[Except from PC World]
Nintendo has launched its newest handheld gaming device, the GameBoy Micro, in Japan.

The diminutive device is scheduled to hit retail shelves in the U.S. on September 19 priced at $100.

The Micro, which began shipping on Tuesday, is easily the smallest member of Nintendo's hit GameBoy family. The device is true to its name, measuring just 4 inches long by 2 inches deep and 0.68 inches thick.
