I was talking with Nintendo spokeswoman Beth Llewelyn last week about the Wii remotes. I was curious about how some of the remotes were wired and some wireless. She said that when they ship they will all be wireless, but that Nintendo hasn't quite figured out what to do about power for the remotes.

Currently they all run off of batteries, but it sounds like Nintendo is hoping to figure out a way to make them rechargable. You'd think it would be pretty simple to have some sort of docking system for such a tiny device. As important as Miyamoto made the Wii-mote sound to their plans, I'm sure they'll work something out. —Brian Crecente
