The 3DS has finally been thrust upon the masses, offering ocular entertainment in the third dimension. However, all that fancy 3D gaming at your fingertips won’t last forever, as Nintendo has warned gamers to expect shorter battery life for the 3DS.
So how can you keep the delicious visuals from dying prematurely? Playing the 3DS exclusively at home is one option, but that completely eliminates the benefit of having a portable gaming device. It turns out there is a relatively light portable charging device that you can wear right on your very own wrist.
Gadget Wrist Charger, available from Think Geek for about $35, allows you to plug in a 3DS (or any other DS iteration) and extend its battery life significantly. After all, sometimes you may need more than the three to five hour charge reported in the 3DS specs.
Short battery life may be expected from a device that does quite a number of things, but the downgrade in battery life from the DS — which offered hours upon hours of game play on a full charge — remains a real drawback of the new system.
