Generic AC Power Adapter Charger for Nintendo 3DS/DSi/XL

Had this charger for 3 or 4 yrs now and still charging my obsolete 3ds. lol

I lost my original charger for my 3DS so I decided to purchase a new one. It does its job but as other reviews say, both the console and the charger gets hot while charging. Dropped it down to 4 stars for that reason.

So far its been working fine on charging my Nintendo DS XL. The only thing I wish was different is the cord length, to be a little longer. Other than that, its been doing its job.

It’s perfect for charging my son’s Nintendo DS3. Great value for the money!

I bought this charger for my sons 3ds after he misplaced his original one. Out of the pack it looks very similar to the one that is included with the 3ds. He plugged it up to charge and after about 20 minutes of it being plugged up he noticed it wasnt charging anymore. So he went to unplug it and quickly jerked his hand back because the charger was so hot! I unplugged it and when I did the charger was so hot that it had literally began to melt while it was plugged in the outlet! Im just thankful that he noticed it wasnt working and it wasnt while he had it plugged up overnight and it could have caught on fire. I know it wasnt very expensive but I would still expect something that I pay money for to do what it is supposed to do without such a major malfunction within the first 20 minutes of use!

This charger did not work for my 3DS XL. It may have been just a fluke, and I did receive a refund because it didnt work. I suspect this situation is not unusual for this particular charger, however. The charger is extremely light and feels very flimsy. Its made by some generic company. When I brought it in to Gamestop to see if anyone knew why it didnt work, I was told that it was the cheapest looking charger they had ever seen. So basically, its a piece of junk taking up space in my house. I gave it an extra star just in case it actually works for most people.

This is our second purchase replacing the first one that failed recently. It works just fine for a Nintendo DS. Not much you can say for a generic adapter charger. Either it works, or it doesnt. In this case, it definitely works. I just hope it last longer than the first one.

Besides the fact that this charger died on me after a month (the seller has offered to send me a replacement), the bigger issue is that since its not OEM charger it will charge the battery of a 3DS BUT dont use it while playing the unit. The uneven trickle of electricity causes the screen to flash at regular intervals while playing it. If you just need an extra travel charger to charge the unit while youre not using it, this will work for you (if it doesnt fail) but if youre looking to replace the OEM charger for your device, this is not the charger for you. Also, the cable is not nearly as long as the OEM cable and it doesnt appear to be as long as the cable pictures in the listing.

No complaints

There is nothing generic about this charger, because it has the ability to charge your Nintendo 3DS/DSi/XL at a super fast pace without over heating as some other charger brands do. It was shipped very fast and didnt cost a lot of money either. Overall Great Charger!
