Nintendo Gameboy Micro Reviews
The reviews are out and generally they are positive except for the $100 price-tag.
The graphics appeared much crisper and I had no trouble keeping up with the action on the small screen, it didn’t feel cramped at all. Again, this was only after about five minutes of game play, so my feelings may change in the next week or two. - Kotaku
The GB Micro's chief feature is its incredible size, but the thing that we find almost more impressive is its screen. Vastly superior to the GBA SP screen, the brightness on this tiny doodad is even brighter than the Nintendo DS, and approaching the luminance of the PSP. (You can even crank up the brightness way past the default setting.) Although it was a little too foggy today in San Francisco to test it properly, the GB Micro didn't seem to wash out in sunlight. The system does seem to have a somewhat strict sweet spot in its viewing angle, shifting colors if you hold it at the wrong angle as LCDs tend to do, but it is only a slight shift unless you are drastically off-angle (and being this small, it's hard to view it that far off-axis and still play.) - IGN
