Nintendo 3DS charge lasts but 3 to 8 hours, according to Nintendo
When using a Nintendo 3DS, battery life was always a guess everyone takes. For one thing, there will be no never-ending marathons of Super Mario 64 DS, and that’ll be in a range of 3 to 8 hours. Why so broad, you ask? Well, while playing a normal 3DS games, expect 3 to 5 hours on a full charge, 5 to 8 if playing an older DS title, and 3.5 hours to fully recharge the battery from a dead state.
Now before you try flaming about how those are very decent battery figures, let’s take a short history lesson: the original DS was 10 to 14 hours, the DS Lite was 15 to 19 hours, Nintendo DSi was 9 to 14 hours, and finally DSi XL was 13 to 17 hours on a single charge, as according to Nintendo themselves. So, keep the charger handy. Via: Nintendo JP, Kotaku









Long, long ago there was an amazing Xbox 360/PC controller being talked about by Razer, and it was called the Onza. Fast forward to more than a year (or just about) and the pre-order date is on the 17th of the month, and will be priced at $50 USD (or 50 British Pounds) for the fully-loaded Tournament edition, which allows you to adjust the analog sticks’ sensitivity, backlit action buttons, 2 programmable keys, a 15 foot braided wired cable (because it’s wired-only), and the improved D-pad with lights. For $40 (or 40 British Pounds) you can get the controller sans the adjustable sticks and lights. It’s your call, but personally, I’d always take the Tournament edition. PR is in the usual place, store page at the source. Via:
