New, enhanced Wiimote coming this summer?

[Ashy]

According to some obscure rumor column from Japan-based Game Lab, a newly enhanced Wiimote is in the works. The rumor, via Game Front, suggest Wiimote 2.0 will included "better grip" and rechargeable batteries out of the box, and that the revised controller will hit Japan sometime this summer. A bit early, no? And as always, this is simply internet hearsay. But rechargeable batteries are always welcome.

Well I think the Wii mote is fine as it is at the moment but if they wanted to release a new one I can't see it selling too well if im honest. I for one will stick with what I have. Then again the rechargeable batteries sounds good.

They probably want it out before too many people buy 4 of the normal WiiMotes'

I'd buy one.
