They should've made the IR sensor like Time Crisis 4. For Time Crisis, the two IR lights are only connected by a wire, and you place one light on the top corners of your screen. This way, it works like the Wii sensor bar, but it also knows the size of your screen, allowing pinpoint accuracy.

With a calibration menu you can get precise (enough) screen size as well. You simply ask the user to expan/shrink a bar on screen until it is the same size as the bar above it. This is all the info you need to know size.

@OT,

I hate to say it but I do think something is set up wrong still.  Perhaps there is another IR source causing issues nearby?  I point directly at the screen in all of the games I have.  In fact where I normally sit I can look down the Wii-Mote like a gun and the on-screen pointer is usually pointing to within 1/2" of where I'm actually pointing if I'm aiming to an extreme edge of the TV.  I just got a new TV so if this thread is still going when I pick it up and set it up etc I will repost my experience in recalibrating everything and see if that checklist doesn't help you.

always something wrong with the Wii...



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

yeah the sensor bar pointer gets annoying at times



Can't say I've ever had any issues with having to aim at the sensor bar instead of the TV. It works perfectly in all games for me (unless the sensor bar slides back a bit - I keep it on top) I always aim at the TV.



 

The title is too wrong. The implication of the title and OP is that Nintendo didn't do the IR sensing to squill's satisfaction, so that means Nintendo was too conservative for the Wii to truly achieve greatness.

Anyone else thinks this is a little dumb?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
