I got the SNES Edition because it was the cheapest version of the 3DS XL I could find on Amazon but I open the box and theres no charger, just the system.

Are they all like this or is it because of the special edition?

If it uses some kind of standard charger (micro-USB or USB-C), fair enough, but I'll guess it doesn't?

Edit:
IIRC their argument was literally "everyone already owns a 3ds and the chargers are compatible"

Yeah that was their reasoning. Huge load of shit.

Chargers are, like $10 brand new and will last you practically forever. It's really not that bad of a deal compared to some of the shit other companies have pulled.

Unless it's a generic type of charger that's more or less universal, it's still a very shitty move. If it IS a generic one, understandable, most people already have a billion micro-USB or USB-C cables lying around.

The base 3DS, 2DS, and 2/3DSXL models all came with chargers. This was explicitly for the "New 3DS".

They've been using the same charger since the dsi back in like 08/09. And the ds family is among the top selling gaming devices of all time.

Idk, I've seen chargers as low as 5-10 dollars tho

They assumed everyone buying one was upgrading from an older 3ds. But the New 2DS had one included oddly.

If every company that made a braindead design decision "deserved to die" you'd be playing no video games.

Anyways the logic was that they assumed everyone buying a new 3ds already had a charger lmao
