  • Can Nintendo's Gameboy Micro play the system's most unique game cartridges? Will they even fit? What is the comfort factor when playing these odd-shapes carts? Are these games bigger than the console itself?
    In this video I insert the most special cartridges into my GB Micro to see if this super small handheld is compatible with these unique games.

    Let me know what you think. Is there another odd shaped cart out there that will, or will not, work with the GBA Micro? What other weird carts would you like to see play on the GBA Micro? ASMR.

    Technically the e-Reader CAN fit to Micro, but the only downside is that it needs to be the original Japanese e-Reader AGB-010 model (that's the one without the link connector, the one that was released in US and Australia is the e-Reader+)

      Cool, good to know. I have seen those Mp3 carts but don't own one so I couldn't include in this video.

    4:28 you should’ve chose the SP/DS option since the cartridge would go into the bottom just like the Micro 🤷🏽‍♂️ it wouldn’t matter

    There is a solution to play all Game Boy and Game Boy Color games on a Game Boy Micro: a GBA cartridge-shaped flash cartridge that has a huge library of Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games ported on to one flash cartridge. The GBA cartridge-shaped flash cartridge can also work on a GBA and a GBA SP as well. It makes up for why the Game Boy Micro wasn't fully compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges.

    Gb Micro is my fave! I usually will use my og gba and sp for trading and have a gba modded with an ips screen. Honestly the IPS does make it feel "fake" but it does come in handy playing topsy turvy etc. with a backlit screen. The micro turned my most used sp into least used. I love the shoulder buttons on it. xP

      The GBM is just a crippled GBA that can't play GBC or GB games with a worse screen and made for toddler hands. It seems more like a scam than an actual product.

    Montion control games need to be configured at GBA SP mode, otherwise, the directional sensors would be inverted. Thats why a GBC game with motion control like Kirby Tilt & Tumble, only works properly at a classic GBA model.

    • @ZackGaz
      @ZackGaz  Рік тому

      Yes, exactly. And Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble is now on the Switch Online Gameboy service and the motion control works well there, even when using a Pro Controller. Nice to see Nintendo bring forgotten game back!

      @@logicaloverdrive8197 I appreciate you leaving this cool comment. I just pre-ordered an Analogue Pocket myself and really looking forward to it. If you can't find a physical cart of Drill Dozer, it is available on the Wii U Virtual Console and rumble is supported through the controller. Not exactly the same but a less costly alternative.

    OK video. You really, really should have shown if the motion controls worked because the cartridge normally would have been at the top. I never had one of those games, but I can imagine the sensor data being rotated 180 degrees would cause problems without some inverse calibration procedure. EDIT: 4:32 seems to be one such procedure.
    The Game Boy Micro (GBM) was, IMO, the worst Game Boy ever released. The first one had technical limitations and was a first run, but even it was better than this. GBM was released AFTER the near-perfect GBASP, but didn't have backwards compatibility, didn't have the same link cable (WHY?!!), was built for toddler's hands, tiny screen, and was generally pointless. Kudos on fitting an already-portable system into an even smaller form factor, but it's so uncomfortable. There's a reason nobody uses teeny tiny cell phones like in Zoolander. I mean the GBASP was a bit cramped for my hands. This thing would have been unplayable for me.
    This is like a car that can only drive on highways.

      Hey, thanks for watching and the comment.
      I believe WarioWare Twisted has an option to reverse the controls so it can be played on original GBA units or bottom mount SP/Micro. I think it asks you this when you first boot up the game, if I remember correctly. However, Kirby Tilt'n Tumble on GBC didn't have this foresight so the controls will be reversed (but works fine on GBC or original GBA hardware).
      Agreed on the Gameboy Micro. It really is only for collectors as actually playing it isn't comfortable. The screen is also very small, just a little bigger than a postage stamp although it is nice and bright. It is nice that it has a headphone jack but the proprietary charging/link cable is a major inconvenience. Swapping faceplates seems like a cool idea but that never went anywhere. I'll stick with my AGS101 or a modded IPS screen in the original GBA.
