Like I said in my title, it's an ACadapter, and it's first-party, meaning you don't have to worry about it screwing up your NGPC. And to the guy who said that this takes away all the portability, ever think people play their NGPC at home or in a place with a free outlet? Why wast batteries when you don't have to? And then when you want to leave, just unplug it! Please, think before you review.

A previous reviewer said the Game Boy's adapter was compatible and would cost less. Game Boys use three times as much power as NGPCs, though, so using the wrong adapter means risking burning out the unit. Always get the manufacturer's model and avoid universal solutions when you're dealing with power sources, or at least check yourself to make sure the power rating printed on the unit matches the source exactly. Besides, this one's nicer than the other AC adapter designs because the transformer block is in the middle of the cord instead of at the contacts, meaning you don't have to make any extra room for it in the wall socket -- it'll plug in like a regular two-pronged power cord.

I've owned the adaptor since the system was released in the U.S. a couple of years ago, and it works just fine. It's an AC adaptor, not much to get wrong there. If you don't want it, don't buy it...but don't be scared off by that bizarre anti-AC adaptor rant.
