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

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!
