I think of completely different actually, among other issues the NS is the solution to Nintendo competing with themselves, how they have two separate systems even though the reason to own either is exactly the same, for the Nintendo games. That's also what's always seperated them from the competition, and besides playing home console quality games anywhere, that's still the case with the NS. I mean I'm not really sure what else they could do to give more reason to own it over the competition. Nintendo games are the only reason I need!

But anywho I think the correct thing to say here is that the gimmick is good but the execution could be bad. Let's hope it's good!

3 hour battery isn't what I would call "being able to play anywhere". Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I will skip it if the battery life is bad cause the trailer 110% sold me on it. I am just wondering that the people this is targeting who are the causal market is going to percieve it when the negatives of the reviews come out. 

Yes, it has Nintendo games and they are great! Its why I buy Nintendo games but its hard to deny that (provided they don't have something else in the works other than a smaller version), if it doesn't sell close to wiiU + 3ds numbers, it won't exactly be seen as a great success. Having a good battery life just ensures that it has a better chance to achieve that success.

But I will say that I do agree with your statement about the gimmick is good and execution is bad. And yea, lets hope so!

Technically you can still play anywhere, just not for more than 3 hours. :L

I actually think casuals would maybe mind the battery less than us hardcores since I imagine they play in short burst more often, like 30m Mario Kart here n there, but yeah I have no idea. I probably shouldn't be generalising like that, a game like Animal Crossing can easily be played for hours no matter who you are afterall. If 3 hours really is the limit, we'll just have to wait and see how that affects sales if at all. I only know that's just barely acceptable to me and I'm hoping for better battery sold separately or a remodel soon.
