![]() ![]() By relying on a separate battery, Nintendo is probably keeping things cheap and simple, but is also defeating the convenience of having a well-designed modern handheld. Instead you just whip out the adapter and charge it up. Nintendo’s sealed, rechargeable battery design has done away with having to root around for spare batteries, or carry a bunch of spares around. However, one of the most convenient things about modern Nintendo handhelds has been the ease of recharging them. With that in mind, the slidepad will probably get you through just fine. Speaking personally, I think the most time I ever put into a handheld game was Pokèmon Red - about 96 hours worth. But even if the device only gets 240 hours of battery life in the wild, that’s still 10 straight days of gaming. As is the case with other pieces of consumer electronics, it wouldn’t be too surprising if Nintendo had inflated those claims somewhat. However, Nintendo’s standard operating procedure dictates that when the company releases something in Japan, the states will see the same device several months later meaning the Slidepad will likely launch elsewhere in 2012.While that may seem like truly breathtaking battery life, it’s important to note that this figure is reported to come from Nintendo’s own documentation. Since its exsitance wasn’t announced through the usual PR channels, there’s no official word on when its hitting the states. Because, you know, it would be nice to get a little something extra out of the massive thing riding shotgun on the 3DS. The add-on runs on a single AAA rather than sporting a newfangled battery pack to extend the life of the 3DS. The Slidepad, if that it’s real name, will hit Japanese retailers December 10 for ¥1500 ($19.50). The high price, coupled with lackluster launch titles, caused the 3DS to stumble out of the gate and ultimately lead to a major price reduction. ![]() Then came the 3DS, built around a gimmick rather than a new paradigm. The Gameboy, the DS, the N64, and Wii were novel ideas and therefore prospered in the marketplace. ![]() Wtf 2-3 matches later entire pad falls off revealing cheap ass cracked broken plastic circle that gives the rubber piece its form. Playing Smash Bros, piece of plastic ends up falling out from under my circle pad. It was in the off position and I really dont use 3d that much but I would still like to repair it. They had a good run, right? Nearly every product from the last 10 years save the Gamecube has been built by beautiful geniuses set to change the gaming world. I've had a blue 3DS XL since a few days after the XL was released and my circle pad broke off the exact same way just recently. Hey guys, so the other day I fell on top of my 3ds xl and somehow the small grey 3d slider snapped off. Instead, the 3DS add-on just appeared on the gaming company’s website as if they were a tad embarrassed, or rather confused, about its existence. So I flipped that over and put it back in, and everything. This left the top screen with only a black screen. Afterwards, when I put everything back into the connectors, I flipped a ribbon cable upside down. As for the Broadband and 56K Modem themselves. When I was taking apart my n3DS XL to look at for preparation for a hardmod, I took the motherboard off.
