Disgusting move by Nintendo. Forcing people to buy entire 3DS/DSi systems along with the new XL model just to get a charger can be seen as nothing more than an attempt to make us double dip their hardware.


No doubt this is in the same vein as their decision to not design memorable spine art for their video game boxes. Needless to say, their once renowned Nintendo magic is clearly starting to run out.

Are you implying that Nintendo does not sell their chargers stand-alone?  Because they do, and if you look it up online, they are not any more than $10.  You can find a 3rd party charger for $5, and a second-hand charger for around $2 on ebay (free shipping).

Clearly a joke. LOL. Seemed pretty obvious to me.
