Manufacturer description
This device powers on and displays, but cannot read disks. The console has been factory reset. Please note that these consoles are sourced second-hand. While each unit is tested and described accurately, there may occasionally be minor missing cosmetic or non-essential parts (for example, a screw or rubber foot) that do not impact normal operation unless specifically stated in the listing. I’m happy to consider reasonable offers. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you’d like additional photos.

Nintendo's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
