Wiimote Info Released

IGN revealed some information about the Wii controller.

The controller will use 2AA alkaline batteries giving it 30 hours of life if the game uses precision aim, and 60 hours if it only uses the accelerometer. It will use 2.4GHZ Bluetooth technology to communicate with the console.

The remote will have 6 KB of built in “non volatile” memory. What does it do? No info as been release about its usage yet. I’m just going to speculate here, so I can say “I told you so”, when it’s announced. I’m thinking that you’ll be able to store your character that you designed on the console, you know like they did at the E3 press conference with Reggie and Shigeru Miyamoto. So when you go to a friend’s house, you can just bring your remote with you and have your own character.

The LED on the controller has two purposes. First it will tell you which player you are. Secondly, it will monitor the battery life of the remote.
