Any GBA Micro fans out there?

    I was always amazed at the failure of the GBA micro; I bought one and love it, it's truly portable and great for taking out and having a 5 minute game of Zelda. Is there any else out there who has one and still uses it?

    It's a great GBA but it was launched after the DS at the time when GBA was dying and new consoles like xbox 360 were being launched.

    IIRC it wasn't cheap either. I loved playing FFIV advance on the one I had.

    I wanted to get one when they were going cheap but didn't have the money at the time. I've only got a GBA Advance I got at launch so it's annoying not having a backlight. Need a new DS as well since my launch models touch screen has seen better days after some furious Ouendan playing.

    Tell Santa that you want a DSi with Hori screen protector

    I don't want a DSI though. I like my GBA games too much. Also I'm a bit too old for santa. I'll be lucky if i get my video capture card that I want.

    I've a few GB Micros now, including the famicom edition, that I got sealed in its box in a gamestop in the states over the summer. Apparently it had been sitting in the display case for a few years completely ignored. Had to go on a 60+ mile round trip to pick it up though!

    I have two of the GBAMicro, my son and I have one each, of course he's six and has no appreciation for the glory that it represents.
    I, on the other hand, have a nice flashcart installed and have a large collection of Nes and GB/GBC games running on it, which is nice!

    It is a cracking machine but the DSlite killed it completely, within weeks of it's launch GBA games were being cancelled at various 3rd party companies, pity but technology marches on.

    Love playing my Sega arcade classics collection, Outrun on the go, excellent!

    The flash cart with nes games on the nes Gba micro would be awesome.

    Yes, I have 2 myself and love them. I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the screen is, and how I wasn't squinting to see it.
