"i forgot to attach the sensor bar. nintendo could have done better and made it like the ps3. but i supose, to get the accuracy they had to do it that way."


Do you know the function of the sensor bar?

The Wii remote works with Bluetooth. The sensor bar is just a pair of infrared lights, and the camera inside the remote detects those lights to use the IR Pointer.

The sensor bar is only to use the pointer functions. The camera is that little black window at the top of the remote.

The rest of the connectivity (buttons, analog stick, d-pad, motion) works with Bluetooth.

You can remove the sensor bar if you want, and still play. The only function that will not be available is the pointer.
