That's what I'm bothered about. I walk bugger loads (at least 6 miles a day) so it's not about laziness.
Orange_Bird said:That's great thinking on Nintendo's part. You have more reason to take your 3DS with you and go outside, whether you're trying to collect game coins or wanting to pass by other 3DS owners. It's so simple but clicks so well. Gamers might get more exercise too.
In sleep mode, which is what it'll be in when you're walking around, it'll last longer than that. The DS Lite lasts about a week in sleep mode with a fully charged battery.Ravte said:Orange_Bird said:That's great thinking on Nintendo's part.

Yeah and knowing that the 3DS battery lasts presumably 3-5 hours (max settings?), it's rather contradictionary imo.

I agree with KidVamp..
Nintendo is encouraging to bring your 3DS with you so they know where you are and where you go
location services my friend...without the ability to turn it off
i'm sure that little bugger has a location chip or a RFID in it somewhere
human data mining and information is gold in this day in age...almost every company is succumbing to it...so many people use DS's and bring them along with them where ever they go. If everyone else can sell out, why not Nintendo?
Sure about that?Fel said:Hey, but don't forget the the 3DS has a wifi on/off switch, so if you switch it off it shouldn't connect to wifi when you walk around. Unless it downloads the update from other updated 3DSes you meet.

Sounds to me he talking about the Flash cart ds2...Isaac_GS said:This is the DS2. I'm surprised there are people who haven't figured it out yet.

With only 3 hours of battery life, it's not THAT portable...
As for this pedometer stuff, I'd only take real advantage of it if having the 3DS in my pocket doesn't eventually destroy the shoulder buttons like the DS lite. But if the unit is durable enough, I might lose some weight this year.
