I was quite nervous to the process as I’d only known 1 person to use Back Market. But I’m happy to say, I couldn’t be happier with the whole process! The device can quickly in exactly the way that was promised - and even exceeded expectations.

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.
If you're looking for cheaper Nintendo game console options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored Nintendo game console models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed Nintendo game console in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.
Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop Nintendo game console deals on our platform.
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Nintendo game console may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). 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.
All Nintendo game console purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best Nintendo game console for your needs at lower prices.
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 Pokémon 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.
If you like the Nintendo Switch, also take a look at our Nintendo Switch Lite.
