Nitendnut	1. Posted: Tue 31st Jul 2012 19:11 BST Has anyone noticed or read if the primary Wii U controller is rechargeable. We go through a fair amount of batteries on our wiimotes. I am hoping the main Wii U controller will be able to be plugged to the console and charged like my PS3 controllers.

DudeSean	8. Posted: Wed 1st Aug 2012 05:36 BST Anyone who plays their wii more than a few times a month needs to have a wii remote charger. I can't imagine how quickly the gamepad would've ate through batteries.

pixelman	11. Posted: Sun 5th Aug 2012 23:36 BST No, it'll use 6 AA batteries and the charge'll last almost as long as the Game Gear. It's going to be great!

WiiUOnly	12. Posted: Mon 6th Aug 2012 00:50 BST It's rechargeable alright, but some people feel the battery life is too short. I'm sure some third-party battery will come along with an extended life.
