Nintendo's latest filing with the FCC shows that the Nintendo Switch console won't be having a removable battery and the products design won't allow Nintendo to change this. This could be a big problem for the console, especially when it comes to its battery life.
According to Engadget, the product that the FCC reviewed is a production prototype, but it was designed to be the equivalent of a model ready for mass production. And looking at the Switch's tablet design, it's likely that the product the FCC reviewed is the console that everybody will see when it launches.
The tablet design of the Nintendo Switch doesn't offer a lot of room for user serviceability, which likely means a room for an extra battery, is not possible. If this is the final product that Nintendo will be launching, then it might pose a problem for them.
Attack of the Fanboy said that with the Switch giving the fans the option of a portable device, a non-removable battery could be a problem for players who would like to use the device for extended periods of time. Nintendo already experienced a similar issue with the Wii U and its gamepad device.
Users of the Wii U, though, had the option to purchase higher capacity batteries and replace the ones in the gamepad for a longer use. But that won't be the case with the Nintendo Switch.
There are several reports, however, that Nintendo is providing charging and storage options to make the battery life of the Switch last for as long as possible. This latest information doesn't really bode well for the console, which Nintendo will be providing more details about come January 2017.
The Nintendo Switch could fail just like the Wii U once the hype of the new console dies down and fans are now just left with its technical aspect. The Switch, actually, doesn't really affect the gaming experience in any way. Check out the trailer of the Nintendo Switch below.
