Europe isn't going to get any of the Game Boy Micro faceplates for gamers to customise the look of their handheld...

If you've been looking in vain for Game Boy Micro faceplates, this could be why... According to the British Gaming Blog, who contacted Nintendo Europe about the lack of faceplates on sale, a Nintendo representative has said "I have not heard that Nintendo will be selling replaceable face plates in Europe. They are available in the USA but not over here unfortunately."

This seems strange - one of the Micro's selling points is it's customisable design, and the faceplates are easily available in Japan and America. For the time being, Nintendo fans in Europe still wanting one will have to resort to Ebay.
