That is the USB type C I was referring to previously. It is currently used in many phones I believe. The benefit is that it's a nonpropriety charger. |
Hmm... the phone ones usually got a cable that is USB in one end and the entrance that goes on your phone in the other. That is how you connect your phone to the PC for example. I don't see the USB entrance on that one. The image is not zoomed in enough to tell what is in the end of that cable, but its safe to say that the part that connects to the power source is fused with it.
But that adaptor may connect directly to the gamepad. If it does, you can carry it around to charge it. If it doesn't you need to buy one.

I have a 3DS. I can get it empty in 3 hours with the right games. But more to the point: Nintendo is officially given the Switch a battery life of 3.5 to 6.5 hours. The german Nintendo-site for New 3DS states 3.5 to 6 hours for new 3DS and 3.5 to 7 hours for new 3DS XL. So Switch is exactly in the same ballpark here. I'm not totally happy with the battery life of the 3DS, the DS was much better. But it is OK, with me taking an USB-powerbank with me. So nothing changes in this regard with the Switch. See here for the technical data (in german): http://www.nintendo.de/games/oms/new-nintendo-3ds/system.html |
Surely you don't need me to say that 3 is less than 3.5 and that is not about intensive games. You will have your 3DS spend that much if you are constantly using online features with maximum illumination. Still this is the absolute minimum you are talking about. It's not the "ballpark", its outside of the ballpark, even if you were to stretch it that far.
On the Switch... all we got is that its going to take 3 hours with a single player game.
I really shouldnt have to tell anything more than that. You are reaching really hard here.
