Nintendo Wii Pre-orders Available at GameStop Tomorrow, October 13

We doubt it’s necessary to pre-order a Wii now that there’s going to be two million Wii units available on launch day, but if you live in Sweaty Crack, North Dakota, where there’s only going to be five units, we suppose it’s good to reserve one. GameStop and EB Games stores will begin accepting limited…

Sun: 1, Wii Sensor Bar: 0

So the Nintendo Wii has that fancy pants wireless Wiimote thing. And because it allows full gyration controls the Wii needs a fancier sensor. Enter the sensor bar that we first saw a couple days ago. It seems if sunlight is shining directly into the sensor barit will not function properly or at all. https://gizmodo.com/wii-no-longer-sexy-205976…
