Game Boy Micro
The Game Boy Micro is four and a half inches wide (10 cm), two inches tall (5 cm), and weighs 2.8 ounces (80g). By far the smallest Game Boy created, it is approximately the same dimensions as an original NES controller pad. Its screen is approximately 2/3 the size of the SP and GBA screens while maintaining the same resolution (240×160 pixels) but now has a higher quality (than original SP, not improved SP) backlit display with adjustable brightness. United States and Canada, except for the 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Game Boy Micro (pictured on the right), included with the system are two additional faceplates which can be swapped to give the system a new look
Game & Watch
Created by game designer Gunpei Yokoi, (who would go on to create the Game Boy) each Game & Watch features a single game to be played on an LCD screen in addition to a clock, an alarm, or both. It was the earliest Nintendo product to garner major success.
