What? Worse battery? You do know the 3DS' battery is 1300 mAh, 55% larger than DSi's battery, right? The 3DS doesn't look like it's powerful enough to emulate DS and DSi games by software, so battery life for DS/DSi games should be higher than what was given. I suspect either:

1. the numbers are estimates for when using the highest brightness settings,

2. the numbers are if the internet settings are enabled, or

3. the 3DS has an actual OS that's still in use even when playing DS/DSi games (though this one would be weird, since I'd imagine they'd have made the OS not take up so much power).

Having a battery that's larger than the DSi's but has less time when playing the same games? That just doesn't make sense.
