Nintendo 3DS Official USB Charger coming this September!

[sarkwalvein]

Oh god, Nintendo...
What's next? An official Nintendo branded SD card for your 3DS?
It is Nintendo approved, so you can trust it.
(it's just a fucking thread of copper)

I just got a USB charger, cost me $8, I'll stick with that.

they actually already released nintendo branded sd card

Not sure I would trust a $3.82 USB charger, cheap chargers tend to have some very sketchy internals (devoid of most or all safety components, lacking proper separation between AC and DC that could in a worst case scenario short and cause your 3DS and/or charger to catch on fire)

when i bought my GW some years ago there was a site in canada giving one free with order of a GW, ,i wonder if anyone here tried it
i ended up ordering from RHS i think

The cable doesn't matter so much, the important part is the AC adapter itself.

The AC-adapter is likely to just be yet another 5W USB charger (1A, 5V) seeing as that should be close enough to 4.6V and enough to let the 3DS draw as much power as it wants to.

*Compatible with NES console.

wot

This makes me feel like this could just be misadvertising. If this implies that it's compatible with the mini-NES, then it's a standard micro-USB adapter and definitely wouldn't work with a 3DS.

Yes.

 

[CaptainSodaPop]

Yes.

Well I don't blame nintendo for putting out an official one, I had a shitty USB charger cable that had some kind of bizzare problem with the charge; it made the touchscreen fail to properly register touches somehow. After depleting the charge from that cable and recharging with the AC cable, the problem went away. I've heard of others with this issue, seen youtube videos of it etc. And yes, I know there are GOOD USB chargers out there

 

[Blaze163]

I've been using a USB charge cable for months, I charge my 3DS whenever I'm watching Netflix on my PS3. I had to order a new cable a few days ago because it developed a loose connection, but it lasted well over a year, not bad for £1.39 on eBay.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Yes.

Is the Nintendo logo also printed on the plastic of the SD Card itself or just that sticker? If it's the former then that's kinda cool.

 

[KingVamp]

Hmmm I wonder if they will change to standard USB for charging for the next portable.

If this implies that it's compatible with the mini-NES, then it's a standard micro-USB adapter and definitely wouldn't work with a 3DS.

Unless the mini-NES is actually charged by a 3DS charger.

 

[YayMii]

Unless the mini-NES is actually charged by a 3DS charger.

It was confirmed a while back that the mini-NES uses microUSB for power... Either this thing is incompatible with the mini-NES, or simply isn't even a 3DS charger. (Or it could include some sort of adapter, but knowing Nintendo, that's pretty unlikely)

Sure it is just a standard USB charger and perhaps it comes with one USB to 3DS cable and a USB to microUSB cable.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

They're not going to include an AC adapter to plug the USB cable, or are they? I've got plenty of USB-to-AC adapters around but this is no reason for Nintendo to assume everyone has.

Could you summarise one of the reviews from Amazon Japan? Google Translate is terrible at it and left me confused as to why they're being given a bad rating.

I already have a USB charger cord never had an issue. Been using it for 3 years, even on a USB cord extension of 6 feet.
I got it free.
