Movies On GameBoy Micro



Nintendo has announced that it will release a new adapter for the Game Boy Micro. Tentatively named Play-Yan Micro, the adapter will let the handhelds play back MP4 video and MP3 audio files from SD memory cards.

Though it will only be released for Japan at this time, I am being hopeful of a release in the States, then later Australia. The GB Micro's clear bright screen should make it perfect for viewing movies, though there is the drawback of the 2 inch size. The console's small iPod Mini size should also make a great mp3 player.



As you can see, the Micro produces a much sharper and brighter image than the GBA SP. Below are more pictures of the Micro and new Play-Yan.

Very nifty gadget, if the Micro was a little cheaper I'd get one just for watching movies.

Reggie: "you'll be more amazed at the price"

turns out to be $99, $30 short of a DS.
