The no AC adapter thing won't fly in the US.

In order to keep the cost down, they won't be including an AC adapter. You'll have to buy it separately, but you can also use your adapter from your other Nintendo hardware.

Really? How cheap can Nintendo be? It's not important to me, but PRICE prohibiting an AC adapter? Never seen a clearer example of their obsessive, anti-consumer frugality than this. Well, Sony definitely did its best to match it with the Vita memory card bundle shenanigans. These companies are really something these days
 
Pretty much in line with what I've been expecting.

6-10 battery is great. They should market the shit out of that as its a big win over the non-dedicated market (e.g. my new fancy name for phones)

Might get the fat one, but I actually don't like the design lol! Might wait to hear of any changes to the speakers, they look different which makes me hopeful their pretty good, which will win me around.
 
Of course there was no second stick. They aren't going to splinter their install base. Sony got shit for years and didn't do it on the PSP for a that reason.

why did you repost this on this page
 
Since there's no second circle pad

I guess they'll have to release a Circle Pad Pro LL

Seems like they could have easily fit one with the added size. Regardless it's an improvement, especially the huge screen. It'll only increase the immersion factor in 3D.
