Between the Spaces

The Wii remotes have small groves along the sides of the controller length-wise, blatantly alluding to the future plans to provide some sort of a rechargeable functionality to the controller. What? Haven’t spent enough time with your Wii to notice this yet?

With a new feature like this on the way, we won’t have to deal with batteries anymore. This is of course the type of feature that the Xbox 360 uses with great success. So, in addition to your $60 controllers (three purchased by you), you now have to spend an undoubted $20+ for each bringing the cost of each controller up from $20 to $30 on past consoles to $80!! Come on, Nintendo. You’re right up there with the rest of them now!! Oh, and how much will a cradle for all four controllers cost? $40? Grrr…

Either way, it would be a great feature to have. I hate to admit it, but as much as it would pain me, I would most likely get it. Darn me!
