The Nintendo Wii was designed to be a socially interactive console and is most fun when played with four consoles simultaneously. But imagine what happens when all four Wiimotes are fully exhausted! Your game is ruined and you don’t have enough chargers at your disposal in order to juice them up. MeWe World, Inc., an independent Wii video game accessory manufacturer, has launched the first Quad Charger for the Nintendo Wii that allows users to charge up to four Wii remotes with their rechargeable battery packs.

This new quad charger comes in package with four fast-charging rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery packs for up to 13 hours of play time per remote. Thus, the need of constantly purchase and replace standard AA batteries is dead and buried, which is a benefit to both pocketbooks and the environment.

Popular Wii Sports four-player games such as bowling, golf, tennis and multi-player games such as Mario Party 8 generated the frustration of not being able to keep up to four players in the game. Until now. Because you can conveniently charge up to four remotes at the time and all parties can have continuous uninterrupted play.

“When the remotes are in the charging station, an LED display lets players know the charging status and keeps the remotes organized when not in use. The patented-design quad charging station ensures secure connection for the Wii remotes with a uniquely designed storage well along the sidewalls, keeping the Wii wrist strap channeled outside the cradle”; this is what we find out from the press release that announced this brand new device.

“We are very pleased to introduce the first true quad charger. Other chargers claiming to be quad chargers actually hold two Wii remotes and two batteries. The design and usability of this charging station was born out of a need in the marketplace for convenience and cost-effectiveness”, said Al Benyameen, Chief Technology Officer at MeWe.

The Mewe Quad Charging Station retails for $49.95 (with a 1-year warranty) and can be purchased online at MeWe’s official website.
