Game boy micro?

(1/3) > >>

kenshin-dono:
wondered if anyone here liked some retro gaming. I was considering buying a Game boy Advanced micro to play my old GBA games. I want to start playing the fire emblem series from the early games. I dont really want to play it on my DS lite, i figure a GBM would be pretty sweet. I want a NEW one. I hate buying used stuff, especially handhelds. However most of the ones i see on ebay and other places new are the japanese anniversery edition ones. Would those work just fine with US games? I believe theyre region free, but i was more concerned about chargers, ect working with US outlets, and if theres any menu or setup stuff that would be in JP only. Anyone happen to know?

I'm not sure GBAs are region free, actually (though don't quote me on that). And you probably would have problems with the charger too, unless you got an adapter. You shouldn't have to worry about any Japanese menus etc though, if it's anything like the GBA and GBA SD.

Honestly, my advice if you want to play GBA games in this day and age is to get an emulator. VisualBoy Advance is amazing, better than the real thing; it's what I use to play all my old GBA games.

NEKOGAMI YSOUYOROZU, before someone asks.

but seriously though, i bet it can be bought for cheap in your local game stores, check those first.

EDIT: missed the region-free part. I think the gangster's right. although, check your local stores first.
some stores will probably let you test the unit on your games.

The GBA micro is completely region free. If you have a GBA game, it will play it.

I still got my GBA advance and its still running good after 10 years +  ;D
The only bad thing i remember about GBA micro is that you could link up and trade pokemon or have any multiplier fun  :( :'( :(
