Hardware Nyko Power Pak +

[bigpaws]

Nyko will be releasing an accessory to replace the batter and cover with this extended pack.
It shall last twice as long and uses the plug in charger but not the dock. The dock does not
work due to added bulk so they offer the option to buy a dock charger for it. It will be released
launch day without the dock in the picture for $19 and a week later with that dock for $29. Who will buy this?

I will. Maybe.

I don't care if that made the battery last forever. I would never use that thing.

I'd like to see how this thing looks in a 3ds, is the thing on the bottom a dock, cause if your supposed to put a 3ds in that, it looks like it would be pretty uncomfortable to play with

I think I'll wait and see how it works out. I had a Datel battery for my DS phat that was similar

.

 

[bigpaws]

it works like the wii remote batteries
the thing on the bottom is the dock
the other thing is the pack which replaces the cover on the back on the unit
it just adds bulk
the pack makes the 3ds too big for the dock so that dock allows to charge with the battery in the 3ds

Madness! I would love a forever lasting battery!

Isn't the point of a portable to be... you know... portable?

If it doesn't fit in my pocket, I'm not getting it (and by the looks of it, it would make the thing far too bulky).

I'd rather bring a screwdriver and replacement battery. Or the charging cord (assuming I go somewhere with an outlet)

 

[bigpaws]

it only makes the device 2 cm thicker

that'll still fit

only the thing on the top part goes on the 3ds
the other thing is the dock

That's a lot when the original size is only about an inch thick.

 

[bigpaws]

no not even one inch
more like .8 inch
and its not even 2 cm more
i just guessed
but it must be more like 1.5 cm

if you look, it is not thick at all

 

[OmerMe]

Doesn't look that bad actually.

I'm buying!!!

Now it is approve by Nintendo right?

edit: Kinda mess up the blue users tho...

You do not think this will cause any problems in the long run do yea?

 

[spiritofcat]

Thanks for the pic, OmerMe.
That looks quite stylish and streamlined.
I'll certainly consider buying one if the standard battery life doesn't meet my needs.

 

[Snailface]

Hmm. . .color me interested. Speaking of color, I wonder how it looks with the blue system.

 

[Deleted-273695]

I thought it was bulky... I as wrong..

 

[Vigilante]

It will make my 3DS look like a DS phat so I don't like it.

Hmm... I dont know, certainly doesnt look so good on the blue ds, since the bottom is black... Im gonna have to pass on this 1

 

[ferret7463]

Ok, it does not look too bad. Now my next question would be , Are they telling the truth about the Mah? I am a little cautious about such upgrades. I have had quite a few duds with PSP 3RD party batteries.

It sounds great, but I'll wait for reviews before I buy it.
