Everyone loves to overreact, surely.Why do people still trust those wacky google translations for anything? About the "soft" play mode thing, the original text only mentions soft as (sofuto), which is an abbreviation of software borrowed from english.
The correct translation would be : "If playing 3DS software - approximately 3 to 5 hours"
It doesn't say anything about "soft" play or anything, so since it specifically says that the battery life can be higher depending on the brightness conditions, it should be safe to say that the 3 to 5 hours average is with the highest brightness settings, tag mode on, etc
