It would be SO much better if they were rechargable instead of having to buy new batteries every couple weeks.

yeah, i think that is the best thing they can do… a rechargable battery is the best option (of course at the begining this make it a little bit more expensive) for the wiimote, because in a long way it makes you save a lot of money!

I’m wondering what are their ideas for a charger… I would really like some kind of stand with 4 holes where we can put all our wiimotes to charge at the same time!

agreed but dont underestamate wiimote as wavebird batterys last for ages i mite get a pack of qoulity rechargables in and a charger

Great! Counting on how good the Wii looks, I would have to make serious investments in AA Batteries. I already have to for my wavebird and Game Boy Advance. A break would be nice.

I just hope you can charge it while you play. And that theres a way to tell when the batteries are dead.

Why not just include stands for each Wiimote to sit and plug into the peripheral slot and power up Lithium Ion batteries?
