According to a report from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Nintendo Switch will not be coming with a removable battery. This means that unlike the Wii U, which could extend its battery life with the inclusion of a GamePad battery by up to eight hours, the Switch will only be able to last as long as the battery it ships with.
So far, we know that the Nintendo Switch is a console/portable system hybrid, which comes with two detachable joy-con controllers. A recent Reddit AMA with video game critic Laura Kate Dale suggests that the Nintendo Switch will likely be launching on March 17 in the UK, with a 32GB entry model. Dale also points out the Switch will be able to run more than 3 hours in portable mode if you turn down the settings.
A private, hands-on Nintendo Switch event will be held on January 13 in New York City, where we can expect Nintendo to reveal the official price point and release date of the console.
