I've noticed that the Wii remotes used in the E3 demos have an extra cord coming in the side. Is that a power source? Will controllers have the option of having a power cord attached (whether it's into the wall or into the GameCube slots)? I think having a power cord would be awesome for single player purposes. I think having wireless controls is only crucial during a multiplayer setting where cords get in the way (or in the case where your batteries die).

Hmmm, you think so? Like, they didn't have the battery compartment figured out yet? That'd be weird.

I'm actually hoping a cord comes with it. I'd love to have a backup when batteries aren't available.

The E3 Wiis were gamecubes with the Wii Dev-kit on them. Perhaps that is something to do with it?

yeah they stole only tiliting(retarded) stuck with the same shape(retarded) and got rid of the rumble(retarded) stated rumble messed with tilting (retarded, nintendo has full motion w/tilt, rumble, and speaker) and now everyone who has actually played a PS3 game says the tilt w/o rumble is a major dissapointment. and have you seen the graphics for gameplay on PS3, I thought they were supposed to be photorealistic, not a whole lot better, maybe at 50 feet away, $600 for that crap, hahahahahahaha but what can you expect, they make batteries that light on fire - ahhh no. I guess that is what sony does nowadays, go down in flames.
