Forums - Nintendo - Retailers sell 3DS XL Models which literally don't work here in Switzerland

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?? I'm looking for a 3DS XL and doesn't matter which retailer, ALL the models are sold without a power supply unit. How ridiculous is this when there is no single model which can be played without purchasing something mandatory separately. I mean the Vita was/is also sold without memory card but there are/were at least some bundles with it in them.

Some online shops don't even mention it, you have to check out the user comments to figure it out. This is straight cheating on the customer if you ask me.

Is it any different in your country?

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

well here in Brasil you get everything



The 3DSXL was treated by Nintendo as an upgrade for people who already had a 3DS for some reason, and so none of the models come with a power cable

It's the same here in the UK. But if you have a DSi or 3DS then that charger works. If not it only costs like £4 anyway so it's no big deal. Annoying, however.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

the charger costs 9 Euro max brand new, there is the chance that you already own a DSi/3DS charger, you aren´t forced to buy overpriced propriatory memorycards that can only be used for a single device (it comes with a 4GB SD card ).

The situation is not perfect but far better than with the Vita

Nintendo expected most 3DS users to upgrade and they probably did. So they are saving resources on making plugs for every unit and saving money at the same time. The plug is only £7 so what's the problem?
