Official Wii Remote Battery Charger Set Coming to Japan in July
Along with a new battery for the Wii U GamePad, new Nintendo Land Bundles and a Premium White Wii U, Nintendo has also announced a Quick Charge Set for Wii Remotes.
The Wii Remote Charging set will contain a new battery pack for your Wii Remote which features new dock to sit and charge a Wii Remote on it. The pack also comes with a Wii Remote condom, strap and another charger. It’s the same charger as the Nintendo 3DS, which seems like a totally stupid idea, but its 2013 and Nintendo are just now releasing a battery pack for the Wii? More power to them. The whole set costs 4200 Yen or about $44AUD.
You can also buy additional charge packs without the dock and charger by itself for 2,625 Yen or about $26AUD.
The Wii Remote Charger Set will be released in Japan on July 13th. We’ll let you know if it’s ever heading out to Australia.
Please come to Australia! I have yet to buy any of these dodgy third party ones >_>
I had a third party once, but I cash-converted it because I got like a half-hour use out of a charge. About bloody time Nintendo! Please release it here!!
If it obviates the need for removing the condom to charge/replace batteries I am definitely in. Multiple colours would be a bonus as well.
Maybe this is Nintendo’s plan to generate a bit of revenue. Accessorise!
