I bought the original 3DS way back in the day so I didn't have this problem but my friend just got the new 3DS XL this weekend and he came back home only to realise there was no adapter either. He had run out of charge while playing his console on the way home. He was livid lol.

It's not so much the cost of the charger that is the issue, rather the inconvenience of having to go out again and buy it when you're excited to be playing on your new console.

I mean seriously, this is 2014. What electrical appliance does not come with a charger in this day and age? What is Nintendo going to do next? Put AAA battery slots in their consoles so that we've to keep buying batteries? This is just beyond dumb.

It's a common thing to do in Japan. Honestly, don't know why though. And other places copy. You have more boxes to deal with. VS one bigger box. The AV Famicom doesn't come with its AC adapter and AV cables. Gotta buy them all separate. Nintendo has done it a lot of times with their systems.
