Nintendo Details Switch Battery Life
During tonight's Nintendo Switch Presentation, Nintendo answered one of the most pressing questions for its upcoming home console/handheld gaming device hybrid, Nintendo Switch: How long does the battery last when the Switch is not docked and connected to the television?
While the battery life varies depending on game, Nintendo claims that while in portable mode, the Switch's battery will last anywhere between two-and-a-half and six-and-a-half hours.
Nintendo Switch launches on March 3 and retails for $299.99.
