       @ChristiJunior @SavageGerbil @why up to 30 according to google. Pocket 10 same for gbcCan't find GBA data. 10 Sounds about right for DS/3DS

       @coolboymew @SavageGerbil @why Nah, the 3DS had similar battery life to the original Switch (apparently the updated Switch model is a significant improvement, lasting like 5-7 hours), unless BOTH my regular 3DS and my 3DS XL were broken. And the DS wasn't that much better. The GBA was apparently around 15 hours tho.

       @ChristiJunior @SavageGerbil @coolboymew @why The one huge advantage that the 3DS has but not the Switch is an easily replaceable battery (with a few screws). The Switch's battery requires more screws, some adhesive remover, and gentle prying.98399a5f-0490-44ff-a978-e6d8b669f995_1.d043cdaa5e816cecf965e36a9dd8cf00.jpeg4FROTCCPM2kAyL41.jpeg

       Also back in the 90s battery technology was shittier. I saw some small YT channel did an experiment and found out with modern batteries a GG lasts longer than the original 3ds did (and the original 3ds was panned hard for the battery life).

       When the 3ds came out everyone was shitting on the PSP/Vita level battery life. Nintendo handhelds were known for lasting long ass times (thanks to the dude who designed the GB focusing on that, see the Wonderswan and all). There was that and the fact the 3ds launched with literally No Games (tm). It took a while for the big name games to drop.

       @PhenomX6 @ChristiJunior @coolboymew @why I loved Sony's portables, but Nintendo's are so much more comfortable to play. Vita was a lot better than the PSP, PSP left you feeling like you had gnarled claws for hands after a half decent session

       @why @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @coolboymew On the plus side, the Ambassador Rewards were ridiculously generous by Nintendo standards, 10 GBA games and they're pretty much all absolute gems? I'm glad I got in on that thanks to buying the 3DS for OoT 3D.

       @why @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @coolboymew A more cynical person could think Nintendo fucks up the first generation of a handheld on purpose so that their fans buy it a second time once they release the good version (see: GBA -> GBA SP, DS -> DS Lite, 3DS -> 3DS XL/N3DS/N3DSXL)

       @why @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @coolboymew Like it's hard to believe the same company that released something as perfect as the DS Lite could think the 3DS's design was fine.

       @coolboymew @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @why I absolutely loved how the Aqua Blue 3DS looked. It was super disappointing how the Majora's Mask 3DS XL revealed a basic black and boring interior when you opened it up.

       @guizzy @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @coolboymew @why >DS Lite>PerfectAesthetically it was a elegant looking console unless you actually used it because the glossy plastic they used just smudged everywhere.. The d-pad on that thing was a huge downgrade from the phat model DS. Also the DSLite is the only Nintendo system I ever owned that just randomly stopped working on me. As a shelf piece the lite was pretty but as an actual gaming system I prefer the phat i just wish it had a brighter screen like the lite had.

       @ooignignoktoo @guizzy @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @coolboymew yeah i love the original DS too, its a nice big space age thing with bold lines and a thicc body. both are products of their time, just goes to show how fast styles were changing in the 00s

       @why @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @SavageGerbil @coolboymew @guizzy Sadly I don't have my chonk DS or the lite anymore I got an O3DS and everytime I play the thing which is rare nowadays it reminds me of how I wish I had a new 3DS but I refuse to pay the retarded inflated prices due to Covid for a console that's not even that old. Yeah the 3DS line is a decade old but it's sold millions of units and they only recently stopped producing them (2019).

       @ooignignoktoo @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @guizzy @coolboymew @why Older, sure, but with one hell of a great library. I kept my DS lite so I could still play GBA games and R4. Haven't gotten around to finding a flash cart that'll work in the new 3ds

       @SavageGerbil @ChristiJunior @PhenomX6 @guizzy @coolboymew @why I got 3 AGB-001 consoles and two of them are AGS-101 backlit screen. I wanted to get a funny playing IPS to mod the 3rd one and i was tempted to sell one of the GBA's since I never really pay it and could use the cash to get a flash card
