We reported about the new Wiimote straps yesterday. But could it be possible that with these new straps a new Wiimote could also enter the scene? According to a rumor that first appeared in the Japanese magazine, Game Lab, Nintendo is allegedly already hard at work in making a new Wiimote.

This won't make your trusty controller obsolete, so don't go throwing it on a television or something. Apparently, the Game Lab rumor said that this new version will be sporting a better grip and will come with a rechargeable battery - two changes that are entirely possible to do.

Nintendo has apparently denied the said rumor, but that doesn't stop tongues from wagging like crazy. So with that, we leave the deciding up to you. Do you think this is nothing but a fake or do you think that it has a tinge of truth in it?

Rep for you
Wow, my first portal post! Thx for the rep too. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

On Topic: It would be so awesome and suck at the same time. Good news IF they make this new design, sucks for me cause I have 3 already. Still waiting for Wii Play to get 4th one.

Me too. And I haven't had time to pre-order one so I hope I can snag one on release day!

if this is true then thats awesome. There non rechargeble battery could be a nuissance. But we've got rechargeble ones now!

Rechargeble batteries FTW!
Interesting, I wonder if this is more than a rumour...

Luckily I haven't bought any spare Wiimotes yet.
Lemon, you still have only one Wiimote? I got 3 but waiting for Wii Play, which you've already got there. So jealous! Still, we can't forget the rumor that Wii Orchestra might come with a Wiimote as well. Maybe you're doing the right thing after all. Maybe you have some secret info you're not sharing!
Nintendo is known for redesigning.

They can never find soemthign stable.
I don't really mind though. I've got two remotes and waiting for wii play, so if they do redesign them i'll have one redesigned one. Yay. Big Grin
Bring on the new remotes. I only have two. I sure would like to get some with rechargable batteries. I don't know about "new enhanced grip." I guess it would be nice.
There's actually a product like this, it's by an independent retailer, it's a charger station (fit for two wii-motes) that comes with two recharcheble battery packs and a custom back with special grip.

Recharcheble wii-mote station!
Yay, new Wiimotes! Hopw they come in different colours!
It's not confirmed yet. Toungue
I've seen that charger stand. There is just something about first party hardware.
Oh noes! I got beat at my own game.
<_<
>_>
w/e, good on you mate. (always wanted to say that Big Grin)
I saw this but overlooked it thinking it was another one of those wrist strap things.
Nah, don't think of it that way. I was just trying to help you out. You do a great job and if I can help any little bit then good.
It's appreciated, thanks. Smile
