3 hours?! Christ... How the fuck do you even call that portable?
Damn that does not sound good. One of the reasons I was kind of interested in the Switch is because I travel a lot, many times without access to a place to charge something. I'll wait till more official sources chime in but that is a bit disheartening to hear.
The same people who expect PS4/Xbox One Power on portable will now be shocked that the battery life isnt +10h xD
3 hours?! Christ... How the fuck do you even call that portable?
Hopefully 3rd party batteries will be able to save us
Three hours sounds about right for a Tegra based product
I doubt the additional processing in in the dock, but rather just using either upclocking on the Tegra, or ARM's big.LITTLE architecture and switching to the faster processors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE
Problem witht he statement is the clarification of whether that is 3 hours of gaming or just 3 hours.
Of course GAF will overreact, but the clarification is important.
3 hors of gaming is fine for most people, would prefer 5.
I trust Laura but that comment is from a Ubisoft employee regarding dev kits. So we can only use it as a base
As all Nintendo Switch games need to be playable with the handheld in the console dock, all Switch games will be playable without touch.
tablets have way better battery life than 3 hrs, so I have a hard time believing this
Why? Just curious. She was pretty accurate with her reports in the months leading up to the reveal.
3 to 5 hours for the original Nintendo 3DS.
She also explained that (and took blame) in detail in the article.
