No seriously, they're real. It's a brand new, cutting edge technology that works like this: the controller is connected to the console via a removable cord. When the console is powered on, it charges a battery in the controller. You can then UNPLUG the controller - BUT IT STAYS CHARGED AND FUNCTIONAL.
There you have it. No more tripping Auntie Diane with your controller cord as it's strung across the living room floor. No more eye strain from sitting six feet away from the screen at all times. No more flinging the controller across the room in a fit of rage and having the Sega go tumbling after it when Ryu defeats you in the third round of SFII, Champion Edition, even though Jesus Christ I'm playing as BLANKA for Godssake, and I beat GUILE, and Chun-Li, and KEN - who's basically the same exact character, only blonde, so WHY CAN'T I BEAT RYU? All he fucking does is Hurricane Kick, Shoryuken, Hurricane Kick, Shoryuken, OVER AND OVER, and I KNOW he's doing it, but I'm still losing and I'm not kidding guys, I'm about to lose my shit for real.
Can you believe it? The future: it's here.
