Nintendo of America on why the New 3DS XL won’t include a charger

Nintendo of America has commented on the decision to not include a charger with 3DS XL units.

In a statement provided to IGN, the company explained:

“New Nintendo 3DS XL uses the same AC adapter as any Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DSi system. Rather than raise cost of New Nintendo 3DS XL by charging consumers for a component they may already own, we are giving them the option to only buy if they need an AC adapter.”
