Wii sensor bar extension?

[its_hey_ma]

Is there any extension cord for the sensor bar yet? Or how hard would it be to actually extend it by myself?

No extension cord that I'm aware of, however there is a wireless sensor bar you can buy that runs on a 9 volt battery. I'm not sure how well it works though; I haven't tried one yet.

People actually need an extension cord? The thing on there already is like a bowl full of spaghetti. That's the only thing that sucks about the Wii.. trying to lug it to a friend's/relatives house. There's too much spaghetti/parts.

I think it's weird too.

The thing is almost 12 feet long. I want to see a picture of someone's room with the Wii 12 feet away from their T.V. and they actually use it that way all of the time.

When I pick up some component cables I plan to run it on my rear mount projector and would hate to have the Wii just sitting in the middle of the room

I may have to give this a try and see how well it works.

You don't need the sensor bar at all, because it doesn't sense anything. All the bar does is shoot out two (actually, four, two on each side) IR beams that your wiimote picks up. That wire doesn't send any information. The Wii remotes work just as well if you set any bright object up in it's place. For instance, if you set a candle on either side pf the screen, it will also work. The Wii Remotes just uses the beam coming out of the sensor bar as it's "limitations guide". So feel free to unplug the bar and use something else in it's place. The name is quite misleading though. "Sensor Bar". Heh. ok.

There was a story about this on IGN. Apparently the candles worked relatively well
