Rumor: Nintendo has a redesigned Wiimote in the works

By way of Japanese source Game Lab, German gaming site GameFront reports that a redesign for Nintendo's Wiimote is in the works. The rumored redesign is to feature a rechargeable battery, as well as gripping to keep those overzealous gamers from putting one through the TV. From the site (post Google translation):

"Nintendo is to work allegedly on a better Wii remote maintenance, which is delivered at the latest in the summer in Japan. The Japanese Game Labo in its rumor column maintains. The revised remote maintenance is to be more easily, possess a better pavement grip and rechargeable its - Nintendo did not confirm the assumptions of the Game Labo."

What do you guys think? Is this honestly going to happen?
