The Game Boy Micro is the last of six in the Game Boy franchise and a redesigned version of the original Game Boy Advance. It is much smaller than the original Game Boy Advance (and GBA SP), but can still play all GBA games. It cannot play Game Boy Color games, or the original Game Boy games because it lacked the Z80 processor to play those games. It was designed with a very small screen and a powerful backlight. This makes Game Boy Advance games seem to be in HD quality, and prevents reflections on the screen's surface. Backwards compatibility with the Game Boy Color was sacrificed in order to make the Game Boy Micro smaller and more affordable. It also doesn't work with the Game Boy Advance cable link.
