charging through or processing power through a usb port does in fact slow down things. namely the 360. pelican made a usb fan stand for it and once used it utterly destroys whatever good framerate you have going on. then nyko had the intercooler (which i HIGHLY recommend) that latches onto the back of the power supply and blows air and doesnt slow the 360 down one bit. ive done a similar test using a loop back plug on the wii and it MAY have caused a miniscule amount of slowdown on the wii. truth is im not 100% sure it did but i am highly positive it did as it seemingly took it a longer time to load the splash screens. not by much but it did thing is a loop back plug only takes the signal its given and throws it back into the port to test your ports for proper connectivity. since it isnt actually asking for its own signal or asking a complex one its not a true test but im not clear on what the wii would support so eh. as for the data processing and power, weather your charging a battery or processing data, its all frequencies. its the same reason the gba sp's charging port can be used for headphone usage. its all frequencies.
Well like I said before you wouldn't be able to play the Wii while it was charging anyway so it still does not matter.
I would still rather have the battery pack. As for useing it in other devices I dont care, I already have AA rechargeable for those devices. And plugging it into the USB on the Wii when Im not using it would be a hell of a lot less trouble for me then Having to stop in the middle of a game all the time, remove my contoller glove, and swap the batteries out. And as for slowing the wii down, Its not processing any info from a charge cable simply drawing a miniscule amount of power to the battery so there is no chance of it slowing the Wii down. Besides I wouldnt be charging it while I was playing regardless so it wouldnt matter.
Well I have rechargeable AA's in my remotes now. But they are quite a pain in the ass to have to change all the time with the controller glove having to be rolled up each time to get the battery door off. With one of these rechargeable packs I could just have them plugged in when Im not playing and they would always be charged. Plus then I could put the bulky battery charger away and have one less thing plugged into my power strip taking up space.
these are available on Ebay right now for about $15.00 shipped. Only problem is they are all shipping from hong kong so you have to deal with international shipments getting lost, translation and commmunication problems, etc...............
why wouldnt you want a 3rd wiimote. but no i havent heard of it without a wiimote that is just me though. and if it does it probably wouldnt be much cheaper.
I have no use for a third remote. As I'm 30 I dont have a bunch of friends over alot and mainly play single player games and occasionally wth my wife so 2 remotes is plenty for me.
well since they took their sweet ass time bringing this to the states, I already have 2 remotes. Thats enough for me I don't need a third. Anyone hear anything about this being available without the remote, just the game disc?
