This will vary depending on the particular game and how well it is optimised for 3D.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo is also supposedly claiming that the device will last upwards of 8 hours with power saving mode enabled. Power saving mode is thought to turn off 3D and WiFi, and dim the screen.<\/p>\n<p>So, that&rsquo;s about long enough to get you through pretty much any domestic flight, but if you were planning on gaming away long road-trips with the 3DS, then you will be sorely disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Discuss the <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/10577-3DS-priced-and-dated-yikes\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Nintendo 3DS\">Nintendo 3DS<\/a> on the MyGaming forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 8 hours with 3D mode switched off<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9555\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
