Playing Skyward Sword for hours on end, I would have to constantly buy and swap in new batteries. Soon becoming too much of a hassle, I picked up a pair of rechargeable batteries and began using those. Recently, a mysterious patent showing a type of stand or charger for the Wii U controller was discovered, which will perhaps eliminate the nagging hobby of constantly replacing batteries. Furthermore, this mysterious peripheral may double as a convenient stand while the controller is not in use.

So many rumors, so little time until E3.

    This is good. Now maybe its held like that on the floor, or it can extend to higher height…

    This would save pollution if all electronics had a rechargeable stand.
