Considering that the battery for the 3DS is better then the one for the DSi and DS games on the 3DS will run from 5 to 8 hours It would be impossible for that to be the lowest brightness setting considering the lowest brightness setting on the DSi runs from 9 to 14 hours and I don’t see why DS games would use up more power on the 3DS then they did on the DS. You also have to consider that Nintendo said that the battery of the 3DS will be close to the DSi whose battery length on the max brightness is 3 to 4 hours which is close to the 3 to 5 hour stated for the 3DS. If 3 to 5 hours really was the lowest brightness setting considering that the DSi had 5 brightness levels the highest brightness setting would be close to zero and that would be ridiculous or the 3DS only has one brightness setting like the original DS.

I wouldn’t get all worked up about projected timings. If their projected timings are 3-5 hours, they are most likely 3-5 hours at all max settings, max brightness, all features on. I’d imagine 5 hours average.

Note: I meant to say, no movie in 3D has been watch for no more than two hours. My mistake.

Before people start ranting on how low the battery is, let me just say that this is just a estimate. Meaning it could be longer afterwards. And also people, you know you can turn down the brightness and also a few features as well to make the battery longer. Quit acting like Nintendo is trying to do this on purpose, because everybody knows that you can’t really watch something in 3D because no movie released today is longer than 2 hous. And other thing, you can also play and charge at the same time, duh.
