Come late January your wiimote battery life worries are a thing of the past, thanks to Joytech's forthcoming Wii PowerStation. The product features a base station for convenient wiimote charging and storage, as well as two rechargeable battery packs so you can swap them out on the fly, never having to worry about desperately scrabbling for double-As in mid-Zelda again. It even has little side nunchuck holders. Cute!

It wasn't until I saw this product that I realized what a lazy bastard I can be, just leaving the wiimote/nunchuck combo and spent batteries wherever I am when I stop playing. Retailing for around $30, it's a small price to pay to avoid having the controllers surgically removed from an uncomfortable place (the backseat of a Volkswagen?) once the girlfriend trips over them one too many times.
