Who in their right mind would need a travel Wii sensor bar, you might be wondering. But the thing is, unlike the pricier, and heavier, PS3 and Xbox 360, the Wii isn't that big a pain in the ass to carry around with you when traveling, say for holidays. For instance, I'm bringing the Wii with the family as we drive from Colorado to Georgia. (We leave tonight.) In fact, I've managed to get the Wii to work on the mini-van's drop down television, but more on that later. More »

Most of us have heard of the candle replacement trick for your Wii sensor bar, but for those traveling to places they'd prefer not to set on fire, this retractable travel Wii sensor bar might be a good solution. Actually...no. We don't get this product at all. Even if the middle is made of wire, how is this any more portable than our old sensor bar? Don't buy this. It's a dumb product in search of a problem that it cannot solve. More »

A simple idea that is a completely practical buy as far as accessories go. Personally, I hate the fact that the sensor bar has to be connected to the Wii. It's so prone to getting moved around by cats and cleaners (yes, we have a cleaner at the Tower), and the thin wire that connects the two together absolutely loves getting tangled up in stuff. A wireless sensor bar like the one being offered up by Nyko is perfect to fix such situations. Although it runs off batteries, the bar has an on and off switch as well as an automatic off timer that can be programmed at one hour or two hours. It's priced at 3,200 Yen, and for those who like to keep their shelves free of cat hazards, the Nyko wireless sensor bar has to be the way to go. More »

Don't need, don't want it. But, for people who hate wires, this might be perfect. Back in December, we (not "we," Luke actually) posted a wireless Sensor Bar. It kinda sucked. More »

As I predicted way back when Nintendo first announced the sensor bar for the WIi, people who front projection systems are sorta screwed. Actually, they are totally screwed unless their projector is mounted within a dozen feet or so of the surface they are projecting on. More »

It is watching you. Always. Reader Jay points out that the Wii Sensor Bar is constantly lit while playing. He took some still images with a nightshot video camera just to drive the point home. The ironic bit? Why, it was a Sony video camera! Brian Ashcraft More »

Those that have their hearts set on shinning sunlight directly onto their Wii Sensor Bar are worried. Worried that they won't be able to play their Wii in the middle of Death Valley at high noon. And damn well they should be! But, Nintendo isn't worried and doesn't think there is anything to worry about. A company rep tells 1Up: More »

We are so not worried about sunlight and the Wii-mote. Once we get ours, we'll take it outside and look at it. Then, we'll take it inside, plug the it in and seal Kotaku Tower in duct tape so we can play Super Monkey Ball in pitch black darkness. More »
