Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."

Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.
80 hours for the standard controller is fantastic. And 4 hours for the tablet is pretty decent considering the 3DS/Vita have around that.
Its kind of simple. Buy a dock or plugin the wiiu controller when you have finished playing and you dont have an issue.
Apologists are funny. I''m a BIG Nintendo fan, but even I won't deny the truth: the Gamepad's battery life is terrible.
Between 3 and 5 hours for a device that doesn't do any processing? My android tablet has a battery life between 7 and 10 hours, and it does heavy processing, it has a higher resolution screen than the Wii U's gamepad, it's multitouch, it's wireless, it has gyro sensors, etc...
So, yeah. My guess is that the gamepad has a pretty small battery on it, hence the short battery life. Maybe Nintendo did it to cut costs, or to avoid making the gamepad too heavy, or a combination of the two. Either way, the fact remains that 3 to 5 hours of charge for a game controller is terrible.
Oh, well. I can still live with that, luckily for me, I have a power outlet pretty close to my couch, where I do all my gaming. But not everyone is going to have it so convenient, the cases will vary according to each gamer's setup.
What?
plenty of time for me, if i need more time i will use the pro controller
