Manufacturer description
Console is well used and showing wear and discoloration. But is tested and fully working. OEM charger. Comes with everything pictured, including the games, although note that 42 and Mario Kart and European and therefore am unsure if they can be played on this console. Also the stylus is loose in the holder
