The WII 'Sensor' Bar isn't actually a sensor at all. It's an emitter and fully independent from the WII (and you can replace it with well placed candles). Thus, the only reason for the cord attaching it to the WII is to give it power.

Save yourself a whole lot of effort and just buy a wireless emitter and four rechargeable AA batteries.

You are in the home theater section. Which involves all things home theater, not just Blu-ray....

I don't have a Wii, but have friends who do - and they all swear by this option...

Kinda Cool. Got on You tube and found like the other guy said its like an emitter. So watched videos of kids using 2 candles spaced a foot or two apart instead of sensor bar and it was working. Tried it and it worked. a little harder to control but with some practice it worked fine.

The best part was the look on three kids faces when it worked. They thought it was magic.
