Rumor: Nintendo Switch Final Dev Kits Are Being Sent Out, Battery Life Has Improved

ThisGenGaming says "A known insider has shared some more information regarding the Nintendo Switch."

It also uses the same charger as my phone, so yet another plus.

[Fishy Fingers]

Was wondering what port they'd use. Makes sense to adopt a standard connection and make charging on the go far more convenient.

[meche334]

Supposed to be USB C

[EddieNX]

Nintendo seem to be getting everything right with the Switch, it's one fantastic rumour after the next

[Weapon_of_choice]

Exactly, rumours, we shouldn't be having to guess and hoping for rumours so close to release.

[Melankolis]

You red or blue?

[deafdani]

I hope this is true. 5 to 8 hour battery life would be pretty good, actually.

[vikingland1]

That's better than I expected, my launch DS4 only gets 3 to 5 hrs.

[deafdani]

Yeah, mine too. But to be honest, the DS4's poor battery life never made any sense, because it doesn't have a screen or anything similar like the Wii U's Gamepad.

The DS3's battery life was great, and then there's the Wii U Pro controller that lasts for 80 hours...

The second generation of DS4 now lasts more than 8 hours, though.

[Moonman]

I was hoping for 6 to 7 so 8 is very awesome....and hopefully that is at max settings with 8 or more at low settings.....

[deafdani]

The rumor says it's 5 to 8 depending on settings, so 8 is the longest.

Still better than the Wii U gamepad's 3 to 5 hours, and that was only a controller with a screen.

[vikingland1]

Yes I agree, I have the Uncharted DS4 and it lasts way longer than my launch DS4. I wonder how the new controller for the PS4P lasts.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I sure hope battery life is improved. That's kind of the pivotal part the whole unit itself

[Next_gen_2015]

Its good that the battery life is getting a boost. Pretty hyped! XD

[ShadowKnight]

Wow it's almost here with my most anticipated game the legend of Zelda!!!!! Just 3 more months.

[Weapon_of_choice]

How about improving the information stream on the Switch? Still don't know what we're getting.

[Fist4achin]

I hope they don't use the same batteries from the Samsung notes. That could turn out to be a hot mess!
