Forums - Nintendo - Nyko Extended battery for the 3DS: gives you moar power but........

The old chaps at Arstechnica tested the new Nyko battery for the 3DS, at full effects, sound, WiFi and bright they got 5 hours and 45 miunutes of continue gameplay.

The Nyko battery lasted five hours and forty minutes. Well done! This was accomplished under punishing conditions; if you turn off WiFi, use headphones, turn power save mode on, and dial down the brightness a few notches, you suddenly have a system that's ready for long flights or marathon playing sessions. For $20 this is a great addition to your system, even if the black coloring looks pretty goofy on the aquamarine 3DS. The loss of the charging cradle is annoying, but the additional play time makes it worthwhile.

Now some thing came to my mind:

1.- The instlation of this device nuffilled NIntendo's warranty?

2.- You can't use NIntendo's cradle anymore so you have to buy another one.

3.- It's worthy for 30 bucks?

4.- What we're going to do with the other battery? Poisoning the planet even more?

5.- Should I take tacos or burger???

Burgers, clearly burgers.



Tacos! Damn you for making me hungry! >_>

Late night Taco Bell anyone? nah I prefer homemade, but don't have the time to make some.

 

Also I saw another battery plug-in, not sure of the name, but can anyone research other battery alternatives for the 3DS?



 

        

I'll just wait for a revision where the battery actually lasts an appreciable time.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Sounds like Nyko is a misoppotunity.

There's no reason why it should become incompatible with the cradle.

Maybe it's using a fast charger instead of the Nintendo super slow charge?

Burgers, for sure.

hmm.. looks okay to me; i prefer it bulkier in that sense anyway. that's why i like them nerf cases for DS



Another review, seems like this thing is the real deal:

3D on, brightness maximum, wireless on:
Nyko Power Pak : 5:33
3DS battery: 2:52

3D off, brightness at minimum, Power-Saving on, wireless off:
Nyko Power Pak : 9:04*
3DS battery: 4:40
