Six years after the console's launch, Nintendo sees fit to introduce this much requested functionality.
A first-party Nintendo Wii Remote rechargeable battery pack and charger will be released in Japan July 13.
Nintendo promises that using this set, a Wii Remote will regain one hour of play time after nine minutes of charge time, while a full 90 minute charge will allow for 13 hours of gaming.
The bundle of the charge stand and one battery pack will retail for 4200 yen, while additional battery packs will be 2625 yen.
