Preemptively disappointed with the relatively short 3D play sessions you'll get out of the Nintendo 3DS? Then Nyko has just what you're looking for, if you don't mind making your portable device a little bit bulkier.
The 3DS is a fairly svelt gadget, so this isn't the most elegant solution. But hey, it's a giant battery pack, so you shouldn't expect it to be. Nyko would probably contend the ergonomics are just fine, though, noting it has "debossed finger resets" for improved comfort. The unit has its own 3DS charger slot so it's easy to recharge the system without removing it from the Power Pak.
Thehefty battery peripheral will be available alongside the 3DS on launch day, March 27, for $19.99. Following that, Nyko will release a separate charging dock for the Power Pak+, which will carry a $29.99 price tag. Anyone biting, or is the 3-5 hours of standard battery life enough for your needs?
Other accessories you can expect to see when you pick up your launch 3DS will likely consist of the same drab carrying cases and "Starter Kits" that seemingly no one wants.
