All right, then about 75-80% of all 3DS games last for 5 hours. But what about the Switch? Will every game be as demanding as BotW? Or is BotW akin to Smash and Monster Hunter on the 3DS? IMO 3 hours of unplugged playtime might as well be 1 hour. If Splatoon 2, and Odyssey wind up lasting 5 hours on the Switch, then I take back my "portability is a gimmick" statement.

that is such a dumb statement, how many hours do you think the average person plays in a day? its not 3 hours and it sure as hell isnt 3 hours in a single sitting, let alone while being away from a power source.

Outside of a small group of people who like to complain on this internet, a 3-5 hour battery life is fine.

Anybody that legit plays a game for 3 hours and then puts it down either has an extremely hectic life, or just doesn't like video games that much. I play 4 hours minimum. 8 hours on a day off. I average 35-40 hours a week. I ride a bike 7 miles to work, and go to the gym 5 days a week, so it isn't like I'm just sitting around all day munching Doritos and chugging Mountian Dew while gaming.
