Thats why I'm waiting a couple years to get a 3ds. Also I'm kinda disappointed about the fact that te screen on the 3ds is smaller then my dsi xl. I know its not a big deal but Iwent from a ds lite to a dsi xl,also I'm waiting to see f they come out with more colors.
3-5 hours is alot for me,plus if i am gonna play for long peiods of time ill just use the charger,i know this is for comedy and i totally respect that,i personally dont find it bad as other people say,great video in a whole though
if you read some comments, you will realise that this is the battery life for highest light setting.
Even if the 3DS will get a DSi counterpart or a XL version, this will happen after 1-3 years. Are you going to save money for that? And the XL version was just for people who play at home and for Adults which have larger hands.
playing while charging sucks balls. l dont want to stand in an uncomfortable area to play something. 3ds needs more battery life. dont care how it can fit sleek in a pocket. nintendo should make it bigger for a bigger battery
i dont always buy the upgrades. i bought the dsi cuz my ds lite recently got the top screens colors messed up, the hinge broke off, and the shoulder buttons dont work. it coniently happened wen the dsi came out.
you must read this. once you have started there is no turning. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy
Yes, I have a 3DS and yes the battery life stinks. I get 6 hours of battery life AT THE MOST with lowest brightness,no wireless and few to no 3D... It IS dissappointing. I get about 4 hours with Internet activated, 5 hours with Local Wireless activated, and 5:30 hours on DS games.
i got mine a week ago and it died on me about 1 min before a save point.... I was playing about 90% of the time with no volume what so ever and i got just under 3 hours
to be fair nintendo did try to increase the battery life but the 3d takes a lot of juice if they try to increase the battery even more the system will cost $300!!
I ordered a battery from wiiworldstore supposedly it is a higher grade compacity one which offers 20 hours of battery life continuous play unlike the nyko which looks bulky and gives you the options of ugly battery with no 3ds back plate or find a alternitive and i finally found one now theres the one from the wiiworldstore with supposed 20 hours continuous or you can purchase a 2000 mah li-ion battery from this one store ill review the battery i ordered if it works as told ill tell you
From all reports, It looks like you get less than 5 hours with everything turned off (3D, wifi, brightness turned low). With everything on, you get about 2 to 2.5 hours.
That's why I'm getting the Nyko battery pak...supposed to replace the Nintendo battery for twice the battery life (though it does make the system thicker :/
Well, I have to say this but if you look on the 3DS site, it says that the wireless is on and at full brightness and 3D. They didn't test it properly. So I am not worried about the battery life of the Nintendo 3DS.
Hmmm.. i dont really watch rants.. But Nintendo is NOT making another 3DS system, the reason why they made the DSI is that it would get the Buyers of the DS to get to now the features a little bit more so there comfortable with the 3DS.. Nintendo has done this before with the GameBoy! Now listen, When the gameboy came out there was no color, Now nintendo made the GameBoy Lite(This Handheld never made it to US.) so the buyers are comfortable with getting the GameBoy Color....
dud think about it Light, Double screen, 3D, i mean whos gonna sit their for 5 hours any way and play it stright so when your not playing use the prtable charger :)
Every single portable from Nintendo has been redesigned atleast 2 TIMES! Nintendo also has a terrible track record with the VC on the Wii. Anyone who picks this up on launch day and wants to rant about how disappointed they are can suck dick. Wait for Nintendo to prove the new VC if that's what you're buying it for. Wait for the redesign if you want more battery and perhaps a wider 3D viewing angle. I ain't giving any company shit unless the show me what I wanna see.
You did... some research... sort of. The 3-5 hours battery life is on the highest brightness settings while using wi-fi on Max volume without headphones.
Im pretty sure the 3-5 hours is with the 3DS's brightness and volume turned to MAX. Just like the dsi and ds lite if you play on middle brightness setting your gonna get more battery life. Besides 3-5 hours of gaming a day is plunty for most people. And if your worried about battery life on long trips. Turn off the wifi and 3d and set the brightness low and use head phones you could probably squeeze another 2-3 hours out of the battery life.
iwata has said they have no plans in making an upgraded 3ds any time soon at all. they said they made the 3ds as finalized as they possibly could. so if we even get an upgraded system, it wont be for another 2 to 3 years from now. and 3-5 hours isnt bad. my psp 3000 is 3-5 hours. thats perfect for me. also ngamer(a duetch nintendo review site) has a review build of the 3ds, and they tested the battery. with the wireless turned off and the brightness and 3d at full blast it'll lasts 4 hours.
They tested it... Its about 4 hours with everything on fully max! So if you lower the parts of the system, it could last longer than 5 hours, heck it could last to 8 hours!
You are misninformed about the battery life. The 3-5 hour battery life is an estimate for when the 3DS is on maxmimum settings. Thats means brightest setting and 3D at the highest depth. Most people don't play with both of those at max settings. Remember that the DSi originally had a 3-4 hour batterly life estimate?
It takes 3 hours to charge when you use the cradle, which uses inductive charging, which takes longer, but is better for your battery. Use the regular charger for faster time.
We don't know exactly how the battery life will be. 3-5 hours is an estimate, so it'll most likely be better than that. I assume it's gonna be like the PSP's battery life, which isn't bad. Besides, what normal human being plays games for 5 hours straight, especially on-the-go when you're on the bus or train or waiting in a patient room. Not only that, handhelds have chargers nowadays. It's not like the Game Gear where you have to keep buying a chunk of AA batteries.
What's your source? And why is 3 hours the minimum you get on everything you mentioned? Seems like if you turn all this crap off, your minimum should rise above 3.
@xRapidDavex idk i just like starting out with the lowest number lol but the point is, is that the battery life can increase if u shut off some of the features
@UltimateGCX wait wth you said 3-12 hours with 3d off, wifi off, brightness to its lowest setting and then you say 3-15 hours with 3D off, wifi off, and brightness set to its lowest setting so which one is it and i dont think you can play 3d with ds games if thats what you meant
Wait...Think about it...the 3ds has a whole crap load of new features original Dsi and DS systems DON'T have...I mean come on 3D, Augmented Reality, better wi-fi, acceleromator (I think I spelt it wrong) Gyroscope, 1 normal camera, 2 3d camera's and the new circle pad, 3D games, What did the DSI have well I don't really know but I'll guess Wi-fi, 2 cameras, a few brightness levels..yeah..now for the DS not much stuff except no wi-fi and just for games and touch screen!
and who cares about battery life that much xD ill play it at the docking station at home anyway and as a student i dont have enough time to play 8 hours daily anyway so who cares^^
Is the battery life based on max. brightness? Max. 3D? If so it will be just like the DSi, with 9-14 hours on minimum brightness. Nintendo won't make a console with a life that short! Wake up, people!
Shame that battery life sucks.I mean developers should think of this because if its a portable system no matter how great it is its almost pointless if battery life is short because thats the point of portable system taking it everywhere you go and play it because at home I would obviously rather play home console.and I could careless about all the wireless shit if it only makes already short battery life even shorter.
is stead of you thinking that you know that everyone has there brightness down let me tell you this thats for peaple that dont have a strong eyes and dont want to hurt them
Personally I love Nintendo too but I really hope the 3DS is better than the DSi because I've had mine for about two years now and I keep real good care of my systems and won't let anything happen to them and somehow both my L and R buttons don't work and the mic is broken!!! Maybe I just got a messed up system but I don't know... We need more than 3-5 hours!!!
The battery life is a bit of a shock but It doesn't stop me from wanting this baby. 3-5 hours is enough for me i guess. I love all the Nintendo things you have. Its nice to see someone that loves Nintendo and not Sony or MS for a change.
If they announce a model with better battery life for release by the end of this year,cI'm gonna get that one. Or maybe I'll end up getting the original.
So that's another way to extend the DSi battery life: turn off the wireless communications. But still, I only got the DSi in December 2009, and now the 3DS is coming sometime this March...woe is me. :/
Well unless you intend to wear glasses for the rest of your life 3-5 isn't bad. 3D for an extended period of time isn't conducive to good eye sight anyway.
@vanburen20 I doubt many people will be using their 3DS on the maximum brightness and volume on the speakers, so the 4 hour battery life will be at the most battery-wasting settings you could ever use.
i understand where your coming from but dude, theres so many extra things on the 3ds, the grafics are gonna be amazing for a hand held and the 3d effect makes the system have to prosess every thing twice besides thats why nintendo is giving us that cool charging stand
i dont think the battery life will be 3-5 hours, it just cant be. but with nintendo's conference on the 19th in new york , we should get more details about that
@LyokoWarrier1fan thats ur dsi not the 3ds... The 3ds is gonna be a poweful beast, which is great! But what comes with power comes with a cost of battery life
@vanburen20 I know the battery life will be shorter, I'm just saying it'll most likely be longer than 3-5 hours when you reduce the brightness, 3D, etc. 5 hours is still pretty good IMO, I always bring my DSi charger to places just in case.
I'd be a f#*king idiot to play games on a hand held with brightener screen. Seriously, when i got my first ds lite, i was blown away on how they made the screen crystal clear when i play my gameboy advance games. It was hell of alot better then my old gameboy advance Sp. I wasn't interested on the dsi. If you are a big fan of Gba games, I recommend you keeping the old ds or ds lite.
@vgspazman Ever heard of the GBA SP Plus? The one with the properly backlit screen?
If you are a big fan of GBA games, get the SP Plus. You can play Gameboy Color and multiplayer on it too, unlike the DS/ DS Lite.
The 3DS has backwards compatibility with DS games, and there will be a download service like the Wii's Virtual Console that will allow you to get retro handheld games (GB, GBC, GBA, etc.)
3DS can last longer too if you turn off the 3d functions.

Does the 3DS have the option to TURN OFF the 3D motion?

If they announce a model with better battery life for release by the end of this year,cI'm gonna get that one. Or maybe I'll end up getting the original.

So that's another way to extend the DSi battery life: turn off the wireless communications. But still, I only got the DSi in December 2009, and now the 3DS is coming sometime this March...woe is me. :/

Well unless you intend to wear glasses for the rest of your life 3-5 isn't bad. 3D for an extended period of time isn't conducive to good eye sight anyway.

@vanburen20 I doubt many people will be using their 3DS on the maximum brightness and volume on the speakers, so the 4 hour battery life will be at the most battery-wasting settings you could ever use.

@vanburen20 well look at it this way, u could jsut get the carcharger/wall charger and fuck shit up like that eh?

nice ending but yeah its probably the 3DS cranked to the max is 3-5 hours
Marioiswicked 1 year ago
i understand where your coming from but dude, theres so many extra things on the 3ds, the grafics are gonna be amazing for a hand held and the 3d effect makes the system have to prosess every thing twice besides thats why nintendo is giving us that cool charging stand

Nice rant dude. If nintendo says that they are gonna do something than they should keep their word.
flar3kn1ght 1 year ago
i dont think the battery life will be 3-5 hours, it just cant be. but with nintendo's conference on the 19th in new york , we should get more details about that
ominousyoshi 1 year ago
@ominousyoshi Exactly, the 3 to 5 hour thing is most likely if you have the 3DS cranked up to the max.
He's over reacting, just like in that Donkey Kong Country Returns video.

LyokoWarrier1fan 1 year ago
@LyokoWarrier1fan it was released in a conference its sadly only 3-5 hours according to what Ive seen
vanburen20 1 year ago
@vanburen20 I bet that that is with all the settings turned up to the max. That's how long my DSi lasts with all the settings turned up to the max.
LyokoWarrier1fan 1 year ago
@LyokoWarrier1fan thats ur dsi not the 3ds... The 3ds is gonna be a poweful beast, which is great! But what comes with power comes with a cost of battery life
vanburen20 1 year ago
@vanburen20 I know the battery life will be shorter, I'm just saying it'll most likely be longer than 3-5 hours when you reduce the brightness, 3D, etc. 5 hours is still pretty good IMO, I always bring my DSi charger to places just in case.
LyokoWarrier1fan 1 year ago
I'd be a f#*king idiot to play games on a hand held with brightener screen. Seriously, when i got my first ds lite, i was blown away on how they made the screen crystal clear when i play my gameboy advance games. It was hell of alot better then my old gameboy advance Sp. I wasn't interested on the dsi. If you are a big fan of Gba games, I recommend you keeping the old ds or ds lite.
vgspazman 1 year ago
@vgspazman Ever heard of the GBA SP Plus? The one with the properly backlit screen?
If you are a big fan of GBA games, get the SP Plus. You can play Gameboy Color and multiplayer on it too, unlike the DS/ DS Lite.
The 3DS has backwards compatibility with DS games, and there will be a download service like the Wii's Virtual Console that will allow you to get retro handheld games (GB, GBC, GBA, etc.)
