Wii-mote Charger coming (in Japan) February 6, 2007

The cradles draw power via the Wiis USB ports and charge a set of lithium-ion batteries in three-and-a-half hours resulting in an estimated 25 hours of Wiimote power.

A single cradle is priced at $29 and a set of two at $54. Like all the other Wii accessories, these are a bit pricey but hopefully well worth it. This puts the price of a Wiimote, nunchuck and a charger at around $80 per set.

I didn’t see any word on when these will be on sale in American or European retail locations but hopefully it won’t be long!

    the one available at gamestop is the nyko brand charger and will sell for, i believe $30, it will charge 2 remotes and comes with the batteries, but plugs into the wall, no word on any other brand of charger coming soon

    My Gamestop email said March 15th. For what kind of brand name, I don't know.
  • I keep both my wiimotes horizontal with the nunchuks attached and with the gloves on. I'm not sure if this'll be of any help. Though it's tempting me a bit. Still skeptic whether a fully gloved wiimote would fit in the charger cradle. I always have to remove the glove and the battery cover to recharge the batteries.

    I went to ebgames.com and could only find the Nyko controller chager, not the one in the post above. Am I missing it. If anyone finds it post the link. Thanks
