Will these unique carts fit in a Gameboy Micro?

Can Nintendo's Gameboy Micro play the system's most unique game cartridges? Will they even fit? What is the comfort factor when playing these odd-shapes carts? Are these games bigger than the console itself?
In this video I insert the most special cartridges into my GB Micro to see if this super small handheld is compatible with these unique games.

Let me know what you think. Is there another odd shaped cart out there that will, or will not, work with the GBA Micro? What other weird carts would you like to see play on the GBA Micro? ASMR.

Technically the e-Reader CAN fit to Micro, but the only downside is that it needs to be the original Japanese e-Reader AGB-010 model (that's the one without the link connector, the one that was released in US and Australia is the e-Reader+)

[@Elvis-qc2ou]

4:28 you should’ve chose the SP/DS option since the cartridge would go into the bottom just like the Micro 🤷🏽‍♂️ it wouldn’t matter

[@martintxo14]

There is also the MP3 player cartidges. Very unique cart and yes, it works with the micro perfectly

[@ZackGaz]

Cool, good to know. I have seen those Mp3 carts but don't own one so I couldn't include in this video. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

There is a solution to play all Game Boy and Game Boy Color games on a Game Boy Micro: a GBA cartridge-shaped flash cartridge that has a huge library of Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games ported on to one flash cartridge. The GBA cartridge-shaped flash cartridge can also work on a GBA and a GBA SP as well. It makes up for why the Game Boy Micro wasn't fully compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges.

[@doublehitzpl9762]

Thanks for that video! I'll always wonder what happen if you insert GB card to GB micro

[@brocksanderson9423]

Thank you so much I adore this video

[@BlueYoshi]

Well the E-Reader is bigger than the GBM itself...

[@ryanclouse299]

Gb Micro is my fave! I usually will use my og gba and sp for trading and have a gba modded with an ips screen. Honestly the IPS does make it feel "fake" but it does come in handy playing topsy turvy etc. with a backlit screen. The micro turned my most used sp into least used. I love the shoulder buttons on it. xP

[@ZackGaz]

Since it is so small, it is pretty much the most portable of all the systems. It will easily fit in any pocket. Thanks for watching.

[@encycl07pedia-]

The GBM is just a crippled GBA that can't play GBC or GB games with a worse screen and made for toddler hands. It seems more like a scam than an actual product.

[@adelgado8917]

I miss my gameboy advance... I had that exact same atomic purple one and loved it. All I have is my yellow gameboy color and ds lite. My advance was probably thrown out by my parents at some point, and my red SP was stolen.

[@ZackGaz]

Bummer about your missing GBAs! Thanks for watching!

[@juanjoserivasgarcia2336]

Montion control games need to be configured at GBA SP mode, otherwise, the directional sensors would be inverted. Thats why a GBC game with motion control like Kirby Tilt & Tumble, only works properly at a classic GBA model.

[@ZackGaz]

Yes, exactly. And Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble is now on the Switch Online Gameboy service and the motion control works well there, even when using a Pro Controller. Nice to see Nintendo bring forgotten game back!

[@HKlink]

Am I going crazy, or is there really soft Mario music playing in the background? Especially audible at 6:05. I'm thinking Six Golden Coins but I can't quite find the track.

[@ZackGaz]

Good ear, my friend! Yes, it is the Six Golden Coins file select tune in the background.

[@NanoGamingGamer]

fantastic vid

[@ZackGaz]

Thanks for watching!!

[@TanookiSuit]

Ok here's a follow up cheap test. If you pop the PCB out of a GB/GBC game and push it in there carefully lined up on the correct pins, will it work?

[@thedinobros1218]

Good video! I just wish you insert them into both devices rather than only the micro.

[@ZackGaz]

Hmm, good point. It seems people like it when things get inserted into both slots.

[@NQQTNQQT]

Useful video ^ . ^

[@ZackGaz]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@KiaTheCarAi]

If you want to play game boy color and normal game boy games on the game boy micro you have to use the a flash drive and load the rom on it like the ever drive and you can play it hope it helps

[@ZackGaz]

Yes, Goomba is usable on flash carts. Demo here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqLUi5JvlLSZjLM

[@hananezumi]

I'm curious as to whether GB and GBC games will work on it with the Everdrive

[@ZackGaz]

If using the GBA Everdrive, GB and GBC are playable but through emulation. If you want to play GB and GBC natively, you will need a GBC Everdrive.

[@immortallix]

Look up something called Goomba color. It's a GBC emulator for gba. It's not perfect but many games work

[@Feroxylos]

For example Pokemon Crystal does not work on goomba

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

I gotta try to find a copy of drill dozer

[@ZackGaz]

It is a pretty good game and the rumble works a lot better than you'd think. The cart is rather expensive these days though...

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

@@ZackGaz I remember a guy in middle school loaning it to me since we both had a gba sp. That rumble was the coolest shit my kid mind had ever seen, even though I got stuck in the game, it's lived rent free in my head. Now I'm motivated to go after a copy since I was able to snag a Analogue Pocket.

[@ZackGaz]

@@logicaloverdrive8197 I appreciate you leaving this cool comment. I just pre-ordered an Analogue Pocket myself and really looking forward to it. If you can't find a physical cart of Drill Dozer, it is available on the Wii U Virtual Console and rumble is supported through the controller. Not exactly the same but a less costly alternative. If you thought the rumble pak in Drill Dozer was cool, you might want to check out my coverage of Gameboy Color Rumble Pak games. I covered all of them and made a 30 min video summarizing everything you need to know about GBC Rumble Pak games. Here: kzbin.info/aero/PL9exeo9gYxCZ6LHRhWpY2dpNaS7W9L2pw

[@eyyyden25cheese]

I have that, but a green one.

[@Krispy95]

That’s weird, my e-reader fits my gameboy micro and works fine w would on a gameboy advance. It has the link cable insert and port too

[@ZackGaz]

Interesting. As you can see from my video, it wasn't going to work unless I really jammed it in there but fear that would have damaged it. Thanks for watching!

[@franksmith7271]

Origional Game Boy model? 😯

[@MRRR30]

Those games are mostly rare and pricey.

[@JustWatching4429]

Is Terminator 3 rare? I loved that game as a little kid. I think I still have it in my room. ETA I edited some basic typos

[@Oldies90s]

Because gbc need a cartidge knobe maybe ds has not this knob

[@encycl07pedia-]

OK video. You really, really should have shown if the motion controls worked because the cartridge normally would have been at the top. I never had one of those games, but I can imagine the sensor data being rotated 180 degrees would cause problems without some inverse calibration procedure. EDIT: 4:32 seems to be one such procedure. The Game Boy Micro (GBM) was, IMO, the worst Game Boy ever released. The first one had technical limitations and was a first run, but even it was better than this. GBM was released AFTER the near-perfect GBASP, but didn't have backwards compatibility, didn't have the same link cable (WHY?!!), was built for toddler's hands, tiny screen, and was generally pointless. Kudos on fitting an already-portable system into an even smaller form factor, but it's so uncomfortable. There's a reason nobody uses teeny tiny cell phones like in Zoolander. I mean the GBASP was a bit cramped for my hands. This thing would have been unplayable for me. This is like a car that can only drive on highways.

[@ZackGaz]

Hey, thanks for watching and the comment. I believe WarioWare Twisted has an option to reverse the controls so it can be played on original GBA units or bottom mount SP/Micro. I think it asks you this when you first boot up the game, if I remember correctly. However, Kirby Tilt'n Tumble on GBC didn't have this foresight so the controls will be reversed (but works fine on GBC or original GBA hardware). Agreed on the Gameboy Micro. It really is only for collectors as actually playing it isn't comfortable. The screen is also very small, just a little bigger than a postage stamp although it is nice and bright. It is nice that it has a headphone jack but the proprietary charging/link cable is a major inconvenience. Swapping faceplates seems like a cool idea but that never went anywhere. I'll stick with my AGS101 or a modded IPS screen in the original GBA.

[@TheSabataish]

I see boktai!

[@ZackGaz]

Yup, Boktai is good stuff!

[@aiden_kirby_productions9527]

Bro, that isn't the original Gameboy. It's the advance. Their was 4 different Gameboys before it

[@ZackGaz]

Yes, this is a GB Micro in this video and well aware of all the different versions of Gameboys. Most of my YT channel content is based around Nintendo's handhelds.

Yeah, and the Micro's screen is so small; just slightly bigger than a postage stamp. So it isn't good for long play sessions or RPGs because text is so tiny.
