Disappointed that your Wii U Game Pad only gets 4 or 5 hours on a single charge. Well you may be even more disappointed when you see that the battery inside the controller doesn't even take up most of the space in the compartment it is housed in.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
It keeps the costs down, I suppose, which brings profit forward. :(
Actually, yes, I believe it. It's the only reason for such a short battery life, seeing how most tablets have twice that or more.
3 parties batteries on the way
This has already been made known a week or two ago.
There is also going to be a NYKO battery pack add on that will double it's life. In the U.S. it shows as $19.99.
Besides, the controller works when charging and the cable is pretty long. Haven't measured it but probably like 8 feet.
There will probably be other battery solutions in time as well. But as is it's not that bad, with the Nyko solution, it'll be fine.
Meanwhile if you own a pro controller its charge will last 80 hours, so there are a lot of options of what one can do.
Milking the 'I got it first' crowd. Nintendo always does this to us. Could be worse, like it was with the 3DS. But no doubt within a year or so new consoles and game pads will come with a more substantial battery - that lo and behold, fits right into the original housing...
