Switch battery life ranked by tons of games, based on brightness and Wi-Fi usage
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 161 Comments
Reddit user Tyfui has put together a handy chart ranking a ton of different games for Switch based on how long the battery lasts. Over 50 titles were put to the test, and each one includes data for low brightness / airplane mode (Wi-Fi off), low brightness / Wi-Fi, max brightness / airplane mode (Wi-Fi off), and max brightness / Wi-Fi.
Some of the results are rather surprising. Did you know that Monopoly can end up using more battery than Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for instance? FAST RMX also seems to take up quite a bit of juice.

In the piece, screenwriter Yuichiro Takeda talks about how the story’s creation was a joint effort from himself, Kazuho Hyodo, and director Tetsuya Takahashi. Takeda was in charge of even chapters whereas Takeda worked on the odd ones. Takahashi handled the story itself. Takeda also says that Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s story has Takahashi’s most flair to date.
