Manufacturer description
This console is in used condition, has been factory reset, and has been tested to confirm it powers on and functions properly. It is ready for its next owner. 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.
