Who’d have considered that adding extra grunt under the hood, a glasses-free 3D display up top, a radio “tag mode,” and automatic wireless updates to the 3DS would can degrade life of the battery? Not our naive souls. The identical Q&A that informed us about Nintendo’s Spot Pass plans for a 3DS has been found to also contain some commentary on battery endurance from Satoru Iwata himself. The firm chief says “it truly is inevitable that Nintendo 3DS would have been a device which requires more frequent recharging than Nintendo DS” (r4 ds / [url=http://www.r4king.com/]r4 card?) and notes that as being a major reason a charging cradle will probably be bundled within the new console’s retail package. With tongue firmly wedged in cheek, Iwata shows that perhas [url=http://www.r4king.com/]nintendo ds r4 will need to advise users to deposit the 3DS into its cradle after they get home, however overall point is just as clear as it is obvious: your much stronger handheld will be needing more power.
