hey hey! im from the uk and i heard america doesnt have it yet?,it costs about $10 less than a ds game and basicaly plays mp3 via sd card on any gameboy advance or ds,but is aimed at the gameboy micro.i hope this small review helps somebody out their to make a decision on a purchase :)

unopened,yum yum :) its a cardboard box not plastic.


here is the contents,a hefty manual full of different languages,250 nintendo stars and the mp3 player.


heres the cartridge,unfortunatly it is larger than a normal cartridge :( and has a horrible nintendo mp3 logo on it,it looks nothing like a nintendo product either.


EWWWWW keep this crap away from your dslite,it looks horrid.


as you can see it looks much better in the gameboy micro


and personaly i think it looks best in the gameboy sp,becouse it fits the shape of it.


the cartridge has a headphone port on it becouse the sp doest have a headphone port,but i learnt early on to use the extra headpone port always becouse you control the volume on screen and the gameboy speakers are disabled.as for the sd card you simply slip it into the side and it clicks.

their is mario mode and some strange stick man,when the songs playing you can press a with the beat to make him dance which is actualy quite addicting.


you can sort all your songs into folders and do the usual loop and repeat things,also fast forwarding is a breeze you just hold down right on the dpad and it skips through the song nice and fast.
by pressing both L+R you put your gameboy into sleep while it still plays the music,pressing start wakes it up.


final thoughts,if you have no mp3 player i suggest buying an ipod definitly,but if you have a few sd cards lying around and a dormant gameboy advance consider buying this becouse its a pretty good mp3 player.any questions you know who to ask :)

their is no software provided,if you have a sd card and a sd reader then you just drag songs onto the sd card,and put them into folders if you want.

theirs a feature wwhen you press the a button to make your man dance,its funny and addicting,you have to press it in time with the beat and you can do mini combo things and your character will lift his leg in the air or somethign stupid,its hard explain.but its cool :)

what do you mean? the cartridge supports sd cards these are mainstream memory card that can hold up to as much as 8 gigs,you drag your mp3 files from your computer to the sd card using an sd card reader then put the sd card into the nintendo mp3 player and play them

mp3 is extremely popular,if you have itunes you can simply put in any music cd and import it,then drag those files onto the sd card.OR you could buy them from itunes/or download them by other means,.i think itunes is free so you can download that from the apple website and import all your cds onto it,their are other methods i imagine.

*cough* how bout getting back on topic froobs... anyways, is playing music all this thing does? no pictures or movies? if so, i suggest looking at the Max Media Player. Only has 4GB HDD but its USB transfer and plays movies :D

EDIT: Forgot to mention though, the Max... costs a pretty penny... well over $150 lol but i'd say its worth it

I didn't see anyone post where you could buy the Nintendo MP3 Player, but it's available from Play-Asia.
