This is what I dont understand, if the Nintendo DS is going down to
$129 and it will be coming with a game and the GBA micro is going to
cost 89 dollars, who the hell is going to by the GBA micro? If you
save another 40 dollars you get a much better system that still plays
all the GBA games... There are some great GBA games, but it seems to
me the platform is winding down and the great portable games are
coming out for the DS now, so how does Nintendo think they are going
to sell this?

Exactly. DS can play only GBA games. Micro can still play all older
GB and GBC games which DS can't play at all. Plus DS don't have
multiplayer support for GBA.

That is a good point I didn't think of that. The SP is small too.. I
havent tried one yet, but I almost think the micro is too small as far
as the screen goes.

Not likely. The free Mario promotion will probably end with the price drop.

Assuming Metroid Hunters *ever* comes out... I thought it was supposed
to be out back in January or so.

I think that there will be a $150 bundle w/ Metroid Hunters or $130
for just the DS.

Multiplayer. You can't play GBA games in Multiplayer on the DS.
Personally, I'm happy with my GBASP, but I can see the appeal of the Micro, if
only as a niche product. It doesn't really cost Nintendo a whole lot to make, so
why the hell not? It's an amusement.
