Charging stand for Wii remote control appears

As I mentioned earlierIt is Nintendo's next-generation game machine "Wii" which is exhibiting very good sales not only in Japan but also overseas, but since the exclusive controller called Wii remote control moves with AA batteries, if you lose the battery There was a disadvantage that there was nothing.

And it seems that at the CES held at this time (exhibition of home appliances to be held in the USA), a charging stand to solve such a disadvantage was announced. It may be good news for heavy Wii users.

Details are as follows.

According to this article, by replacing the back of the Wii remote with the one with the rechargeable battery, it made it possible to charge the stand on the stand like a handset of a home cordless phone. Two units can be charged at the same time. In addition, the release is scheduled for January 26, and the price seems to be 39 dollars (about 4,600 yen).
