Where can I get a charger for this?

The charger, book, and box are included in the package, Jason. If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know. Thanks for joining us. I hope that you have an enjoyable

Can it be lit from the back?

The answer is yes The system is pretty good at working. It is also a device I would recommend as a collector or of course as a gaming device. Although you can carry it on your neck too, it is the right amount of compact that doesn't make a bulge in your pocket if you carry it that way.

What is the reason for the high price? The price of almost $500 is still too high for a system you can buy Could you please give me some more information?

Hey Ryan, ummm, yeah the systems are fine or pretty close to fine. The scratched-up (and dropped/nicked corner) systems and screens that are available for less (with even worse screens) are less expensive. The prices are mostly based on the condition of the items. For $500, it would probably be in mint condition if there is a $500 on Amazon, it would be sealed in its box. Thank you kindly

The dents and bends are visible
3/5

You do not need a charger. When I woke up the next morning, I found this had arrived My excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I opened the box to discover that the charger was missing and the unit was bent and dented. Upon reading the product description, I found the following to be stated There is a possibility that one of the following is missing In the manual, on the cover art, or on the package. Your bonus is already redeemed if you have already redeemed the package. The cable that comes with the product when you purchase it is a given, unless they specify otherwise, so it's assumed that it comes with a cable. I used foam and a knife to gently pry open or bend the bend in the unit, so that game would fit into it. The dents and bends on the unit were over the cartridge port, so I could not even insert a game. There's no need to worry about it. Until I get a charger I won't be able to play the game. Make a favor for yourself make sure you spend the extra $5-$10 I'm giving it a 10 because it's of a quality greater than "acceptable" and comes with a charger, too. Since the last time I made a bad purchase on Amazon, it's been a long time. For the future, I'm probably going to stick with trusted sellers. In the photo, it's bent back up a bit after I snapped it. It would have been better if I took a picture.

Be sure to contact the seller before you make a purchase
3/5

In my limited exposure to this purchase, I can only say that I'm However, the item that was advertised included a charger, which I did not receive in my package. I understand that it is somewhat on the rarer end and that contributes to the price. display unit itself is dusty and dirty, the game slot is bent, the frame is scratched up and the paint is missing in several locations, and the power switch has been faulty. It would have been nice to test the battery to see if it lasted for a reasonable amount of time, but I did not receive the charger advertised, and I am waiting on several replacement parts as well as an aftermarket charger.

In terms of the unit itself, I would have considered the price to be acceptable considering its capability to read cartridges, keep on working (it had about 10 minutes left to run after arrival of the unit) Cleaning a unit should be the seller's responsibility, but anyone can do it so the cleanliness of the unit isn't a big deal at all. The charger and the case would have been fine, but if it didn't come with those, I most likely would have been okay. Long story short, if you are planning to buy something from this seller, contact them first to make sure you get what you expect.

It might be the perfect handheld game console
5/5

It looks like they're not getting any smaller in a world where handheld consoles keep getting more powerful. Unlike the Nintendo DS-2 or the Nintendo DS-3, the original Nintendo DS was big and bulky. DSi comes with a big name and will be tough to fit inside a pocket. The Sony PSP, on the other hand, is thinner and longer, like the DSi, and it also fits easily into a pocket. It looks as if the screen is scratched. A handheld gaming device must consider the portability factor at the top of the list. The Micro was designed to meet precisely that need. It's true that the Game Boy Advance is essentially a dead console now that new titles are no longer being developed for it. However, there are still some gems available, and often for very little Having said that, we are left with the actual machine. I like that it's small and handy at the same time. Keeping your thumbs over the face of the machine will not cause cramps, but if you rotate them in a certain way, it can cause them to cramp up. You do not notice the screen size unless you are playing right next to someone playing a GBA game on a DS, because the colors are so crisp and the screen is so bright (you can adjust the brightness if you're in a dark room). This design of the modular faceplate is especially smart because it lets you remove the faceplate if you need to replace it in case there are more scratches on the screen than you prefer. You can keep your screen almost perfectly perfect for an indefinite period of time if you have this ability. As well as changing your machine's appearance, you can do the following For dressy occasions, silver is the color to wear, camouflage is for outdoor activities and sports, and red is for playing indoors. You can choose the color of your choice or just go with whatever you like most. The Micro has a headphone jack (unlike the GBA SP), so you can use headphones instead of the tiny speaker holes, and the speaker is quite weak. This is the online version The off switch is placed well into the bottom of the machine so as not to be accidentally hit. (I'm thinking about ), but the volume control is on a button The volume/brightness can't be changed when the unit is off, since it's a button-based system instead of a slider. I still think that the Gameboy Micro is a great choice as a handheld console, even in an era where the technologies have improved. I have finally found a portable unit that I can actually take with me wherever I go. Consider buying a handheld if you plan to use it primarily for the following purposes Here is The- If you decide to go, this might be your best bet. It is unlikely that you will ever use anything else at home besides a handheld, so you might as well get a DS Lite, the DSi XL (or the 3DS when more games are released) or the.

The item is in great condition for the price
3/5

It comes with a charger and is at a great price, but I received mine with noticeable scratches and stickers on the front and The item works, and I think a new faceplate can be purchased, but I would have preferred if the item description indicated how it was originally sold (i. e. A 'good' rating for a product). I still think this is a great gadget.

The advertised item was not the one that arrived
3/5

Despite the fact that I was advertised a Micro, I received another. In place of the BLACK one, I received one that was FIRE. I don't think it's a major issue there's just a difference between what I ordered and what I received. The works dine otherwise came with SMB Advanced 4, or SMB3, which was unexpected and is one of my favorite Mario games so that was a Yet, I still did not get what I had ordered.

I love it and my cat does too! I received my package very quickly and it was very well packaged! I received everything listed on the invoice
5/5

Although it is scratched and dented a little, the Gameboy is still in perfect working order. The screen isn't too small that it's difficult to read. The speaker has a surprising volume. It's a great idea to get one.

I am so glad you like My first exposure to a Gameboy Micro was through my sister
5/5

However, when I saw it available at such a great price, I thought, I love to play games, so that's fine with me. Yes, it arrived in a timely manner. It is gorgeous. Even though it was very well kept, you could tell it had been used. A very slight scratch is visible on the screen however, it The battery came charged so I could test it out immediately after taking it out of its box. This is brilliant!.

In terms of internalization, no
3/5

Upon purchase, my GBA Micro was in excellent physical condition with very little wear, all the buttons worked perfectly and there were no cracks or chips. However, I had charged it for a couple of hours before using it, but then it would just die within 5 minutes It was still charging after 10 minutes, but the lights would turn off after a few seconds whenever I put it into the wall.
