Don't know why companies skimp on batteries (or overcharge)? It's not like they're ridiculously expensive (exception above) or anything. My phone has a 3100mAh battery, you could find one of those for about 10$ on amazon (another 10$ and you could double that).

Seriously, do I have some kind of super gamepad battery or something? I hear so many people talk about how little battery life it has, yet it takes a solid hour and a half unplugged to get one of the four energy bars to disappear for me.

Now the original 3DS on the other hand, that battery has serious problems.

You might have your Gamepad overcharged a bit in that case because that's what can happen from time to time. At least that's what happens to me.

OT: Release it over here Nintendo and I'll start using the Gamepad more than my Pro Controller. >.>

That would be awesome, it really keeps its charge better than my 3DS which is kinda sad. I always plug it back into the charger after I'm done playing, so I don't know if that helps or not.
