Dang. If only the 3ds would last that long...
In fact, it would be cooler if the 3ds slide pad extended 3ds battery by 2-3 hours instead...

They could have put another battery into the add-on itself, doubling the life of the console...I don't know why they didn't, the space for such a battery was there after all.

Because it would increase the cost several times ?

Sure, but it's sold at 1500 yen, an addon with a battery sold at 2500 yen could even sell better.
