Game Boy Micro to Ship September 19

Nintendo is set to launch its new miniaturized Game Boy Micro on September 19 for a retail price of $99.99 USD. The sleek reincarnation of Nintendo's popular portable game system made its first appearance at E3 this year, and measures a measly 4 inches wide, 2 inches long and 0.7 inches thin.

Game Boy Micro will come in silver and black variants, each with three removable faceplates. "The incredibly small size of Game Boy Micro belies the powerful technology shrunk into a hip new casing with an intensely bright screen; and at under $100, it's a must-have," said George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing.
