black colored model with a silhouette of Pikachu
Final Fantasy IV Limited Edition GameBoy Micro /w Final Fantasy IV game (Japanese).
Beautiful model with an original faceplate designed by Yoshitaka Amano and a Final Fantasy seal in the back.
Mother 3 Limited Edition GameBoy Micro /w Mother 3 game (Japanese).
The special edition features a red metallic body, a red protective cover with the Mother 3 logo, a 'aged' Mother 3 faceplate, a copy of the game, and a Franklin Badge - one of the in-game items from Mother 2.
That's it! I hope you like it

Those are freaking AMAZING pictures.
Could you take a picture of the pink GBM with the black faceplate and vice versa?

Please tell me what camera you used to take those beautiful close up pictures.

Thanks!
I will take it this weekend, no prob. It sounds like a good color mix.Martial Loh said:
Mmm I'm not sure, but I believe it was sold only at the Pokemon Center and for a limited time. I think you still can find it in eBay.
GauntletFan said:
I couln't agree more with you. It's my favorite handheld by far.

XDDD LOL!

I use a Panasonic Lumix LX2. It was the compact camera thas was closest to a big SLR one. I needed something really portable. It has a great Leica lens (in fact, the LX2 is the exact same camera as the Leica D-Lux 3, just with different branding and $100 dollars less if you buy the Panasonic), manual controls, a great macro and an amazing panoramic ccd (16:9).

Awesome photo set, Arturo.
I still love my Famicom Micro. I haven't been using it as much lately, as I've finally been digging into my DS and PSP backlog, but the entire GB Micro line still one of the sexiest handheld systems ever. It was nice to be able to use a handheld system that actually did fit in a jacket pocket.

Nice work with this thread, it's totally making me want to buy a Gameboy Micro. Wish I could get my hands on that Mother 3 one...

Darnit Arturo, you're gonna make me start collecting these things. My problem at this point is going to be finding ones that are in box and as good condition as those.
Anywho, I have a silver one with black faceplate I play and my Famicom version on the way that I don't even plan on opening. Collectible!

Nintendo's online store, assuming they still sell them. Or you can go big and just get the silver on black one too like I did a while back. There are four more faceplates actually (two per micro), but the later lower priced micro packages don't come with them. Not a huge deal unless you're an obsessive completionist (...I have them).maximumzero said:
And looking at Arturo's pics, apparently only the US ones got that damn barcode/serial number strip on the back. That only comes to mind cause the clear plastic on top kinda eventually rubbed off on mine, then I worked off the barcode/number for some reason I don't remember (it was either sticky or getting smeared I think). Now I just have a white box left from that.
Did they ever make an all (or nearly all) white micro?
I started playing mine again a few days ago, I still feel this is the best piece of hardware Nintendo has ever created. And yes the dpad is one of the best ever created, too bad the DS lite and Wii ones are such a step back.
Holy crap, seeing all of the pics of the Micros makes me want to go out and buy more and more. Right now, I only have the black Mirco which I picked up during Christmas 2006 because they were so dang cheap ($40). Nintendo should have set them at $50 from the get-go and then it could have been a lot more successful.
Successful or not, the Mirco is indeed a thing of beauty. At the moment, I'm living in Japan and I sometimes see the FFIV Micro set and am always tempted to buy it. Hopefully before the end of this year it will be mine.

Quick question, if I get a European GBM, it should charge with the US charger, right?

But are you using the US charger or did you get a UK charger and still needed the converter?Fewr said:
Actually, I've got an American PSP, and a Japanese GB Micro and DS.
The Japanese GB Micro charger says:
INPUT: AC100V 50/60Hz 7VA
OUTPUT: DC5.2V 320mA
PSP charger says:
INPUT: 100V~240V 0.3A 50/60Hz
OUTPUT: 5V - 2A
The DS charger differs a bit, but it's basically the same as what the GB Micro says. All I know is that The Micro and the DS need the converter whereas the PSP doesn't.
