Pikachu 3DS XL coming to UK (+AC Adapter rant)

LINK

GAME is now taking pre-orders for the Pikachu 3DS XL in the UK. It costs £180 and comes with a 4GB SD card.

Here's the kick in the teeth though, it's £10 more than any other 3DS XL and Nintendo STILL refuses to bundle an AC adaptor with it, and expects you to pay extra for it. Yeah, they don't cost much but it's not the exta cost that worrys me about this, it's Nintendo's atitued, it's not like the AC adaptor is an optional extra like a carry case or screen protector, it's vital to be able to use it more than 2 times, and yet they demand extra for it. I'm not liking the way Nintendo is going with this.

Wow. Its things like this that make me wonder how money hungry these companies are (granted its usually msoft that does it)

Is Pikachu's face actually on it or is it just yellow? Hard to tell from the box.

Meh, bring out the all black model already!

I preordered this on ShopTo

mine needs to be replaced give me a transparent green already -akin to a n64

Why can't NA get this edition or even frikin silver. I'm not buying retarded red or baby blue Nintendo. $200 sitting here waiting for you.(I'm content with my 3ds now, but after seeing my friend get his, the screens, buttons, analog pad, and d pad are all much better. The thing fits in my huge hands nicer too. I could pass on my red 3ds to a sibling if I get a new XL.)YoshiYogurt

I'd absolutely get one if they were available in the US. No money be damned, I'd not eat for a few days for one.
