well it would be stupid if they didn't, you'd have to spend extra cash for all kinds of accessories on the spot. Maybe each contoller that you purchase separately will come with a single charger as well. And there could be a big pack with 3 controllers and the charger that holds four wii remotes, so you could put the one you already have on that.

Even though it would be nice to include everything u need w/ the wii, there is a possibility that it may come seperate since the console is so cheap. I'm not saying this for sure, but u never know. They have to make a decision between make themselves happy (they get more money for ppl buying accessories) or making the customers happy (by including everything in one package)

i swear to god last night i had a dream that i got a wii but everytime i picked up the remote it turned into a 360 controller..but i didnt seem to notice

but in the box there were these things that you plug into the outlet and you could stick the whole entire remote into it and it would charge it..

the problem with built in rechargable batteries are that if it dies you need to wait for the charge, with interchangable batteries you can just pop out the dead ones and put new ones in the remote, put dead ones in the charger. there will most likely be someone who releases an easy charge system like with the gameboy, I don't think nintendo made one but third party supplies did(before SP).

Well, it's looking like we'll be getting AA's, but rechargeable batteries aren't out the window. The remotes could use rechargeable batteries and charge with the port that's used for the attachments.

Anyone think were going to see a Play'n'Charge kit, like the one for the Xbox 360, that would allow you to plug it in to one of the two USB ports and it would recharge the batteries as you play?

At the same time, that would look pretty ugly, but since the nunchuk is being supplied power by the Wiimote, I guess there would only be one wire from the Wiimote to the back of the Wii.

It doesn't look real. Is it a test drawing to see if they will actually make it?
