I can see not including an AC adapter in Japan working out fine. Entirely different culture, especially when it comes to tech devices. People probably won't have a problem, over there, with buying a separate adapter.

As for whether or not it would include one or make you buy one separately, it's common sense telling me that much, unless someone comes out with it direct from the Nintendo Direct. Who on earth sells an electronic device and doesn't provide you with a way to power it without buying separately? It's absolutely ludicrous. I'm 95% certain your source misunderstood something. I'm guessing the actual presentation said something along the lines of, "In order to cut costs, there will not be a new AC adapter. The device will use the same adapter as the 3DS and DSi-XL." Which COULD be interpreted a couple ways. |
I understand where you're coming from.
I don't know 100% which is the true interpretation.
But at least mine is in print. I do agree it's ridiculous not to have one.
Nintendo probably doesn't want to splinter the market with some devs focusing on twin stick and forgetting that some users only have one.
My question is how will the larger screen effect battery life. The original 3DS didn't have great battery life so hopefully the XL will have a bigger battery to go with the bigger screen.
Oh and I hope the Circle Pad Pro is compatible or they better make a Circle Pad Pro XL.

Well, with a bigger device, there's also more space for a larger battery. Supposedly, battery life is nearly doubled.

I just read the article at IGN and it says it will last between 3.5 and 6.5 hours for 3DS games. The original was 3 to 5 hours. That's not double the time. I was hoping for 10 to 20 hours.
It frustrates me that all of today's devices have such terrible battery life. Laptops, tabs, smart phones, and handheld gaming systems all have too short of battery lives to seriously travel. You always have to pack a charger and you can't take off into the boonies and count on the batteries to last.
Nintendo should include two or three battery packs and an external charger so you can go on a camping trip without rationing your game time.

Battery Life:
3,5 - 6,5 h (3DS XL)
3 - 5 h (3DS)
Numbers are from the Nintendo direct show.

Your source isn't very credible. :D
It would be pointless to add something that under 2% of games would use. Especially when stylus aiming is significantly faster and more accurate which is already available on what will be over 25 million units by the end of the year.
Maybe down the line, but personally I don't see the advantage - it didn't help the Vita.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
Cuz Nintendo always thinks ahead.
Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:
