Also, after you do a Firmware update, you will gain up to 2 hours extra battery life for playing 3D games with the 3D ON. And that's a regular size 3DS.

Where'd you hear this?


Experience, I remember when I did an update to go from firmware 4.2.0-9 to 4.3.9-10, and I had clearly gain an additional 60 to 90 minutes of 3D gaming fully charged.

And now with Firmware 5.1.0-11, I have clearly gotten an additional 30 to 60 minutes battery life. But I only got to enjoy up to 5 hours of 3D gaming for like 1 week because my battery has recently started to degenerate because of the over 500 charges, but I still have a more longer battery life with 5.1.0-11 then I did with firmware 4.5.0-10 & below.

Just playing such games as Mutant Mudds on the go was a great example, because I use to get up to 3 hours unplugged, but then with firmware 4.3.0-10 I was getting Mutant Mudds for 4 whole hours.
