3DS Battery Life Problems Solved


There has been some concern about the battery life of the Nintendo 3DS: When playing a 3DS game, you're looking at only 3-5 hours of usage. Compared with the DS, which felt like it could go for ages without a charge, that's not much gaming time. Luckily, that's where Nyko comes in.

Coinciding with the release of the 3DS on March 27, Nyko will release the Power Pak+. It's a battery replacement that is said to double the battery life of the 3DS' standard battery. The price isn't terribly unreasonable, either; it'll cost only $19.99.

Following "shortly after" the 3DS will be the Nyko Charge Base, a charging platform designed for the Power Pak+ (one of which is included). It has an on/off switch and an LED light to indicate when the battery is done being charged. It will be only $10 more expensive than the Power Pak+ at $29.99.

Without being able to speak to the quality of either product, this could be incredibly handy for gamers who want to play 3DS games in 3D or watch Netflix, two things that are sure to wear down a battery very quickly.
