Wii batteries

Does the remote come with batteries? Are they rechargeable? should I purchase a charging dock?

Mine did.

But they were plain AA batteries. We don't go through enough to change to the charger solutions. But your choice.

I have yet to see a charging dock for the Wii that actually works as good as standard alkaline batteries. For me, Duracell seems to last longest, but YMMV.
