There's no doubt you remember this incredible Pikachu DSi charger that raises questions of exactly how the little electric mouse is charging the console. Well, North American gamers will soon get their chance to inspect the accessory close-up, as Hori is bringing it Stateside.
You can currently pre-order it from Amazon for $39.99, with the release set for December 23rd. Whether it'll turn up in time for Christmas is just part of the excitement.

Aw man, the DSi isn't included? Pfft
$40? No thanks. Although it may seem cute, I'll stick with my current charger.
Uh, what exactly is Pikachu doing in that photograph? He's pantless and seems very happy.
@SolarJetman
He's pretending that he just won against someone in Mario Kart, and that he has pants on.
this stuff like this that makes me want to hate nintendo
Is this our Mario anniversary gift?
Mmm.....
Don't The DSi comes with a Free Charger?
I don't see a point of getting this of less, this Pikachu can poop Money
@JumpMad: Well, the charger that comes with the DSi is just a cord, this is something you can put on your desk and pop your DSi in whenever you aren't playing it. And even if Pikachu can poop money, it would still be pointless because it's charging your money printer, isn't it?
The only chargers that interest me are the ones that allow me to play my games while the console is being charged. I have to say that i'm very concerned about that on the 3DS, because that charge cradle don't look so confortable.
Yaaaaay, oh, dang, that's cuttin' it kinda close, ain't it?
No one can say Japan gets all the cool stuff now!!!
$40! really as if i would buy that!
I bet Pikachu uses the DSi camera to watch you...
@11 Ok japan gets all cool stuff cheap.
@JebbyDeringer: How about the SNES and NES Controllers for the Wii Remotes? Or the Super Mario Galaxy Platinum Soundtrack? Or all the other goodies they've got?
Completely STUPID!!! I like my regular DSi charger better!!!! And it comes with it!
Isn't this pointless? I mean only people who are gonna keep their DSi or arent going to get a 3DS will get this (not including freaky collectors)
I would SO much rather play my game while letting it charge. Now why in the h*** would Nintendo make the 3DS not be able to play and charge!?
No thank you.
Haha holy crap that's amazing. Even tho I don't have a DSi.
UGH, so annoyingly cute. Looking at that pick reminds me of this from LOLcats: http://www.roflcat.com/let-me-show-you-my-pokemans.php
America gets Pokemon stuff while Japan gets Mario stuff
WHATTHE- 40 bucks? I actually wanted it! Man, what a rip-off...
Seems like it would be fun to have, but I'm just not all that interested....
Too bad I have a DS Fat...
Christ what a pointless rip off.
Only a true hardcore fan will buy this.
$39.00 mmm maybe.
meh, I will pass. Pointless for me.
Cool stuff! ME needs this!
SURPRISE CHARGERSEX!
Very tempting...Maybe if it works with the 3DS I'll get it. Just look how happy Pikachu is.
But where is it plugged in...
I hope 3DS charger station lets you play and charge! or it has a retractable cord that you can plug in if you're playing it, then when your done just set it in cradle. I have 1 question though, does the charger station (3DS) use a port to charge, or one of the couch charge things, because those don't normally work too well.
@Sean007s:
I'm what one may call a "hardcore fan" and even I'm not going to buy this.
However, I do think it is cute and I wouldn't mind owning one if I had a large sum of cash with absolutely nothing to do with.
Not very long ago that picture was my avatar!
Way too pricey. I wanted to buy this . . . but not at $40!
Two words... Pointless Crap!
@Demon
In a practical way yes, but it's decorative and cheerful, lighten up!
40$!!!! :0
It's pretty cool, but man is that a steep price, I'll stick with my ol' regular DSi charger.
$40 is too much
Can't afford it period.
Does not want to know what the surprise is....
