The Nintendo Wii is currently the most popular console with gamers in this generation of consoles, with nearly 20 million units sold in the United States alone. With fun, family friendly games for kids and parents to enjoy, it is little wonder why the Wii is making its way into households across the nation.
While the Wii is a great console to bring the family together, the Wii-motes which are used to control the action require 2 AA batteries which only last up to 36 hours of play time. While that may seem like a long time, when you have four Wii-motes, which need to be charged, you can quickly eat through a large pack of batteries in no time. This is where the Wii Official Power Surface charger comes in. This Wii accessory is a great way to charge your Wii-mote without wasting tons of money on batteries.
After I purchased this Wii accessory, my family and I could play the Wii whenever we wanted, instead of having to hunt around for batteries for all the remotes. The best thing about the charger is the fact that it can charge two remotes at once, so you don’t have to wait and charge all four if you do have four remotes. Other Wii accessories and chargers generally only charge one remote at a time, which can be a real pain when you are ready to play and you find that your remotes need to be charged.
If you do only have two Wii-motes for your Wii, this is the perfect addition to your growing collection of Wii accessories to keep them charged. Even getting two of these for four remotes in order to keep your remotes at a full charge would be recommended, as they’re relatively cheap and they fit in just about anywhere for ease of use and convenience.
