| Game Boy, created by Nintendo,
remains the most popular, hand-held game console in the world.
Famous rivalries between Game Boy and other heavy-hitter
electronic game-makers clearly only spur this electronics giant
to previously unscaled heights of portable video game
capability. This constant one-upmanship keeps technology on the
cutting edge and consumers winning at every turn.
As of this writing, there are two popular Game Boy systems,
the Game Boy Advance and the Game Boy Micro. In terms of actual
capabilities, the two systems are quite similar. Aside from
being able to adjust the Micro screen to account for varying
levels of atmospheric light, the main differences between the
two are aesthetic.
Game Boy Micro is designed to appeal to more
"image-conscious" game-playing consumers. It's smaller and
sleeker than the Advance, just slightly larger than an iPod.
Plus, consumers can customize its appearance with detachable
face plates.
Game cartridge compatibilities can vary. All Game Boy Advance
cartridges will work with Game Boy Micro. However, while one can
play original Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges on the
Advance, they will not work on the Micro. However, for
style-conscious gamers, this lack of backward compatibility may
hardly register on their back-lit Micro screens. |
