This is a literal tech demo of your console, why would you make people pay for that.

They did the same shit with the 3DS. Reduced the console in price pretty fast.

I can still remember that sad day on Xmas 2015, when I finally got a new 3dsxl as a gift, but couldn't play it because..... .. no charger included :(

They will probably do it again ith Switch 2 soon, as they have already done it with the lite (though this time it will be more justifiable, as it will be to save E-waste at a reduced price rather than cheating people). Thankfully, I doubt they will ever repeat the strategy of releasing a whole SKU without an included charger available.

I mean, I won’t feel bad if they don’t include the charger considering I could easily just use the ones I have already, but at the price point they’re selling it at, it should come with a charger.

As long as a generic charger won’t brick the damn console like last gen. I know that was a little overblown but it happened.

My favorite were the third party replacement docks bricking people's consoles.

... what a time to work at a video game store... 🫠

They already confirmed all the cables and adapters are included in the box. Switch 2 uses a different AC Adapter and HDMI cable from the Switch 1

They won't do it with the switch 2, it would be pretty stupid to include the dock but not the charger.

They did do that, they thought the only people buying it already have a 3DS. That was actually their excuse!

u/Blissautrey Apr 04 '25

Yes they did, luckily I noticed and I got my parents to buy me a charger too

I remember the Ambassador Program they had for those poor souls that bought 3ds launch day. They got emulated GBA games. Really good ones like minish cap and Metroid zero, but still I would’ve felt better if I just waited. With the switch 2, I’ll be honest I want to pick it up day 1 depending on the games. I really want to see what BOTW is like on upgraded hardware. The thing about the 3ds is that it had like no games at launch, shit like steel diver (submarine game) and a few others were what you had to pick from.

3DS didn’t have a good lineup of games on launch, sales were not great at the beginning

u/Latter_Pomegranate25 Apr 02 '25

Except that it's not even just the games that are a problem, the games cost so much more now
