REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A big year for the Nintendo 3DS system is about to get even bigger.

The North American release of the 3DS XL will indeed include an AC adapter. In Europe and Japan, however, this product must be purchased separately. DSi, DSi XL, and 3DS adapters will be compatible with the system.

Along with the AC adapter itself, a cradle/adapter combo will be offered in Europe. It’s currently unknown if the cradle will be included in the North American box.
