Rumor: Rechargable Wii Remote?

Quote:
Nintendo at work on new Wiimote: Rumor

Video Games – "Japanese publication Game Lab is running an interesting rumor. According to them, Nintendo is already working on a new version of the Wiimote. Don't worry, it isn't anything that will render your current Wiimote obsolete. This version will have a better grip, and will come with a rechargeable battery."

From Netscape News


This sounds like a really good idea to me. We'll see where this goes.

Reading this, I also thought of when there are going to be releases of third party periphials. What do you guys think?

Does this import work for US remotes? I already dropped a lot of dough on rechargeable batteries, but they will die eventually.

That first mock up looks good, but it should plug into the Wii via USB. Souldn't need another AC/DC adapter.
