As much as it pains me to say it, the Switch 2's short battery life is a real bummer


I know you can plug it in, but the rapidly depleting battery still really bothers me.

Aside from the fact that I've had a lot of fun with Mario Kart World and Fast Fusion, my main take away from that time is that I wish the battery lasted longer. I'm not sitting at home, pen and paper in hand, stopwatch primed, tracking usage times and building a spreadsheet (although maybe that would be fun). In the here and now, amongst mostly positive thoughts on the console, I hope you can understand why I am being overly dramatic about what you might think of as a trivial issue.
