If Nintendo was really smart and really nice... It would bundle these batteries in with every Wii:

Why the hell do people care so much about battery life? I bought a pack of 4 batteries and a charger from wal-mart for a little over ten bucks a year and a half ago and they still work fine. keep 2 in the controller and 2 in the charger. problem solved. |

So...if one of the controllers ran out of power you can just pop them out and stick them into one of the USB ports in the back of the Wii to charge? ___________________

Basically what you do is, buy 2 of these. One (after fully charged) goes in your Wii-Mote's battery slot. While the other pair of batteries are charging in your Wii's USB slot. Whenever one runs out, you just switch with the other pair. I might buy this now to use with my Xbox 360. ___________________  Quote: "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Considering the Wii's USB ports are on top of each other, you probably could only have one battery in at a time. Still, these batteries are really cool. But it's so frustrating sometimes how something as obvious as this innovation takes so long to come around. ___________________  MGM Bill and End RIC

^Since the diameter of an AA battery isn't that much wider vertically than a USB port, I don't think that will pose much of a problem, and even if it does I still have a couple of USB link cables, for when the only USB ports I had where in the back of my pc, so I put the USB key in the cable, and the cable in the port, bingo: connection (and thus power supply)... ___________________

Of course, he'll complain that it's too expensive and that Europe is getting ****ed over yet again while looking these things up on Wikipedia to make sure they're worth getting. Because like a good girlfriend is to her abusive boyfriend, we all know Bleeper loves European pricing.  ___________________
