Very shame,

Probably for economic reasons, Nintento abandoned the retro compatibility with game cube games, more hatch with joysticks ports and memory card GC, I was pretty disappointed with that, I'll have to keep the GC on hand.
_Mario Kart is provided as OEM (without box or manual).

Apart from these negatives it's a very nice console, black is very bright and all very good quality, it is a beautiful gift for the holidays but prefer the white (former pack mario kart) which is cheaper and is still backward compatible! (This is the choice I have made by being a smart shopper)
