The charger, or the lack of a charger to be more accurate.

Now lets make this more constuctive.

If you don't have a previous 3DS console (because they're compatible with the 3DS XL power supply), then you're out of luck because you'll have to buy one on your own. Maybe it is not that big of a deal because looking at amazon and gamestop you can buy one for less than 10 bucks. Wait, less than 10 bucks? I'm pretty sure it cost Nintendo 10 cents to manufacture and to include it in the box.

I don't care if a lot of people own a 3DS, if you buy a console it should have everything that will make it functional, because if you don't have a power supply you can't charge the new 3DS and then it can't run. Imagine Sony selling their PS4/Vita without the power cord, or Microsoft without the XBone power brick, and then saying you got to purchase it separately. This ain't like the Gameboy when you only need AA batteries folks.

Look, when you buy a system brand new, it should have what it needs to run. Boom!

I already have an extra 3ds charger so it doesnt matter to me but Im waiting for a possible xenoblade bundle or a promotion to buy it



3DS XL didn't come with a charger either, so I'm not sure why people are all of a sudden complaining about it when Nintendo's been doing this for years now.

Is because in America this is the first time that a 3ds doesnt come with a charger



Nevermind.

While I really do hate the fact that doesn't come with the charger, I also don't think its as big of a deal as some people claim to be. And the reason is that it says that it doesn't come with one in the store page and on the box.

Its almost the samething as the Vita not coming with a memory card during launch. Without a memory card, you can't really do anything like play games cause you need one in order to save games so the Vita was essentially a brick until you got one

So overall, I don't think it but its not thatttt big of a deal imo cause it does inform the consumer beforehand

At least that had precedent though. Both the PS1, and PS2 required memory cards for save files. And the same can be said for the N64 and GC. 



The gamecube didnt come with a memory card...I dont see how this is any different.

Yea but the prices of the vita memory cards weren't exactly cheap during launch. And not to mention, the times were changing since ps3/360/3ds all had storage of somekind. And not to mention, from what I hear, even phones are starting to do that as well
