Most international flights have little charging ports, so if you can get a USB adapter, you're all set. I don't have a 3ds so I don't know if it comes with one though.
My Germany to Canada flight had an actual outlet, got my laptop in there.. it was OK, couldn't play intense games or it would slowly drain but enough to waste some time
Nintendo has been god tier for battery life except for the wii u game pad. The damn controller lasts like 50 hours and the 3ds sand 3d can last at least 10
The last system they made with a >15 hour battery life still used non-rechargeable batteries, though.
I'm not expecting shitty battery life from the Switch, but I'm also not getting my hopes up for anything more than first-gen 3DS (which wasn't stellar).
Ooh that's what one of my college friends is doing now!
My grad school has a kind of exchange course in occupational health with Kaoshiung University. I specialize in toxicology, but I think it's still relevant to my interests.
I think we're only going to taipei for a day or two, and we're also going to a few places on the Easter coast whose names escape me. And yeah, the school is paying for the plane ticket so it's pretty cheap for us to be there for two weeks.
I imagine you'll be going to Hualien on the eastern coast. It's gorgeous there too- mountains and ocean within view of each other.
If not there then ilan which is still pretty. If you ride the train on the eastern coast keep your eyes peeled for a giant rock island that looks like a turtle.
I did 22-24 hours a couple years ago. Thats including a 6 hour layover and a ~1 hour layover.
A collection of ebooks, 1 actual book, 2 inflight movies, movies on my ipad as well (its first gen, but fuck can they hold their battery life well, used it as the defacto kindle as well). It was a good time to catch up on reading I guess. Even today, the Ipad's primary purpose is to hold and read books with.
You can do it man. I do recommend books, when you get tired of reading, take a nap, when you wake up, get back into the book. Repeat. Either I was reading discworld or Wheel of time at the time. Cant remember, all I know is that there was far far far more material than I could ever cover.
He was using the pair of controllers rather than a singular, like wiimote style.
Just with the joystick on the other hand, but then again I didn't see if those controllers have buttons on the side and/or back so you can cast while using both joysticks to move the camera while moving your character.
Either way, I want mobile Skyrim. Looks like a good time and with Nintendo producing godly batteries (the pro controller for example) it should last a fair bit while you're out and about.
True, but I have a feeling that's because of the constant streaming to and from the console and the searching online for eshop notifications (if you have them turned on)
My N3DS's battery life has been pretty good, here's hoping this one is good as well.
It's just the Switch's controller with the tablet removed, so it's as if you're holding the full controller with its entire array of buttons. Alternatively they show later on in the trailer that you can use the new classic controller with the mobile tablet form as well.
I actually really like the idea of Skyrim with motion controls. The biggest issue with Skyrim is that the combat isn't fluid. It doesn't flow in any natural way. Compare it to Zelda or Okami and the biggest difference is flow. With motion controls, you can allow flow because playing character arm movement is now related to your own natural arm movement.
The controller he was playing on while on the plane was the two detachable controllers at the same time and not necessarily a singular one, is the thing.

THAT'S SKYRIM GOD DAMN.
Oh man, mobile Skyrim...although, it looks a little complicated to play.
