Well, no worries if you broke your Sensor Bar, the " 2 candles as sensor bar " tricks makes the sensor bar a thing in the past. Any 2 light sources placed at the edges of the TV will act as a sensor for that matter.

Wouldnt the 2 candles alerady makes it wireless by nature already?tongue.gif

I was surprised to see how workable, and pretty usable, the 2 candle trick is. But until my sensor bar snaps or anything, im using it to the fullest.

Somebody needs to create a big sign or FAQ stat, i believe this is the third time people asking about region lock. Dont get me wrong, we all here wanna help you, but for things like these, Uncle Google and Auntie Search in Lowyat can do this and more without even have to post and wait for answers.

Do you even know what im talking about? blink.gif

SEnsor bars can be replaced by placing two light sources at a distance between each other. The Wiimote then detects these and calibrates itself as the two light sources now acts as the edges of the TV screen.

Weather Channe allows this. You get 5 days forecast for your regionyou seected, and a Today/Tomorrow forecast for the rest of the world. The picture i posted, the guy is from Australia, and he's getting weather for South America!

Ja! I want the News and Forecast channels!! At least something to gawk at rather than a bunch of Mii mingling with each other tongue.gif

Holy $hit, i cant believe im having so much fun with just a simple Weather Channel! This is the best freebie anybody can give, thanks for the early Christman present , Nintendo!

Bloody awesome i tell you, go get your FREE Weather Channel UPDATE NOW!

Zoom in and out with the + and - button, grab the globe and give it a spin to check out weather at distant locations, or simply narrow it down to your location of choice. Today's forecast, as well as tomorrow's...hell, why not 5 days forecast! This will replace weather.com as my weather reference of choice. 2 thumbs way up, Nintendo is a genius including this in. I cannot wait for the News Channel to go online! rclxm9.gif

Krazee bro, KL Malaysia ada, cuma kena zoom in closer, plus Kuala Lumpur is a long city to spell out so interposition of KL with Singapore since both are closely located. The weather forecast is accurate though, and i think they are getting this from TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) and METAR(Meteorological Area Report) which are fed to us us when we go to work. Awesome! KL weather report?A hazy 27 degrees! Word of advice, to get the most accurate readout, refresh and relogin into the Weather channel often as the weather info refreshes every hour.

Woohoo, did everyone got their official email from Nintendo in your Wiis? Great gesture there, Nintendo, well done! I wonder if i can send email back to them this way? biggrin.gif

There is even sound effects for the weather forecast, when it is forecasted to rain, there is rain sound effect, asa we as thunderstorms and such!

The background music in Weather Channel is sooooooooooooooooo soothing, peaceful and relaxing..........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wii controller prototypes from the early days

QUOTE
Wii controller prototypes from the early days 
Perhaps a star controller could have made Nintendo invincible in the new home console race.
 
 
December 19, 2006 - The Wii Remote and its creation is a subject that interests many, and in the past we've been able to take a look at early prototypes and patent images, which have managed to shed a little light on exactly how Nintendo's killer controller came to be.

The Nikkei Business magazine in Japan has apparently published an image depicting four previously unseen controllers, and a couple of them are quite similar to the final product. One of them is downright crazy, though.
