Nintendo UK site says Poke Ball Plus charging time is three hours
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Update: The North American site has been updated to now state it has a charging time of three hours instead of before when it said it has a three hour battery life (thanks Ben C). Therefore we can assume that the North American site had an initial error.
Original: A number of Pokemon announcements were made this week, including the Poke Ball Plus. Rather than a Joy-Con, you can use the accessory to navigate in-game menus, explore the world and battle with Pokemon in the new Let’s Go titles. It’ll be compatible with Pokemon GO as well.
On the North American website for Poke Ball Plus, Nintendo states that the battery life is three hours. Yet Nintendo UK’s site does not mention that, and says the charging time is three hours instead.
We’re almost inclined to believe Nintendo UK here since we can’t imagine Poke Ball Plus using a whole lot of battery. Anything is possible though, and we’re hoping that we’ll receive final clarification soon.
