This tiny update to the highly successful Game Boy Advance SP will hit store shelves in the U.S. on September 19. It could readily tap into the adult market, because the Micro is completely compatible with the 700 gaming titles built for the GBA. Nintendo has at least gotten the design right. The new device is so sleek, elegant, and stylish that an adult woman (who isn't even a gamer) told me she wouldn't mind being seen in public with it.
