1 out of 5 stars As a charger, great. Makes too much noise   October 10, 2008
I bought this hoping it would solve the never ending search for batteries in my house. However, now I have a battery charger that I hardly use because the "cooling system" fan is so loud. Get a standalone charger that doesn't include inserting the Wii. It looks cool, but sounds awful.


5 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE ACCESORY for all Wii owners   September 30, 2008
This is probably the best cooling system and charging station there is for the Wii that is around. Since Nintendo kind of goofed up on the options for not really being able to "turn off" the Wii, it's constantly running. (Aside from unplugging the Wii's power cord, I don't there is any other way to turn it off.) Even when you set to offline mode, the red light, you'll see that it's still technically running, the fan is always spinning. While it doesn't get as hot as it does when in online mode, orange light, or game mode, green light, it still can reach a fairly warm temperature which over time can damage components.

So onn very hot days, I leave my Cooler on, to help prevent damage to my Wii system. The Cooler is much more inexpensive to replace, and it just makes sense to leave it on.

The lights look cool, but I hope in the future a 2.0 version is released which different light schemes. It'd be pretty cool to have a host of being able to display different colors on your base station.

At any rate, this is a top rate product. It does everything it says it does and it's well made. Replacement rechargeable batteries are cheap enough that, in a few years time, when they need to be changed, the cost is so effective vs. conventional battery use.

I highly recommend this product as a must have accessory for your Nintendo Wii system.

5 out of 5 stars Docking station WII   September 18, 2008
The docking station looks cool. I love the glowing blue light on it. Fan does make a little noise but it doesn't bother me. I knew about the fan issues ahead of time. The rechargable batteries work great. They hold a average charge. Price was great. I will purchase this item again and use it on my Xmas list:)


4 out of 5 stars Cool charge station!   September 16, 2008
I like everything about this, the only down fall is you have to remove the remote skins (if your using them) about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom when you put the remotes in the charging dock they don't fit otherwise and the contact point won't connect. I do really like it though. :-)


5 out of 5 stars Chrismatic blue lights that glow beautifully   September 9, 2008
nothing really to do other than plugging in the wires. I am not a game guru but if I can figure it out anyone can. With the base itself, you just have to make sure that the cord is pulled to the side when you place the unit in to be charged. The unit needs to be pushed down with gentle force so you hear it click into the charging unit.The chargeable battery packs are a great money saver because it doesn't take much to wear down the regular batteries. Works beautifully and makes a great night light!
