I dislike the trend in electronics to attempt to skip out on chargers. Many things now will only include a usb cord for charging but no wall plug.
They do this to simplify the multi-region distribution plus accessories always have big margins and profits.
With the 3DS its less of an issue as so many do own a previous system, but if you want to sell your old console after you upgrade, then you're forced to buy a new charger. In reality, you can get them for like $5 off of Nintendo's site, ebay, or other sites. So meh in this particular case.
