Enough bashing the 3DS's battery life it is perfectly fine and no excuse...

Nintendo set the standard on the DS. When you downgrade on the next one you can't be surprised if people complain. Future iterations should improve not decrease features. Bread_or_Decide

I dont think he is referring to the system as whole just the battery. One thing that made the DS awesome was that you could play it forever and it wouldnt die. It is a downgrade when comparing it to that,

According to IGN, the battery can last as little as 2.5 hours. Now that is simply terrible. What if you have to travel and can't charge?

yeah...its a complete deal breaker 3-5 hours? at 250 bucks? yeah hell with that....

Imo games > battery life and if you are interested in the games you could allways get another battery.

It's not a deal breaker for me but I'm not a fan of the battery life.

I don't play handhelds on the go much so I'm mostly playing in my home. Still, I don't like playing handhelds while I'm hooked up to a cord.

I'm waiting for a redesign regardless, so hopefully it improves some.

Who plays handheld games more than 3-5 hours anyway?

but to be honest it's a big downgrade, and nintendo's handhelds always had an amazing battery life that's why it is a disappointment... for some people

Since the thing only costs 100 bux to build, you would think they could have splurged a little bit and got a nicer battery.

Not really, I am prefer the Psp and never owned a DS but the 3DS is garranteed victory in the handheld market this gen. The NGP is hopefully successful though as it looks like I will prefer it.

People will buy the 3DS because of 3D and the NGP and 3DS will share the "hardcore games". Sony can hope only to exceed the psp's sales but its pretty much a given they cannot "win" especially coming late like the N64, Xbox, and GC did.
