It's about frackin' time

Enelope Wii From Sanyo 1

The Wii is finally getting a really good charger. Sure there are options from Nyko but it takes forever, the technology isn't very smart, and you have to remove the controller from its protective silicon jacket which is a chore - trust me.

Nintendo teamed up with Sanyo to use their eneloop battery technology (best batteries IMHO) to create a solution that not only allows charging with silicon on, but smart enough to be daisy chained for sequential charging. Eneloop batteries are also far more environmentally safe than other lithium ions. Unfortunately you won't find it outside Japan for awhile.

Any readers in Japan willing to ship me the unit if I pay for everything?
