The video game console that kicked off the portable gaming trend, Nintendo's GameBoy, just got a little more portable.
Over the years, GameBoy has been improved with the addition of colour. The latest enhancement is a sizable one - the console is now small enough to fit almost anywhere.
The new GameBoy Micro is 10cm x 5cm x 1.8cm and comes with a 5cm back-lit colour LCD.
The Micro is essentially a regular GameBoy, but smaller. As such, it will play all the GameBoy Advance titles - a library of some 700 games, according to Nintendo.
The biggest compromise for the size reduction is the display - which is about half the size of the traditional GameBoy Advance - but nearly all the functionality is there.
The Micro features the same number of buttons on the front and retains the L and R buttons on the top of the device.
The good news about the Micro's price is that Nintendo is going after the mass market with a suggested price tag in of US$99, which is about the same as the GameBoy SP.
