Re: Official Wii Discussion

How does the wireless sensor bar connect? I assume you have a little widget that plus in somewhere on the Wii. I ask because I already have all my wavebird wireless stuff and Gamecube memory cards plugged in on top. Thanks.

So yeah this system is just "eh" to me. My daughter doesn't really even play it... a waste of money it may have been....

Patience Yoda. Try Zack and Wiki or Super Mario Galaxy. Try Super Smash Brothers Brawl next month.

I am a video game junkie, have been forever. However, I cannot see myself sitting down and playing any Wii game by myself for any extended period of time.

To me the Wii is an entire console based around an idea like the running pad for the original nes. Its great with friends but its not so much fun by myself.

Not to mention playing $60 for a fully functioning controller is beyond me.

Yeah I mean the system was for her and being a "family" system. Yet she isn't really into games (she plays them and plays her DS from time to time, but nothing she comes home and wants to do, which is good actually and I knew that) so she got it christmas and we have played probably 4 times if that many since.

I dunno too much!

Understandable, and you're lucky. Sometimes I wish my daughter didn't like games so much. My wife gets on her case all the time. She just made the principal's list again and is about to start guitar lessons (she's 10) though, so it's not like that's all she does. It just happens to be a hobby like it is for me. Smash Brothers might be a fun game for you two to play together.

I agree that it's main draw for people to get into the system is that its control scheme is so different, but once you start looking at some of the games, that control scheme really makes the game what it is. You could play Super Mario Galaxy or Zack and Wiki with a regular controller, but the remote adds so much too it. At one time, I was in the same boat. It was getting a little stale and Wii bowling could only be played so many times. That has really changed for me lately though. It's still only a little over a year old. I think you'll start to see developers really take advantage of the technology this year.

That's the crazy thing, there is nothing to connect. It is just the wireless sensor bar. No USB dongle, no nothing. It's great. I don't know how it controls the Wii, it just does, LOL. I thought I was missing a piece when I got it in the mail and there was nothing to plug into the Wii, LOL.

You'd just better hope that at her first lesson, she doesn't ask why there's no blue, green, yellow, or red buttons on her guitar.

LOL. No joke. She actually started playing on medium the other day and wasn't doing too bad.

Are you serious? That thing must be magic! I'm not buying one now, because...you know...that just freaks me out a little bit.

How do it know?

The Wii technically doesn't need anything plugged in for the sensor bar. Unplug yours now, and set up 2 candles next to the TV, it'll work the same.

Ok, that's officially freaky.

Holy crap, I had no idea it could do that. So, what'll happen if I put a Ouija board in the same room? Will I be able to contact the Mario Brothers and tell them I want all the f'in quarters back I wasted on their *** back in 1984?
