    On one hand I agree but on the other hand this EU version will probably have less battery capacity or even processing power as a trade-off. It has to fit in the same case and with the same components after all.

      All they have to do is not permanently glue the battery on. It otherwise would sit in a perfectly flush compartment that doesn’t even need to be changed or would require a different battery.

      The only difficult part of replacing the battery in the current model is the fucking adhesive which makes this whole thing that much worse. If anything, it would be slightly cheaper to produce since they wouldn’t need to buy glue.

        Unfortunately you are mistaken. They can‘t just place it in there loosely. It needs to be mounted in some way. Right now, repair guides glue the replacement battery back into place as well so it‘s actually not something you should skip. The new mounting system can very well result in a smaller battery size.

          It sits perfectly flush in its compartment and then has a plate pressing against the back when closed back up. It really doesn’t need the adhesive. If you ever had to send it to Nintendo, tho, it not having the glue would be a clear indicator you opened it up and voided the warranty.

      But you can always carry a second battery and be at 100 percent instantly like the old days (2012)

        Real gamers skip the batteries and have their GBA on AC… Hoping mom doesn’t step on the cord and yank it out again.

          When I was a kid I played Crisis Core on the psp but didn’t have a memory card so I just had to leave it plugged in and running for a week. I was terrified that it would be unplugfed to vacuum or something while I was at school.

        I‘m not sure if replaceable means that. In fact I am very doubtful replaceable means you can replace it like older laptop batteries or Gameboy batteries. It‘s more like replacing a 3DS battery I imagine. So no, very much not be at 100 percent just like in the old days unless you regularly replaces your 3DS batteries. Not sure why you would.

          Well if the backplate is screwed in like the 3ds I’m pretty sure someone would make a 3dprinted design that uses magnets and is easier to replace. If I ever get an European switch I’m going to model that if no one else does
