NES SP definetly. I mean, I've never even seen a famicom besides a pic on the internet so having a GB look like it doesn't mean much to me

Plus, the Micro annoys me...

I tried a Micro, it felt like I was trying to play games on a Tic-Tac box. SP hands down.

But I can't use the SP for any extended length of time either, but it's still far less uncomfortble than the Micro.

(oh and watch out for long links next time, OK? It gets a little annoying when you have to scroll side to side to read what people type.

NES SP, atleast you can play Gameboy gams on it if you feel nastalgic. Micro is really for lack of a better term "stupid novelty".

Assuming that the Famicom Micro and NES SP are just case styles, the NES SP, hands down. It brings a bit of old school gaming to a later system. It almost makes me want to...*tear*...oh I promised myself I wouldn't cry in public!

*Runs away crying*

Well if your practicle like a lot of other members here then you have to get a NES SP. Heck even a regular one is fine. The micro is what sparkfist calls it "stupid novelty".

I was atually considering using a micro (once the price goes down to like $20) and somehow attaching it with the smallest gameboy pocket/colour with a normal GBA screen to create a GBX that runs all the gameboy games (GB B/W through GBA)

So it's not stupid novelty, it's actually a great system to portablize (well not portablize more than frankenstein into other portables)

or you could get a sp

anyways, that wouldnt work

It WOULD work, it would just be extremely complicated, difficult, and impractical.

I thuoght a GBA couldn't play GBO games. Something about they had to have a seperate processor for each cartrdige type, so they didn't put a GBO compatibility into it.

yes it does. It has two processors. Only the gbm doesnt. How would you hook up the gbm to the gba screen?

I honestly dont like either.. if they made a micro faceplate of the NES (not famicom) then Id pick that..

Having rather small hands I can actualy play a micro but for now i'm not gonna get one, tho I will most definatly pick one up once they get down to around $60 just because with my GBA flash cart I can play old NES games on the go.

The one thing I do really like about the micro is the faceplates. You scratch up the screen, you just pop the old cover off and put a new one on and wala. Good as new.

I don't have really large hands either, but I still prefer the old big handhelds (Atari Lynx, Sega GameGear) over the small modern ones (gba, gba sp, gb micro, psp, nds). For some reason the big ones cause a lot less discomfort when using them for a prolonged period of time.
But to get back on topic, I do prefer the NES SP, simply because it's bigger than the micro. I do own a SP, just not the NES edition.
