9)Game Boy micro Final Fantasy IV limited edition-

...released only in Japan, the Game Boy micro Final Fantasy IV limited edition is perhaps the most decorative version of all the micro units released.

A truly gorgeous system and a must have for game collectors world wide!

10)Game Boy micro Mother 3 limited edition-

...Another Japan exclusive. This special micro unit is a showy liquid red with intentional colored splotches streaking across the faceplate. The title "Mother 3" is born across the top right hand side of the faceplate, above the A and B buttons along with the word "Nintendo". The Mother 3 micro is based upon a popular role play series which runs in Japan but has shown up in the USA under the guise of Earthbound Zero for the Super Nintendo Entertainment system.

11)Game Boy micro Pokemon limited edition-

...released only in japan and even rare over there! It was only found at the Pokemon Center stores. It features a black faceplate with a tiny white Pikachu silhoutte in the top right hand corner just above the A and B buttons. Has a dark red body. Despite Pokemon being considered a childrens game by trade, Nintendo did a very nice job creating a sexy design that does Pokemon fans some justice but looks sweet enough that everyone else will really appreciate it as well.
