This comes from one NX/Switch insider (NateDrake/Direct-Feed Games)that knows alot staffs about Switch but he also is very careful to not say to much, he also have some connection with Laura and Emily, for instance he from summer claimed that NX is Nvidia Pascal based.

- Final Devkits being shipped. No notable changes in specs that he knows of.

- Battery life of 3hrs is based on old Devkit. Nintendo is aiming at 3DS battery life, so between 5 to 8 hours.

- 5-8hrs is the range I've heard they are targeting. Hearing final dev kits went out in mid-November was an interesting detail and I thought people would want to hear about the battery range they are targeting.

If they somehow can get 8 hours out of this thing, that'd be heavenly.

Which 3DS model gets 8 hours of battery life? My word 8 hours would be unbelievable. I only own two of the original model 3DS so I do not know this answer.

How in the world are they going to have all this going on and keep the price down? I am hyped at all I am learning and I have little doubt the price will be reasonable. I am starting to think Nintendo may be magicians.

Anything over 3 hours is fine with me.

I don't know where people have the time to play video games uninterrupted for 3 continuos hours outside of the house aside from an airplane or train, and most of those have a USB plug in terminal for long journeys.

If it can get 5 hours or more on average, it shall be time to get out the super lube

New 3DS XL has battery life up to around 7 hours.

If this is true...
Our wallets are not safe.

Sometimes, people forget to charge between sessions. I have done that with my 3DS and laptop many times.

I'm willing to accept 3-5 so this is great if true .

Wow! If I were not attached to my two day one 3DS consoles, I would probably upgrade for that feature. But attachment is attachment and defies logic and reasoning. Lol.
