Biggest problem is the charger it seems. 4 hours is good enough for me, I don't play that long unless I'm home anyways. Playing it while on the road or air with 3d on would make me want to throw up. I'm still gonna wait for the 3ds lite though.

Yeah, the charger can be a real drag. It's pretty awkward having to sit around for *SO* long to wait for the flipping thing to charge.

wwm0nkey5162d ago

Even though 4 hours is just fine im getting the Black one so that Nyko battery pack will look just fine on it. Hell might as well get it to pump 8 hours.

kingspoonian5162d ago

I kind of wish they did an Aqua Blue version too, tbh.

wwm0nkey5162d ago

They probably will down the line. By then though you can probably just buy a better battery on Ebay or something though.

Mayne. I'm almost tempted to wait for the inevitable 3DSXL. But I want that 3D goodness now :(

wwm0nkey5161d ago

Just get the Nyko pack or wait a week or month till they release a better battery that you can buy.

You dont really need 10+ hours for a handheld though.

the battery isnt that bad. Better than the ios,psp, and ngp battery

And battery technology isnt really evolving enough to think a nintendo upgrade wouldnt be any better than it is now

@ disagrees

What are you disagreeing with? its confirmed the ngp will pretty much use the psp battery. Getting 5 hours playing games is far better

f7897905161d ago (Edited 5161d ago )

Your getting disagrees because the PSP gets about the same battery life in my experience.

It also lasted about 15 hours with the upgraded battery playing gameboy games (cfw!) when there was a week long power outage. It all comes down to what you are playing.

maniac765161d ago

got my 3ds and the charger is a drag when you want to play and charge at the same time cause it seems to just sit on the charger,so its like you gotta hold it tighter then the norm,why couldnt it be like the ds and just be a str8 plug in ffs

I love the dynamic of Nate and Sam in Uncharted 4. Nate has given up the treasure hunting life for Elena, he just loves her that much despite living his whole life off the thrill of his adventures. But then Sam came back and made Nate "temporarily" forgot who he is to become who he was. That scene where Elena found out was one of the best scene in Uncharted imo.
