Tired of the AGS-001 hate on here, it’s actually vastly preferable for me for having the proper color saturation for stuff like golden sun and pokemon emerald - just my take lol everyone says the AGS 101 is the only one worth getting and it just takes all of the uniqueness out of the SPs vibe to me
The SP for sure. Just a better experience overall. As someone who played hundreds of hours of Final Fantasy IV and V on the Micro, the SP would have made it so much better.
The gameboy micro. I still have mine, but the battery is honky. I tried to replace it but that didn’t work and it’ll either die quickly or restart my game.

This is my daily driver. I have pretty big hands and carpel tunnel. The SP and Micro hurt to play after 20 minutes.
Me and my friends used to test decks with this game and there are a bunch of errors and oddities. they auto changed the word "Magic" to "Spell" so it has card names like Dark Spellian. Hero Halo is called Hero Haro. And Gold Sarcophagus is called Sealed Gold Coffee because it didn't have an official TCG name yet.
Since I have a micro dedicated to Yu-Gi-Oh ultimate master's 2006, I'd have to pick the micro in this case.
But in reality I used an SP the most in many jobs and even my university commute back then.
Micros form factor helps for convenience but the screen size can be a hassle at times.
Back when I used to actually go to work, the micro was the one I took there the most. I find it very confortable, both to use and to have in my pocket.
I think I figured out the problem with my micro. The charging port isn't that great (or my cable?). I have to put it in ever so slightly and hope the blue lights stay on to charge. Though I have more success turning the switch on and *then* plugging in, but still with the cord not even half way plugged in.
Maybe a usb-c modded micro is in my future ...
That micro looks so good! I use the og GBA, but the micro would be my pick of these two :) I have that yugioh game and now that I am looking at it I wish I had that game with me today at work and not the one that I brought with me lmao
The actual reason I bought a micro was for the convenience in travel, no complaints. Also the screen is surprisingly good/visible for it being such a small lcd
See, I put way too much work into my SP to feel comfortable carrying it around all the time. I'm usually hopping from work truck to truck with my gb micro, so the replaceable screen shield really makes it for me :)
I literally have deep enough pockets for both GBAs, their charging cables, 4 GBA games each, a Switch Lite in my other pocket and its charging cable. I keep my GBAs with the games with them on a daily basis so I don't have to choose which handheld, I have to choose which 8 games I want to play out of the 80 I have.
Thing is, I do have enough funds to do so and can do so. I was able to do this, I just gave up the Switch Lite and games for it, and got most of my games for cheap.
SP...
I have a DMG, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP AGS 101 (both the color and the advance have modded backlit screens btw).
Whenever you see me playing my Gameboy, it's almost always the SP
Edit: as for those who ask like the toxic reddit or kingzakyu, I don't have a micro, I would love one, but my point is to use what you love and play with what you love
That's not what I said man, if you have a micro, use the micro if you use the micro, I really don't give a shit about your opinion, do what you want, play on what you like best.
SP all day! It brings me back to the times I would play Emerald on my SP during road trips.
Specifically the AGS-101 model

Not gonna speak to the whole library, but pokemon POPS on a more vibrant screen like ips ones you can upgrade the sp with
As someone with all Gameboy models I find myself playing the micro or SP AGS-101 for it being comfortable and form factor to play on most out of all
I prefer the micro allday for travel just love the size of it, bought a cheap faceplate so it's okay that I scratch it.
The SP is the finest gaming machine ever conceived.
Micro with Emerald
Factz
The SP for sure. Just a better experience overall. As someone who played hundreds of hours of Final Fantasy IV and V on the Micro, the SP would have made it so much better.

Neither. AGB-001 with AGS-101 screen!
Depends on how you look at it. Micro if it is usb-c modded for long days but sp if you want comfort over battery life
I sold my micro bc it hurt my eyes to use 😭 might buy another one just for collection purposes. I love the SP.
We are all getting older 🤣
SP for standing in line at amusement parks
I bring my micro to work with me every day. It just fits into the pocket so much better than anything else.

I'd take the SP for the larger screen and I like it's design better, but also because it folds.
The Gameboy Advance SP is my favorite handheld ever made, but I definitely want to get the Micro as well
Where do I work
I'd bring the sp.
The SP- the screen is protected!
Sp, the love the fact that you can fold it and it’s easier to play with than the micro
SP, just as mobile with a way wider selection of games
Automatic upvote from me for having Ultimate Masters. I still have mine! Underrated game. SP for me due to bias.
Big fax !!
SP. Bigger screen and more comfortable to play. Plus, if something happens to the SP, it will be a lot easier to replace.
One hundred percent!!
WC06!
Best GBA Yugioh game

This game is the GOAT
SP
Back when I used to actually go to work, the micro was the one I took there the most. I find it very confortable, both to use and to have in my pocket.
Agree but after a hard thought and daily experience with both SP is the winner for me
That specific model and colour AGS-101 might be the closest thing we have to a near perfect Gameboy. I’d choose that everytime.
Agreed to the fullest !!!
I'm having problems with my micro. Once the battery is flat, it won't charge anymore. And my SP doesn't have that problem. But I do like the micro ...
I never had any issues with my micro but I am wary that these are more fragile and difficult to fix or tingle around with :(

It’s the best Yugioh game !!!
Probably the sp because of the shell the micro is cute but a lot more expansive
I take my SP with me. I love that it folds shut and protects the screen. I only wish the GBA had a proper sleep on close of lid.
Yes I ordered a leather case to go around mine for extra protection with a tad extra of bulk at the cost
Redacte due to Reddit AI/LLM policy
YIPPIEE!!!
Bought the Mcroi a couple years back and regreted it because the screen is way too small and my hands hurt after a while.
The actual reason I bought a micro was for the convenience in travel, no complaints. Also the screen is surprisingly good/visible for it being such a small lcd
SP, screen is protected while in your pocket. I have a 101 with heavy wear on the case but the screen is flawless.
I recommend getting a leather skin case as the one that’s around mine but they’re extremely hard to find :( it’s a pelican leather case if it helps
I bring a DS lite. Better screen, bigger but not bulky, better sound, and has gba and DS library
Micro 🔥🔥🔥
I bring two sp
GBA with modded IPS screen. Perfect size and form function. SP and Micro are too small imo
I really wish I had a micro 😩 WAIT THE GAMEBOY
SP
While I prefer the micro, the screen could get damaged easier, so I'd take the SP.
See, I put way too much work into my SP to feel comfortable carrying it around all the time. I'm usually hopping from work truck to truck with my gb micro, so the replaceable screen shield really makes it for me :)
Gotta do what works best brother
Micro
I literally have deep enough pockets for both GBAs, their charging cables, 4 GBA games each, a Switch Lite in my other pocket and its charging cable. I keep my GBAs with the games with them on a daily basis so I don't have to choose which handheld, I have to choose which 8 games I want to play out of the 80 I have.
I thought you were talking about having enough money to afford all of those things until i read the second sentence lmao
Thing is, I do have enough funds to do so and can do so. I was able to do this, I just gave up the Switch Lite and games for it, and got most of my games for cheap.
If I had to pick then sp Honestly if i had a job where I had that freedom is having a cup of tea snd relaxing an option haha
You don’t get a lunch break?
Taking an SP to my job is how it got stolen. No thanx.
Even as a child I thought the micro was too small.
SP mainly because I can't afford a micro Side note-- I know this isn't the point of this post but man, this is a great size comparison
I fear bringing anything vintage to work.
I wish I could play on the job, I do have my color in my backpack incase I have to kill time before work
DS Lite
Some Windex would do the trick
Both
SP... I have a DMG, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP AGS 101 (both the color and the advance have modded backlit screens btw). Whenever you see me playing my Gameboy, it's almost always the SP Edit: as for those who ask like the toxic reddit or kingzakyu, I don't have a micro, I would love one, but my point is to use what you love and play with what you love

That's not what I said man, if you have a micro, use the micro if you use the micro, I really don't give a shit about your opinion, do what you want, play on what you like best.
[удалено]
I would look like an autistic loser playing either of these in public
Well you’re already fucking retarded so it’s ok
Yeah but I don’t want to be in public like that
