I'm going to play skyrim on the Switch while waiting for the updated version of Skyrim loads on my PC.
There should be enough battery life on the Switch for that 40 seconds or so.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

If you are embarrassed to be seen playing a 3DS, the most popular handheld of all-time, in public in a world where everyone and their grandma plays games on their 3DS, iPhone, or iPad, then you have serious anxiety issues. It's you, not the video games that are embarrassing.

its impossible to play the 3DS in public long enough to be embarrassed due to its sub-par battery life. the 3DS battery life is bad folks

Nintendo Switch is literally a teething toy for infants and lol at any person over the age of 18 months who picks it up to do anything besides run it through the dishwasher.

The big reason being that modern android phones are far more powerful than the 3DS because Nintendo's approach to hardware was literally beat by cell phones. Meanwhile Sony went the other direction and put in superior hardware, but not enough to matter, and drove the cost to "haha loving no" levels.

Really ultimately it's not that handheld gaming is dead, it's that handheld systems are literally just like lovely android phones that aren't phones.

Nintendo would still be smart to stay out of handheld gaming forever and start dumping their entire Nintendo games library on Android. You let people play Super Mario Bros and Super Smash Bros and Super making GBS threads Cash Bros on their phones, and they'd see huuuuuge profits. Their IP is the only thing that they have of actual value.

Sorry that you live in the middle of nowhere where there's no people. I see like 3 or more people on my bus to work every morning with a 3DS and even the occasional Vita.

I agree that way more people play phone games now, but to say that the 3DS is completely dead is hilariously wrong. The handheld has sold the most units of anything ever and the world is still in love with Pokemon.

drat Sega's marketing was effective. That "nintendo is for kids" marketing is still going strong after 25 years. Some people really never got over mortal kombat 1 not having blood. Dunno why people gotta bring the age thing into question, just say the consoles are weak and the controllers are stupid. That's why I'm not buying one.

Most people don't give a poo poo about Nintendo's perception outside the internet. The Wii U didn't sell because it was poorly marketed and not designed well as a game console for the needs of the market. It also wasn't a console where the average dude in his 20s or 30s can come home and shoot guys with their friends in Battlefield or Call of Duty. That's basically it.

Q. My bus ride home takes 7 hours.
How many times do I have to recharge the Switch if I am playing Skyrim?

Extra Credit: Given the above, do I get to the beheading scene in the game before I get home?
