Personally, I'm glad to see less devices ship with a USB AC adapter. I've got too many to count. I've slowly started giving them away to friends and family when someone's breaks, but I've still got a few ranging from 0.7A to 2A. For many things, it's not one adapter to one device - most of the time, my phone, Kindle, PS4 controllers and camera all share a single charger (and a single USB A to micro B cable).

I was frustrated that some Nintendo portable consoles don't come with an AC adapter, until a few years in, I had bought a couple of special edition consoles and realised I've got three Nintendo DS chargers. Their adapter design has been stable for many years, so only first-timers actually need to buy a charger.

I suspect the NES mini will ship with a bundle via the official Nintendo store that will include an AC adapter for those in need of one. They'll also likely do a two-controller option too. Their bundles are really appealing for the portable consoles.

I don't think any console ships with two controllers unless it's part of a bundle or special edition these days.
