Right? People here are arguing that not including an AC adapter is a good thing. Am I still asleep and this is some weird manifestation of my subconscious?
It's been this way in non us territories since the launch of the XL

It not coming with an AC adaptor is good for shops. It means you are guaranteed to walk out with two items rather than one when you come in.
It's a weird metric, but it's something they measure in retail. Basically store employees have more of a reason to push the XL this way.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yep, the "no charger" thing has been standard practice for the rest of the world for sometime. Even the Ambassador edition n3DS didn't include one.
guys if you need a cheap way to charge your n3DS get a usb cable. they cost $2 online.

This is good for me as I want that XL but want to get the physical card at a later date.

Not that it's a good thing. Just that it's not the end of the world.

Already got used to the no adapter future with the XL in europe.
Oh wow, didn't realise something like this existed for so cheap.

Welcome to our world americans. UKers never had a charger sold with the system even back when the 3DS first came out, and we still don't get it included.

Neither is not being able to pick up the console, but people are flipping apeshit over that.

How do you preorder this?

Are people seriously suprised by this? The Smash and Persona Q XLs didn't come with their games included either. Not that big of a deal.

True, it isn't. If it's online only though it's pretty trivial to tack a charge cable on to your order.

Not including the adapter is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We're in 2015 god damn it, that shit is standard with anything you buy.
Compare the list of limited editions that came with the game and those that didn't. That's why people might be angry. It's a cheap move and it's incredibly stupid. It's not hard to see why people might be upset.

Doesn't matter. It was going to sell out anyway. Money's money, so why not cut corners?

That isn't a bad point. I remember the Pokemon XY XLs over here didn't come with the game which did trip a few people up. It is probably why the ORAS 2DS and this MM one have to come with the game (and cost way more
).How about instead of insulting me you try and explain to me why not including a game is shitty? I am arguing that including a game is shitty because it might be a format you don't like (digital) and it adds to the cost (see Europe) so why not give the consumer the respect they deserve to make their own decisions.
Unless it is the AC adapter part in which case don't you think it is kind of shitty that those who have no need for an AC adapter (as they own at least one of the following: DSi, DSi XL, 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS) were effectively paying more?
Except you weren't.

I actually hope they just start charging less and not bundling games in with special editions. I want to buy a special edition New 3DS, but I don't want anything pre installed. I buy all my games physically. If I were a Zelda fan I'd actually prefer it this way. This just seems like people complaining about nothing. Unless they're charging you the same amount they would charge you if they bundled the game in I don't see what the big deal is.
The lack of adapter is a load of shit though. That should come standard with every console.

How is it cheap?
It's $200. It's the same price as the other versions. You have the option to buy the game physically now. How is choice not a good thing? Are we discussing the version itself or the lack of a AC adapter? Those things are like $2 online. Order one now so you'll have it by the time your nXL gets to your place. That's literally a soda out of a vending machine.
That's what I don't get. The tax you pay on the nXL is going to be three times what a charger costs. It's ridiculous to get upset over something so silly.
Would it translate to a higher cost, or to a lower margin for Nintendo/retailers?
Shhhh, they are raging
Seriously

You get out of here with your logic and reason. We won't have any of that here.
Our first 3DS came with not only a charger, but also a neat charging dock
Also for anyone who doesn't know, you can get a USB->3DS cable

to charge it through the same kind of adapter you would use for your phone/tablet/etc
