WiiU-controller less battery life than 3DS/Vita ?

With that display on the controller i guess we have to play with wired charge-cable almost all the time? If they even have that option to do so, or do we have to change batteries every 2-3hrs?

This must be the most worse controller ever :cry:

No source but this problem just hit me today, with the direction 3DS/Vita goes with battery time i am worried. I just hope Nintendo at least add charge cable cuz i dont want change batteries...

But same time it will feel bad they say it is wireless when you must play with charge cable plugged in most the time tho...

I certainly hope that they have a wired version of the pad. I hate charging/replacing the batteries for my controllers.

It has a 6 inch 1080p screen and youll be using it in the same room as the console. Are people really getting pissed over this?

Yes i will be pissed depending how they do it, i rly hated how they did it with Wii remote, if i have to change batteries every 2-4hrs i will be pissed for sure.

They've already said u can charge while playing, so it doesn't really make that much difference, on topic tho....... it's not a portable handheld, so who cares?

I play with my controller plugged in whenever possible. I hate lag and I hate batteries, plus I'm never more than 6-8 feet from my consoles anyway. I go out of my way to buy wired controllers when the option is available.famicommander

Oh well then, that is good, hope they come with a wired version of the controller to cuz i see no point with wireless only half the gaming time.

I have not followed every news of this console and this was only big question i had:P

It's already been confirmed multiple times that the controller has a rechargable battery similar to the 3DS and that it can be charged while playing, therefore no reason for concern

Wow @ the damage control LOL :lol::lol::lol: anyway yes i am kinda pissed because they advertised the being able to go anywhere in your house basically and still play the Wii U. but with this well its much less interesting and useful.

same here..wireless is NOT for gaming be it controllers OR wifi.

I sure hope the charger cable for the Wii-U is much longer than the one Sony gives with the PS3 at least.

As long as it can be charged while system is on stand by I'm good since most of my gaming sessions dont last last more than 2~3 hours at max.

Its not meant to be a portable. I dont see a problem.DaBrainz

The problem is that it is "wireless" but it require to much power to be wireless.

They should just remove batteries and make it wired straight away...

Yes, but for a controller 2-4hrs is not that long, compare that to like ps3/360 controllers. Yeah sure they dont have a display but they not need to because...they are just gamepads.

I think you missed the point
