So I just saw a local catalogue that shows the New 3DS models in a bundle with Paper Mario Sticker Star AND an AC adapter, and in the fine print it says 'New 3DS and 3DS XL consoles do not include AC adapter'.

I honestly never knew about this. I have seen the display boxes and noticed how small/slim they are but never thought there isnt an AC adapter included.

You have to use your old charger or buy a new one separately.

Did everyone else know about this? I am semi gutted about this since I can use my pre existing adapter, but for all new customers its rather mean.

Nintendo, y u do this?

EDIT: Bah! Cannot work the images again for some reason...

Why does this startle you?It isnt the first time...

How much is an adapter?

My EB website says $15. It isnt much, but why not just include it in the box.

What are the other instances?

3DS XL:p Unless the ac adapter had been included in Australia  :P

On Nintendo's US site, new charger is $10, $5 refurbished. Not sure for Australia.

I have several, so its not a problem for me, but its still a shitty thing to do.

Oh really?

Yeah, in Australia my 3DS XL definitely came with an AC adapter.

Becausr then they would cost $15 more that they usually would =P

No point adding shit in the box and make buyers pay for it when they may not need it.
