I was worried the new DS Lite battery wasn’t holding up, but apparently Animal Crossing just normally chews through battery super fast when it’s in standby mode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@dog I think that's one of the few games that doesn't go fully to sleep so it keeps all the activities going in real time. I have it in my memories that the light doesn't blink either indicating the DS is asleep.

@fillertrack Yeah, I looked it up and that seems to be the case. It's even called out by name on the Wikipedia article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo
