This is my first console in a long time so I was really excited to try it out. Everything was in excellent condition, almost as if it was bought new - no scratches or smudges and all the standard accessories included. I’ve just played a few demo games and the battery holds up very nicely. Not to mention delivery was quicker than expected. I can’t wait to get some mileage out of this one!

Thanks to Back Market! I recently purchased this item, feeling quite anxious about what I might receive. While many reviews here rate it 5 stars, a few 1-star reviews made me hesitant. The package arrived in its original box with accessories, showing no signs of use. It's completely spotless. I haven't tested the charger yet, good thing is they provided me the conversion adapter. I charged it with my phone charger haha with Type-C. Also, it arrived quicker than the delivery dates bracket.

Benefits of buying a refurbished Nintendo game console

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Nintendo game console models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Nintendo game console compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned Nintendo game console is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished Nintendo game console is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Nintendo game consoles out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

What to expect when buying a refurbished Nintendo game console?

If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase.

However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your Nintendo game console and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your Nintendo game console is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

History of Nintendo

The Japanese firm Nintendo was founded in 1889. In its early days, it designed and distributed Hanafuda, which are Japanese playing cards. It was not until the 1970s that the company diversified its activities by developing toys and arcade terminals to enter the console and video game market towards the end of the seventies.

Moreover, it was one of the main precursors of the video game of the whole world. It was in the 1980s that Nintendo became a real giant in the field of video games. When microcomputing exploded and the market for game consoles collapsed, the Japanese company found itself without any competitor since Coleco went bankrupt, Mattel and MB left the market and the main adversaries of the time like Atari and Philips have converted to IT. The Japanese firm can finally reign supreme over video games all over the world.

After the overwhelming success of its NES consoles or Famicon for the Japanese and SNES, as well as its portable consoles, such as the Game Boy, Nintendo launched in 1996 the most powerful console of its generation, which is the Nintendo 64 . Although it is a 64-bit console, it has decided to keep cartridge support. That didn't stop it from selling around 33 million copies, the majority of which were driven by the games Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Tme.

Towards the end of 1998, a new portable console model was launched; it's the Game Boy Color, which is hugely successful worldwide, especially thanks to the PokÃƒÆ’©mon series. It was in the mid-2000s that Nintendo made a real masterstroke with its Nintendo DS portable console, which was equipped with several functions that had never been seen before, such as the simultaneous use of 2 backlit screens, one of which was touch sensitive, a built-in microphone and an internet-player connection via Wi-Fi.

And with its Nintendo Wii, the Japanese company is moving into the majority of homes around the world. Indeed, its home console allows a deeper immersion in games thanks to motion capture. The whole family can then enjoy the console. Over the years, Nintendo has improved its consoles to offer devices with an ergonomic design and a powerful and powerful family, which can adapt to all generations.

We can cite the Nintendo 3DS, which incorporates stereoscopic technology, and its large screen model Nintendo 3DS XL, the one-piece Nintendo 2ds designed for children or the Nintendo Wii U, whose games can be played directly on the controller thanks to its integrated screen, and the Nintendo Switch, which is a hybrid console using detachable controllers and which allows several game configurations, the greatest strength of which is to switch from one game mode to another (handheld console) without having to interrupt a game.
