Reddit reviews Nintendo 3DS Compatible with 3DS / 3DS XL / 2DS AC Adapter

You can totally buy the AC adapter first-party: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-AC-Adapter/dp/B00L59D9HG/ref=pd_sim_vg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0G199HEY83WPF1K3XFYN

I get why they aren't including it (to save $10 off the initial price,) and as someone with 3 adapters laying around already, I don't really need another one. But I totally get the frustration too.

Prime Now has it, if you have Amazon Prime.

Nope, no charger is included. That said, you can use any charger in the DS family all the way down to DSi. If you don't have an old one lying around, you can pick one up on Amazon right now for $8.99. It's the "official" charger too! Here's a helpful link: 3DS Wall Charger

Amazon has the official one for $8 but only for prime members

Does anyone know where I can get a charger from? This doesn't seem to come with one but on the Amazon listing for one from Nintendo people are saying it doesn't come in the original packaging and is a knock-off.

Well, guess there are dumb buyers everywhere..... congrats finding one btw ; )

2DS : http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-nintendo+2ds,28zu0

Charger: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L59D9HG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481778958&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=3ds+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=41FIbgqdMxL&ref=plSrch

Although, TBH, for $14, it seems worth the risk, if it's covered by Amazon's return policy. Keep us posted!


Don't forget the charger.

I'm confused as to how finding an adapter is hard.

The game will be $40, which is the standard price for 3DS games.

The charger is only $8 on Amazon (link here), and should be about the same in stores, give or take.

As for the 3DS itself, there are 3 models currently available. The New 3DS XL is bigger and has larger screens, and goes for $200. The New 3DS (not XL) is the same but slightly smaller, and will be available for $100 on Black Friday. The 2DS does not display games in 3D, but it can play all 3DS games and is the cheapest option at $80.

Hopefully that helps!

Just stick to the official Nintendo one

To late but here is one option

Was debating getting a 2XL or a refurbished N3XL for me and my sister but found a new N3XL for $175 on Amazon. $50 more than getting two 2XLs but, brand new, 3d feature is there if needed, better speakers, and longer battery life (several reviews have mentioned 2XL has shorter battery life).

So, I'm on the hunt for some accessories and was wondering if ya'll could help me pick some out.

Charger Will need 2 of these.

• Is there a difference in charging times between the wall charger and usb chargers?
  
• Difference between charge times using usb chargers when plugged into usb wall charger and PC? Would one charge faster than the other?
  
• In one of the reviews for the Yuyikes USB charger, someone asked about the difference between it and cheaper usb cables. Someone replied that the cheaper ones only charge while the DS is asleep/off while it can charge while playing. Is this true?
  
• Using a USB cable, can you transfer things back and forth between a PC and the DS? Be it the system it self or a microSD card?
  
  Charger | Price
  ---|---
  Wall Charger | $8
  HDE 3 Pack USB | $8
  HDE 2 Pack USB | $5
  Yuyikes USB | $8
  
  Screen Protector Will need 2 of these.
  
  
• Does the system close properly with screen protectors installed on the top and bottom screen?
  
• I ask because someone people have mentioned their N2dsXL having a tiny gap with screen protectors.
  
• If you use one, which do you use personally?
  
  Brand | Price | # of Pairs | # of Reviews | Avg Score
  ---|---|----|----|----
  Hori | $9 | 1 | 1758 | 4.5
  iLLumiShield | $7 | 3 | 49 | 4.5
  Akwox | $7 | 2 | 125 | 4
  Dmax Armor | $6 | 3 | 65 | 4.5
  iLLumiShield | $10 | 2 | 49 | 4.5
  

Best advice is to go to a local Target or Walmart (not Amazon unless you have Prime) and buy the Official 3DS Charger because it's only 8.99

GameStop won't take a 3DS without a charger regardless of the fact that the n3DS is sold without one and they will then see if you want to buy a Pre-Owned charger or their (GameStop branded) $15 charger.

Just buy a new original one while you can still get one. They're not very expensive

It would be nice to know if this has the correct voltage (4.6V) and amperage (900mA). Other chargers don't have this voltage (usually 5V instead) and that causes a great deal of concern for me.

My personal advice is to always stick with 1st party for power chargers - it's too important. A bad power supply is not something to trifle with. Besides, the official charger can actually be had for around the same price used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00L59D9HG/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
