You read that right, folks. Someone in Japan already has Monster Hunter 3G and the Circle Pad add-on for 3DS. While flipping through the manual, it was noticed that the Circle Pad has a battery life of 480 hours on a single AAA battery.

Think about that for a second. That’s 20 days. Straight. On a single tiny little AAA battery. Those useless small batteries that are only good for powering your remote control and throwing at those annoying kids that show up at your door every Halloween. That’s more battery than a freakin’ Kindle!

Even better, Nintendo INCLUDES a AAA battery with the Circle Pad. You could go to your local Walgreens and pick up an 8-pack of replacements and be set for years!

Mind-boggling, folks. This is the future. Batteries that outlast goldfish.

What say you, gamers? Betcha didn’t even know the Circle Pad needed a battery before this!
