Manufacturer description
I got this system at McKay's used books a while back and it worked fine...but I bought a black gamecube so no need for this one...tested and works. There is sticker residue still stuck on the console....when I bought it there were stickers all over it ..I got most of it off. Mario Sunshine works great but does have some light scratches...cars works great...both come in generic cases...no manuals but art work is authentic. System includes an original gamecube controller which works but thumb pad is worn off...also includes GameStop branded controller and a 3rd party av cable..includes power…
