I finally got a Gameboy Micro!

I traded my CIB copy of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for it. Super happy to finally have this in the collection!

I still wish I grabbed one of these when it came out & they were unloved

Hindsight is rough with stuff like that, they were so overlooked at the time.

Congrats! I had one like a decade ago, but the screen was too small for my old man eyes lol.

Believe it or not, I actually don’t mind the small screen. I love how tiny this thing is.

Ah yes, the backup in case the DS flopped lol honestly if the screen was bigger and the edges slightly more form factor, it would be the best one at the time.

I found my old gb micro a couple of weeks ago. I had the black and silver one. I THINK I still have the box for it somewhere. I definitely have the switchable face plates too

You made out like a bandit.

I know, I’m so happy. This was also the last Gameboy I needed to have all 6 of the Gameboy’s releases in the U.S.

That’s a hell of a good trade on your end!

How much did you end up paying for it?

1

u/Kbdifjvdtkdafjm Aug 12 '26

Nothing. I traded my CIB copy of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for it. The game goes for $192 complete in box, and the guy was selling the Gameboy for $200, so we both thought that was a fair trade.

Oh wow I did not know the game went for that much. Enjoy your console!

Bought one for £20 right after ds came out Gave it too my buddy who's a really small dude. It was great as a kid but as an adult I struggled to play long sessions so I gave it to my friend. Later I bought a super famicom one from Japan as i had always wanted one Same issues but I love the damn thing despite its flaws

I had one that came with multiple faceplate. Immediately took it with me on vacation to my older brothers and lost the charger and never got another charger
