I was caring enough to try and avoid doing anything that would make you post that since I know what a dork you are, but there it is anyway. It is comforting to know you always stay indoors though. OTHER PEOPLE TRAVEL AROUND, THEY HAVE A LIFE. MOBILE DEVICES ARE MADE FOR THOSE PEOPLE, YOU FUCKING RETARD.

Thats a car charger? lol
I posted alternatives for when you can and can't use a charger. A 2000mAh battery should technically last approx 1.5x as long as your standard 1300 mAh 3DS battery (if that is what is included.) Your 3-5 hour battery life suddenly becomes 4.5-7.5 hours at a very low cost.
Frankly with the unmodified battery scoring around 3-5 hours of battery life, a little more with 3D and other features turned off, I find it hard to believe that they're going to successfully pull off a Pokemon game with the 3DS. Don't get me wrong, I know they'll try... but considering the majority of their consumer market wont be going out and buying new batteries or modding their 3DS's with longer lasting batteries, it's going to be a tough sell. I can easily spend 6+ hours (total) playing Pokemon intermittently throughout my time out of the house, away from any place I can sit down and let it charge.
Also, the wire used to charge the 3DS, does that have a USB port? I've never seen a Nintendo handheld with a USB port and I haven't seen a 3DS in person or unboxed yet so I hope this isn't a stupid question but yeah, if so that might help for some people who have laptops or something like that.
Heck, my phone gets around 7 hours of battery life and once it dropped below 80% during the first half of the day, I was afraid to use it for anything that wasn't absolutely necessary because I never knew what was going to come up later in the day that might make me want to use it... be it either an important phone call, needing to look something up, or even boring bored enough to want to play a game or something.
I fear a 3-4 battery life on the 3DS might make me treat it the same way. I'd be afraid to play it for more then a few minutes, because I never knew if something would happen where I might stuck completely bored with nothing to do, and away from any power outlets. Prime example? Bus ride home from the city, that's a 45 minute ride right there, and could easily escalate far beyond that if traffic is bad.
It looks like an amazing little handheld device, I'm not out to bring it down... I really want one, but that battery life, for now, is a real deal breaker for me.
I haven't purchased (nor plan to purchase) a 3DS. I just want to add my unnecessary two cents to this conversation. Not really to flame or troll, but mostly to point out my whole issue with portable gaming that most people are aware of but just forget about when it comes to purchasing one...
1. Most of the time, everyone plays the damn hand-held in their house, don't deny it. Sure you go on a road trip and think, "OOO I'll bring my portable device and play it!", but what happens... Either you're too damn busy... you can't find it... or you do play it, only to realize that exploring the campsite is a hell of a lot more fun than what Mario is up to in a game you could just play a home! So just get a console...
2. Battery life isn't an issue, and if it is... You're the issue.... I'm not going to go into this any further... i tried and I just look like a super meanie grumpy face....
3. Wait for the Super 3DS Xi L Elite Pro Plus Pocket XTRA3D version (you'll find it coming out right when the next gameboy is coming out, you know, so it's also obsolete as soon as you buy it). That's the version that will have everything the originally designed it with, but took out, because they knew it's not as marketable to sell one version for 5 years.
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.

This argument would be slightly effective if the 3DS had no games on it. But it does. Games that you won't see on other systems. I don't mean 3D games because the Xbox 360 and PS3 play those. I'm talking about specific games. "I want to play Pokemon Black!" "Just get a Wii and Pokemon Battle Revolution because they're the same thing." Except they aren't.

Yeah lets purchase a console and miss out on tons of great games that are exclusive to handhelds.

Alright, well that's a little better than I thought. I honestly wasn't sure. I mean I know things like MP3 players, phones, etc all have USB ports now, but I wasn't sure if handhelds made the jump yet.
I don't play Call of Duty. And let me tell YOU something!
<Insert large paragraph why you're wrong>
<Insert larger paragraph why I'm right and continue to point out you're naivete>
<Insert concluding paragraph of how knowledgeable I am, how there is no way I'm wrong, and again you're dumb>
(await reply of your less-than-witty response that makes me even more angry, in turn I take it out on my cat who didn't even do anything and has no knowledge of what a 3DS is.)
P.S. Two cents are just that.....

Enjoy your Call of Duty.
I completely agree with the three points.
Enjoy playing your unchallenging, non-violent, basic games that were designed for 8 year olds.

We'll see, I suppose.
