The system was brand new! The game code for Animal Crossing was good to go!! It’s such an amazing game system I am so happy with this purchase, well worth the money for an Animal Crossing lover. Even if you’re looking at just Switch Lite system, I think it’s very worth it. I also have the normal Switch system and love the handheld aspect the Lite provides and that its weight is honestly so light! I almost feel like I’m holding a cell phone that’s how light it feels at times. I also purchased a little game stand for it so it’s super easy to have sitting on a table and connect some joy cons to it and play that was too! Overall, super happy with this purchase!
