The fact that, unlike the 3ds and all previous generations, the games on Switch will be home console quality titles and not super cheap budget games like all handheld games are, makes me not want to complain about battery life.

So it could last 10 seconds and you'd be okay with that? :L

Seriously though, home console quality is fine and good, but above all they should make sure it's still a good portable, that's what the majority of their userbase plays on.

I'm saying with 3+ hours of games like a full HD Zelda game on the go, I'm not going to complain whether its 3 hours or 8 hours. Obviously, if it only lasted an hour, that just wouldn't work, but rarely am I in a situation where I play a video game for 3 straight hours, let alone one on the go. The only thing I will need the long battery life for is on roadtrips or on planetrips
