Released only in Japan and even rare over there, this nifty red handheld was only found at the Pokemon Center stores. It has a dark red body and features a black faceplate with a tiny white Pikachu silhoutte in the top right hand corner just above the A and B buttons.
I take my Famicom Anniversary Edition Micro with me practically everywhere today and I still get people looking surprised they’ve never heard nor seen the Micro model before ! I’m very certain the Micro was the least successful model compared to the SP model. I could care less. The Micro is truly a remarkable piece of gadgetry, imho.

Yeah the Micro was awesome, I’ve got the Famicom Anniversary edition too. I keep meaning to buy the alternate faceplate for it which has the Controller 2 design.
I’d use mine a lot more but I can’t find the charger at the moment!
So…does anyone know if Nintendo internally considers the Gameboy Micro a success or a flop?

That’s cute! Perfect gift for my son, I’m pretty sure he’ll be delighted. Do you have an idea how much is this?
These were sold at Pokemon Center New York also. Same Japanese packaging with just an English information sticker on the back.
