It measures about four inches across and weighs under three ounces, and its faceplate pops off so it can be swapped for another design. The two-inch screen is backlit with adjustable brightness, and because the pixels are packed tightly, games like Advance Wars and Golden Sun look very sharp. The layout mirrors the GBA with a D-pad, A and B, L and R, Start and Select, and there is a standard headphone jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it plays, and what it does not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Micro plays Game Boy Advance game paks only. Unlike the original GBA and the GBA SP, it cannot run older Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridges, so Pokemon Red or Link's Awakening DX will not work. That still leaves the whole GBA library, from Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon FireRed to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Metroid: Zero Mission. Multiplayer needs a link cable made for the Micro, because its port is smaller than the one on other GBA models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking over a used Game Boy Micro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the screen for dead pixels or scratches, and make sure the brightness steps up and down. The battery is built in, and its charge life differs from one unit to the next, so it is not something a listing can promise. The Micro uses its own charger, which is not the same plug as the GBA SP or DS. Press every button and check that the cartridge slot holds a game pak firmly. Faceplates and chargers are included only if listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Boy Micro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Boy Advance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandheld\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Boy Advance game paks only, no Game Boy or Game Boy Color games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharges with a Game Boy Micro charger, links with a Micro link cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005 (US launch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan the Game Boy Micro play Game Boy Color games?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Micro plays Game Boy Advance game paks only.
