Qays on 23 April 2010
Well yes, I'm not claiming that the classic controller violates conservation of energy - it's just easier (and cheaper) to have the batteries only in the Wiimote. Also you're reading comprehension isn't great, you missed something I said, ie it doesn't need bluetooth and is thus a lot cheaper :P
If I buy a Wii it'll be for games like Last Story, DQX, and MH3, with some Super Smash on the side. I probably will not play a single Wiimote game. For me, then, the Classic Pro isn't easier or cheaper at all - if I wanted to buy four CCPs so that my friends and I could play Super Smash, for example, I would need to buy four CCPs, three Wiimotes, and four sets of rechargeable batteries. That's a lot of money, especially since a fair slice of it is going to waste buying wagglegadgets that I will never use for any productive purpose.
I'd really much rather have the option of buying a legitimate wireless controller with a rechargeable battery and rumble. Maybe in a year's time Nintendo will release the Classic Controller Pro Elite or something.
Also, why would i want Nintendo to start making rechargeable AA batteries? Silly Quays, these things already exist, and I already have dozens of them.
In all fairness, this is an issue I have with the 360 as well: not having an internal battery in a controller just doesn't make any sense. They last longer and they're less of a hassle.
