Product Description

Product Description

The Game Boy Micro is a leap forward in portable gaming. In this tiny, cell-phone sized body you have the same technology that powers the popular Game Boy Advance SP. Shorter, thinner and lighter than an SP, it plays all the SP titles on the market. No more need to buy special game cases -- just shove it in your pocket or the cell phone pocket in your backpack when you're done. If you'd like the look of your system to be as cool as thegames you play on it, the new Game Boy Micro is for you. Supports standard headphones Dimensions(WxLxD) - 4 x 2 x 7/10 Color - Black

  • Lithium Ion rechargeable battery
  • Charge lasts 6 to 10 hours; recharging takes approximately 2-1/2 hours
  • 2-inch diagonal screen
  • Resolution: 240 x 160 pixels
  • 512 out of a maximum 32,000 colors
  • TFT with adjustable backlight

From what I’ve seen so far of this purchase I’m left feeling mostly disappointed. I understand that this unit is somewhat on the rarer end and that contributes to the price. However, the item that was advertised included a charger, which I did not receive when my package came. The unit itself is dusty and dirty, the game slot is bent, the frame is scratched up and is missing paint in multiple places, and the power switch is loose. I would test the battery to see if it lasted for a reasonable amount of time, but again I did not receive the charger that was advertised and am currently waiting on an after market charger as well as several replacement parts.For the unit itself the price to me would have been acceptable considering the unit still turns on and can read cartridges (it had about 10 minutes of battery left upon arrival); I believe it should be the seller’s job to clean a unit, anyone can do it really so the cleanliness of the unit isn’t a huge deal. If it had come with the charger and the case was in decent shape I likely would have been fine.Long story short, my advice is if you want to buy something from this seller contact them first to be SURE of what you’re getting.

Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2021
Came in quite good condition, very few scratches or anything. Might be a slight dent in the back but it’s not really noticeable. Kinda peeved that it didn’t come with a charger like it shows in the image, so only 3 stars
