3 hours and 3 minutes with the Wifi ON and the bright at default (75%)

You keep being wrong, again and again. 

If only that was the case. I linked a renowed website, you linked some random youtube video.

Sure, lets go with your dream land. Reality will settle soon enough.

Oh man, you can be so deeply annoying, I linked a youtuber with 450k users that I highly doubt is trying to lie his audience, but you are too freaking blind to see that, of course.

You know what's the real difference between both videos? One is using headphones, yes, he is getting 15 minutes more of battery even with the Wifi ON just because he is not using the speakers of the console, and you know what? When you are on a fuckking bus, train, airplane or whatever playing Zelda you are not gonna have the volume at max, probably not even ON, and probably you are gonna be using headphones, so his picture of how the battery lasts is actually more realists in a pragmatic scenario. But keep with your voluntary blindness.

Thank you for understanding. Yes, the values are different because the tests were different. Also, i don't think your youtuber was playing the game aswell. He just left it on a demo loop.

He specifically says that he was playing it normal with a Pro controller, and you can see the headphones are conected.



Even if it was 2 hours and 48 minutes, I don't see why that's so bad.

That's enough to play for a lengthy commute to work, charge it at the office, play a bit more during one's break, charge it again, play it on the commute home...

3 hours was perfectly acceptable for the vita and 3ds for demanding games. It seems like people like to bicker over useless things.

No , its only when you make it fall once, then thé joycons cant remain on thé console

dude on the stream dropped it and said the blue one came off, but when they looked into it more, both come off just as easilly, without the button pressed.

it's poor design, pure and simple.

Oh you.

Not only they admited that their console felt into concrete floor before realizing that the Joycons could slide without pressing the button, which suggests that could have been damaged on the fall since nobody else seems to be reporting this, but also they are far from just sliding randomly and unexpectedly:



Good work with your hyperboles, even in neogaf people is laughing at this

ya there is a huge difference between them sliding out unexpectedly and them sliding out by force.

He specifically says the left one came off when he dropped it, then when showing the difference with the two, realizes the right one comes off easily too, all of this after a Nintendo rep told them it was built to take a beating.

however you spin it, a latched mechanism should not be able to be defeated by a small amount of force, and it shows that over time with continued use the problem would only get worse as the plastic slide rails wear down.

you can wave your hand and dismiss it all you want, but that's going to be a genuine issue within the first 6 months of release for a lot of people.

You tell 'em. I'm so sick of fans ACTUALLY DEFENDING faulty functions of the hardware. They always try to dissmiss, attack, and downplay genuine criticism and spin it in their favor. They don't understand that criticisms such as this are NOT blind attacks. Calling out problems like this is exactly what Nintendo needs right now. People need to accept the faults that are cited.

 

 

I mean look at this

 

Just like the thing you just mentioned, this is a serious issue! So what if he used a little force to snap off the Joycons from the Switch? So what if they gave the Switch a teeny weeny, completely unnoticeable nudge by smacking it down with a Joycon to knock  it over its stand? So what? There's no way these are worse than grossly exaggerated. These are serious issues!
