This battery debate is really confusing me :/ . I was really hyped about the 3DS until I read the abysmal durability of the battery. I think I'm going to wait till the launch, where people will be giving more exactly details.


Nintendo tends to give "peak use" for their battery figures initially, I'd wait for clarification.  For comparison, on their other handhelds for "peak use" battery life they said...

  • GBA SP: 8-10 hours
  • DS: 6-10 hours
  • GB micro: 5-8 hours
  • DS Lite: 5-8 hours
  • DSi: 3-4 hours
  • DSi XL: 3-8 hours
  • 3DS: 3-5 hours
