That isn't even that clear.  A lot of consumer electronics are sold with USB charging cables, but no AC adapter.

Also to people in general in this thread.  If it is no big deal for the consumer to spend ~$10 extra on a charger, why is it a big deal for Nintendo to include one when it costs them far less?

I would say it is pretty clear.  After all, the iphone I recently bought my wife didn't include the wall piece (read: ac adapter) but didn't actually have any indicator on the box that it didn't.  It did, however, include the cord.  Thus, they didn't feel the need to mark the box.

It is not the fault of the company providing the product that someone might not read the box or might misinterpret what "no AC adapter" might mean.  Consumers need to be held accountable for knowing what they are purchasing.

US or no? Just curious.

My iPhone 4s and both iPhone 6s came with both lightning cables and the wall adapter (little white box with the usb slot). Wondering if this is possibly just a US thing to always expect stuff like this in the box.
