Next thing you know one of their competitors will release a portable without a memory card that's mandatory to play games packed in.
you can still play the games but it's annoying as hell
Certain games won't start without the memory so you are forced to buy it.
To clarify, this is in EU? Does the NA package have the charger?
Yes it does.To clarify, this is in EU? Does the NA package have the charger?
In that case, consider this EU 3DS owners: You guys get Picross, we have a charger...Yes it does.
Uh, they're saving you money. If I have a charger already why should I be forced pay for another one?

...I'm not sure who comes out ahead.
Okay, to clear up confusion.
NA 3DS XLs come with the charger.
Original 3DS's in all regions come with the charger.
The 3DS XL can use normal 3DS and DSi chargers.
Also, chargers cost like three to five bucks and from what I've seen, the European boxes explicitly state how it doesn't come with one.
yeah and the cool charging cradle
Yes.
How does Nintendo get away with a lot of things?
You're completely missing the point. It would be like selling a car without a key.I lost my 3ds charger and you can literally get a charger on newegg for like $5

not a big deal.
Oh cool, I still don't understand why they just assume everyone that buys a 3DS XL already has a 3DS. Pretty stupid on their part.

Is there some EU tax they are getting around? Like, if the device isnt powered though the micro USB standard, you have to pay a fee? Something about reducing components in landfills. Maybe what i remember reading only related to cell phones, im not sure.

When you have a 30+ year presence that is respected through what they did in their early days and for the gaming content they provided in all the generations, people tend to turn a blind eye towards issues such as this.
I still cant believe they cut the price of the 3DS by $80 in less than a year and just gave away NES and GBA games that dont even match up to $80...."Ambassador" program l0l.

then why don't they include one? If it only costs us $5, it would have only cost Nintendo cents on the dollar to buy them in bulk.
It just seems like such a weird move, why wouldn't they include something the device needs to operate?then why don't they include one? If it only costs us $5, it would have only cost Nintendo cents on the dollar to buy them in bulk.

I'd be very confused to find out something that essential was missing.
For sure it saves them money but I don't think anyone else does this in Europe. They could have designed the cord so that it was Apple esq and has an interchangeable plug for the different EU sockets. It's pretty poor on their part IMO.as i pointed out (not defendin just can see the business sense) it saves nintendo a boatload of cash by not having to produce different packages for different european countries
Uh, what if you don't have a charger in the first place?
Considering how small the label is on the box? Yeah.Even if it said so on the package?
