I would be surprised at the battery life being that short, but I guess the 3D aspect drains the juice really fast

That would probably have to be my one problem with the Wii is I wish they would have made that cable at least a little longer.

That was to slimebeasts' reply, not to your comment.

I was just joking in that post *awkward*

I meant that early pictures are just there for show, not to demonstrate actual scale - - - - just look at the length of the cord there, it's actually much longer in reality

But now that I think about it, it would have been nice to be able to extend my arms all the way >_<

I would think someone would be selling extension cords for the Wii Remote plugs. Going to see if there are any.

EDIT: Here's one. Not the best solution, but at least it's there.

There are extensions available if you really wanted one, but it'd feel weird with a little plug in the middle of the cord

EDIT: lawl, nevermind

Also, I don't think I really need one, personally - - - - - I never feel restricted when I play

That sucks; when you're playing multiplayer and lose, it's too short to strangle the other guy.  ;)

So is this something they can improve upon with future models? Looking at the $250-$300 price tag and low battery life just made the choice much easier for me.

Sorry guys, I don't know if this has already been posted:

It sees that it will last less than the dsi, but I think it's to be expected considering all its features.

seems the more advance handheld consoles become, the more they look like actual home console.
