Nintendo has revealed a new model of its Switch console is heading to Japan.
Rather than the rumoured Switch Pro, this is merely a modified version of the standard device which offers longer battery life.
According to a Switch comparison chart on Nintendo's Japanese website, the new model will last between 4.5 and nine hours, depending on the game you're playing. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, often used as the benchmark for Switch battery life, will drain the new model in 5.5 hours.
Kotaku notes that the launch version of the Switch had a battery lasting between 2.5 and 6.5 hours, with Zelda players given three hours before it's depleted.
