REVIEW
Feels Very Cheap I don't know why it is so difficult for a company to make a decent charging station for the Wii. In fact, I don't know why Nintendo doesn't just make one themselves. In my opinion the only "good" Wii remote charger on the market right now is the Nyko dual charger. It is a shame that they do not make a quad charger.
I bought this Penguin United quad charger based off another review stating that it had good battery life etc. The battery life does seem to be pretty good but I don't expect these batteries to have a very long extended life expectancy. The entire system is very cheap feeling and the batteries are so light weight that it almost seems as if there is nothing inside. Just trying to place the remote in the charging station is a chore in of itself. The opening is very tight and if you do not position the remote perfectly it will not charge.
The indicator light are not very clear either. The instructions say 1 light is 25%, 4 lights is 100% charged etc. However, with no remotes in the charging stations all 4 lights are illuminated (as well as an annoying blue ring of light...) Why do all these accessory companies feel the need to add an annoying blue light to everything they make!? You shouldn't have to struggle for 10 - 15 seconds per remote just to verify that it is making a proper contact. You should only need to drop it in and let it start charging.
I just want a good quality charging station for the Wii, is that so much to ask? I am definitely returning this charging station and buying a second Nyko dual charger even if it means I have to give up another power port...
