Went to JB HiFi today and notice this Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar for sale there @ $37.**. Seems a lot bigger then the standard Nintendo one and it takes AA Battery's. It also has some sort of warning (Think it beeps or yells at ya haha) if you leave it on without it being used for a bit.

Anyone got one or have a review with some photos on this as I would be keen on seeing if its better then the standard one and the connection it uses to the back of the console itself.

Heres the site for it - www.nyko.com/

how does it know if you're using it?? oh, i see, it's just a timer.

Anyway 30hrs for 4 AAs is terrible!
Wavebird used RF wireless technology and has 100hrs for 2 AAs!!

it's a good concept but I think most people go through enough batteries with the wiimote, might be usefull if your TV is hanging off a wall.

I'll probably end up getting one, it has a bigger distance which is good... i mean... the chord for it at the moment is pretty flimsy, im sure some people would have somehow got it caught on something and snapped it... although yet the 30 hours for aa's is pretty bad

Just build your own. That's what I did. Easy as and can extend the range to what you want.

kojiro says:

zoidberg, why would you want the sensory bar to connect to the wii? It's supposed to be wireless.

The sensor bar is just 4 Infra red LEDs that use the wii as a power source. There's no communication of data involved.

ZOIDBERG says:

Nah I dont want it to connect to the Wii I was just wondering how it sends the movements from the remote to the system itself without being plugged into the back. Just wondering thats all

if you want a wireless sensory bar then just put two candles next to each other and light them when you want to play its cheap and wireless plus it works perfectly as long as you haven't got anything flammable nearby here this video from good game will prove it!!

btw zoidberg I hope this help answer your question on how it connects to the wii. IT DOESN'T!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

the wii system has bluetooth in it. you dont need the sensor bar for the wii remote to work

Wii-Fan says:

all you need is a light source the lights on the sensor bar provide that does everyone get it now you can use candles you can use a bright window you can use anything

what's wrong with the standard nintendo one?
does the nintendo one need batteries?
If it takes batteries, why would you want it?
having to buy battery cells today is ridiculous now that we can have rechargeable li-ion packs.
I hate products that want you to buy battery cells.

kojiro says:

the problem with the nintendo one is that some people have a projector, which means the cable is not long enough to reach.

also if your Tv is mounted on the wall you might want a wireless one to improve living room aesthetics

ZOIDBERG says:  

I think the price of $37.** is a tad too much for what it is then. They need one that recharges some how as batteries suck
