Batteries are the weak point of the Wii package. However after playing awhile you will realize some games are more battery intensive then others. Which is probably not what Nintendo expected to be the case. I got through Zelda only having to change out the batteries once. That balanced out to the batteries lasting for twenty hours. They probably could have lasted longer. However I played Wii Sports quite a bit, and I was still learning the controls.
On the other hand I have gone through three sets of batteries playing Scarface, and I have yet to finish the game. I also went through a similar amount on Godfather. The difference as I see it is a overuse of the sensor bar in these games. The pointer is getting far too much use for just about everything.
When you play with games that use more of the motion sensors the batteries seem to go a lot farther. Hopefully in the future more developers will make better use of the controls. They are using the sensor almost as a second analog stick when simple tilts could just as easily help the character move.
I would advise buying low quality batteries until you get a charger. Since there seems to be no real difference in lifespan. Definitely not enough to justify paying a premium price. Why buy ten batteries when you can buy twenty for the same price.
