Why in the world would Nintendo release an extra charging station for the Revolution controller? It's either going to be a cord that plugs into the system and the controller or, and I think this is a MUCH better solution, they're going to include one controller shell with the system that also acts as a charging station. They have to include the shell to make SNES and N64 games playable anyways and it's not like it's going to take a huge change to make it a charging station, it only makes sense IMO

There are 4 controller ports on the back of the system, unless things have changed. I agree, I have no idea why IGN believes that they will release such a thing when there is obviously a much easier solution.

Above, readers can see a charge unit specifically designed for the one-controller household. The Revolution controller fits snugly inside the cradle, whose power adapter plugs into an outlet and enables an ample supply of constant electricity. No brainer stuff, really. What readers may not have immediately noticed in our mock-up, however, is that the Revolution controller's light windows, normally reserved to showcase which port a unit is wirelessly connected to, now serve a dual purpose. When plugged into a charge cradle, the 1-4 windows light up individually, giving users an idea of how much charge a Revolution controller holds. If all windows are dead, the controller has no battery charge. If, on the other hand, all four windows are lit up, the controller is fully charged.

Wow...

Now IGN is giving a review of a mock-up design THEY made. Maybe I should design a console system and write a review on the pros/cons of said console system...as if it was a real system.

"The XBox 360 isn't out yet, but we can make shit up and then talk about what we made up. For example, it has dual-video GPUs, powered by blast processing..."
