Ok, so I bought a Wii finally. A few questions/comments on controls

[Delusional]

my initial batteries actually lasted a while, (10 hours or so on zelda, 5 hours on raving rabbids, and lots of play time on wii sports). maybe cuz i used some other brand batteries to start with.

anyways, if your sensor bar isn't too good for that far of a distance, there are some cheap, more powerful sensor bars available. those should extend the range further out.
