Larger Capacity Wii U GamePad Battery Coming from Nintendo

With now 5-8 hours of battery life.

Perhaps it was planned all along, but Nintendo have announced a larger capacity Wii U GamePad battery.

The new battery has a higher 2550mAh capacity (the normal one is 1500mAh) and is said to last around 5-8 hours. This is a welcome improvement over the 3-5 hours you get currently out of a Wii U GamePad.

The Battery is due to be released in Japan on the 25th of July for 3,150 Yen or around $35. We will let you know if Nintendo plan to release it here.
