yea that's why i'm getting that one as soon as there's an actual new 3ds exclusive worth playing. those zelda things shoot up to 300€ as soon as they sell out though so :10bux:

Iwata gave a fairly rational explanation for not including one back when they started doing it - the original 3DS's price point was higher than it really ought to have been because each box came with a charger, a cradle, AR cards, etc. A lot of people never used those things, so they were essentially paying for worthless plastic - or worse - being put off a 3DS purchase by an RRP that was higher than necessary.

When the XL was about to launch, the team decided to keep the price as low as possible by only including essentials (the charger not being considered 'essential' as some people already owned them). America being the exception of course, because you guys are giant babies about everything. If the charger was in the box, it would have changed the RRP accordingly.

I've owned all three iterations of the 3DS so far, but am still using the charger that came in the box of my OG 3DS. If they'd included one with every iteration, I'd have paid £20 or £30 more for useless stuff I don't need.

the msrp of buying a 3dsxl and charging cables separately is of course the same as if they came in the same box, right?

i'm pretty sure the explanation is horseshit from the consumer side. hell, north america typically has the cheapest 3dses versus other regions even though they came with chargers

saves nintendo money, sure, but they sure as poo poo aren't passing along the saving

can't you just suspend and resume the game by closing and opening the system anyway?

I always liked that you got an exact amount of time per session. figuring out your personal schedule and what secondary tasks you can fit in between fixed events was almost a minigame

i remember one time i decided to see what happens if you let time run out. the process to do that is reset the cycle then play double time five loving times and then wait 12 ingame hours
