It must be understood that people leave reviews about two consoles: the original Japanese high quality and a bunch of Chinese clones that appeared to satisfy the market demand after the cessation of production of the original. You need to take the model that does not have built-in games and that does not connect to a computer (this is the closest copy to the original, which is slightly worse except for the brightness of the screen). At the same time, it is very difficult to find the original now, a knowledgeable person will not give it away for 2022, and it is not clear what condition the battery will be in. As well as licensed cartridges: good games are already collectible. If you don’t chase after all this, then you should take a clone without built-in games, a few cartridges with something better and look for a pirate car. There has been a Nintendo DS Lite for a long time, which is four times more expensive, but in addition to accepting GBA cartridges, it also has its own extensive library of games; I will recommend it to a person unfamiliar with Nintendo portables and not very limited in finances.
