P1. Well that’s not great. It was to be expected though.
Well, that sucks for people who intend on using it on the go. But at least you can carry portable batteries, although not ideal, but at least its an option.
6.5 obviously is the time you get for minimum usage and minimum demanded perfomance. I guess about 3 – 3.5 hours will be the average time you’ll get for regular gaming. Not very great, but to be expected.
Isn’t 3 hours what the original 3DS had?
The 3DS was 3 to 4.5 hours I believe.
So really not that bad considering how much more power this thing has.
There’s a possibility that a third party battery that can hold up to 10hours of gameplay?
*shrug* If we can use car chargers with this thing, no biggie if I feel like playing something like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Smash Brothers on it. Not like I’ll take it outside of the house much either way.
