Comparing the complaint about the gimped battery in the launch WiiU knowing there was space in there for a much larger battery and then Nintendo releasing said larger battery for more profit is one thing. Comparing that complaint to the folks moaning about the paywalls of Xbox and Playstation and lack of BC is plain stupid.
Please stop with the weak strawman replies.
lol... You seem like you have you're own agenda here. I don't. So I won't continue, for your sake.Comparing the complaint about the gimped battery in the launch WiiU knowing there was space in there for a much larger battery and then Nintendo releasing said larger battery for more profit is one thing.

I've sold my Wii U, so I largely ignore Wii U threads now. Feel free to PM me if some important news comes up though
ah so that's why you can afford so many vita games
You'll be shocked at what I actually spent the money on.
3DS XL to replace my lost OG model, LM2 and DKCR3D.
It does, pity it's a shit one.i know, absolutely terrible, its not like it comes with a battery now is it
It seems these accessories are up on the UK Nintendo site, with confirmation of the 4th October date.
Interestingly, the Gamepad battery and WM+ battery/cradle are noted as being available from retailers, whereas the standalone WM+ battery appears to be available via Nintendo customer services only.

The Wii Remote Rechargeable Battery will be available for 2.99 + 4.80 on the Nintendo Online Store only. Launches on October 4. Kinda expensive.
Sorry people living in non-NoE-countries as those do not have the Nintendo Online Store.
added to the op.
the price seems alright to me. but are they still only available in black?
man wish this was in NA, this looks great.
Does anyone know where to pick up the gamepad battery in the UK? No online retailers seem to have them.
Does the WiiU gamepad feel significantly heavier with the new battery on??I doubt it, but just to be sure...
does anyone know of a uk retailer that is selling the extended battery?
Not paying this much for a battery upgrade. I'll just plug the charger into the gamepad and play with it. I don't see a problem with it.
This is exactly what I do. I just have a small extension cord running from the wall along the underside of my couch, so the charger cord just comes right up. It is funny though how quickly the battery light comes on whenever I unplug it and watch a show or something from a different spot. It seems like I get a couple of episodes in and the warning light is already on.
The problem arises when you have people over to play local multiplayer, now instead of the controller moving from person to person, the person is getting up moving to where the controller it constantly while it is charging. It sucks.

That's not that difficult to fix. Instead of having people get up to go where the Wii U is, don't invite people over to your house to play games.
Mission Accomplished
My order from amazon.de was delivered today. I bought both the Gamepad battery and the wiimote charging set.
The extended Gamepad battery is actually quite heavy, the weight increase is noticeable. I really doubt that it would have been a good idea to pack it in by default with the Gamepad, you lose a little bit of the great feeling of "easy to hold and to use" with it. You get use to it and it is not that bad in the end, but you would definitely lose the "wow" factor that I personally felt when I first held the Gamepad and played with it.
Give us a small review on the battery when you get a chance.
Woop, ordered the Gamepad battery and the Wiimote charge set.
Yes the "Wii Remote Rapid Charging Set" is now listed on Amazon, no picture added yet though:-the charging thing on amazon?

Really? I bought the Japanese battery and don't really feel a difference. The Gamepad still feels light to me.
