Take a look at these brand new photos of Game Boy Micro (which was first announced by Nintendo on Tuesday) and try telling us that there's any sensible way to actually play games on it.

Unless you're a particularly small child, we just don't see how you can negotiate the D-pad and buttons without being made to feel like an enormous clod with shovels for hands.

As for the screen, Engadget reports that it's "squint-inducing" and "definitely pushing the limits of how small a screen on a portable game console can get and still be useable". Hmmm.

Meanwhile, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has confirmed that the company has "no plans to discontinue Game Boy Advance SP. We think the two will be compatible."

yeah, i think its too small, after examining it a bit, but it might be fun for just almost novelty like effect, and it would be really kinda neat to make a necklace / holster deal for it and wear it about.
