Bummed out about the Wii U GamePad's middling battery life? Nintendo finally has an answer: install a bigger battery. Taking to Twitter these evening, Nintendo revealed has that a new larger capacity GamePad battery will be available in Japan soon, promising between 5-8 hours of battery life. The 2550mAh battery will cost ¥3,000 yen (about $39) when it launches this July, and will need to be installed manually by the user. A fair solution for gamers looking for longer play sessions -- but doesn't this seem like something that should have part of the original package? Check out the (machine translated) source below to check out the listing for yourself.
