Aqua Blue!
... Though it's charging right now due to a personal charge first, play later rule I follow...

I also grabbed Rayman 3D... Port of a 12 year old game, that has been ported... ten-ish times, but I've never played Rayman 2, and despite a few flaws thanks to Ubisoft, I won't mind...

That, and I couldn't bring myself to spend $40 on the two hour adventures of Steel Diver or Pilotwings... And I already have SSF4 on PS3 that I never play, so didn't want to play it on 3DS (I demoed it a couple of weeks back, and the 3D is great on it, it's a great game... but the frozen backgrounds are creepy).

Congrats on your 2-4 hour battery life.
>_>

I think the GameGear had a longer battery life then the 3DS does >_>

Pfft, that's why you just drop and go in the cradle!

Hell, most of my game playing is done at home anyway near an outlet =P

That battery life is actually why I chose to forgo the 3DS and just get a DSi XL. >_>

I play at home too, but usually where I sit and play there's no convienent access to an outlet.

Ah, well I'm doing the method: Never shut it off, and just drop it on the cradle to charge when not in use.


Now... To wait for June for OoT >.<

Speaking as somebody whose first system was a GameGear, it really didn't.

And it used six batteries for each charge.

I loved my GameGear.
If you didn't use crap batteries you'd get at least 5-6 hours out of those 6 batteries. >_> (Vs the gameboy that had like... What? 15 hours on 4 AA? Vs the GBC that had a whopping 18+ hour battery life on TWO AA)

Man, I'll have to take your word for it. I just remember the battery life on that thing being absolute trash, especially given the number of batteries it used.

There's a reason I owned the outlet adapter and the car adapter for that thing!

If you're using high end batteries (Energizer) you would get about 5 hours out of it. >_>

Trash batteries would be lucky to last 2.

Game Gear was my first handheld too... Eventually I gave up using batteries, because you know, you had to buy them.


On the 3DS front -- I had a hell of a time getting WPA working with Pokemon Black, but... That's resolved now <.<

Dear gosh, the battery life is that bad? Maybe I'll wait for the next 3DS version. Not like I can't get the games I want without the system.

See that's the issue, the battery life is kind of weak, which is exactly why Nintendo includes the cradle. The idea is to drop the 3DS on it whenever you aren't using it, so it is always charging.
