Wii U Game Pad Battery Life is 3-5 Hours (No USB Charging, AC Cord Only)

[Soundwave]

I view it as OK.

You have to be one seriously lazy mofo not to be able to hit pause and take 10 seconds to plug in AC power for it to recharge.

I'm sure like the 3DS there probably will battery add-ons for people who really must have 5-7 hours.
