I'd assumed they'd ship it with a charging cradle, like 3DS, though I suppose that would be one more item to jack up costs. It'd be handy for me though. I rarely game over 3 hours at a time any more, and spend less time playing games in general, but the great thing about my 3DS cradle is that it encourages me to keep the 3DS in one place and it keeps the device charged. I'd imagine that if Nintendo want Wii U to be center of the living room, and want multiple users per console, they'll include a cradle in the box, to encourage a similar mentality of keeping the pad in sight and in one place, and of keeping the device charged.
