The sensor bar for the six-year-old Wii is not needed to setup a Wii U console. A sensor bar is included in some Wii U packages, but you’ll only need it connected to your Wii U when you play games that function with Wii Remotes.
Remember, the sensor bar that comes with Wii U is essentially the same one that is included in any Wii package. If you want to play Wii games on Wii U, you’ll obviously need the sensor bar connected to the new console.
Well, if you have a Wii game, then I guess you have a Wii. Then play the fucking game on your Wii. I will do that.
Noone wants to keep that garbage. Throw it away and download ur titles onto ur wiiU
@numchuck norris
Tell me you didn’t just say that. Only RETARDS download games. Common idiots who deserve for their consoles to break and lose all of their downloads. I guess everybody has to learn the hard way.
You sir, are an idiot.
“Only RETARDS download games” Really??? well excuse me for wanting to play night sky sense THAT IS THE ONLY YOU CAN PLAY IT! With that statement you just made your self a retard!
obviously,this guy never heard of indie games before.
Are you living in the fucking stone age?
Only on Nintendo systems do they make it hard to recover your downloads if your system breaks. It isn’t a problem on other consoles. But then again, odds are Nintendo’s consoles are least likely to break down in the first place.
Some people will trade in their Wii’s.
In England you would probably get about £20 for a boxed wii with a wii remote , nunchuck and sensor bar on trade in. Saying that , you would probably on get £35 for an original Xbox , £50 for original PS3.
A fucking joke. £20 ??? I guess I will buy a poster and a footlong sub and pay for the bus home ? lol..
A poster of a fit bird? Who would you get? I would get one of Elena from vampire diaries.
Nice
first Perras!
No you dont Pendejo!
hahahaha te chingaron
Telo sico! Haha
No eres el primero hasta que tome mi herramienta de replicación de su unidad de eliminación de residuos.
thanks god!
How retarded are you? Don’t you know God doesn’t exist?
Respect other people beliefs you asshole. Unless they forced your belief on you, you have no right to force your belief on them.
I agree. I’m don’t believe God but I’m not a dick about it.
Wanna prove it to believers?
Then here’s what you do;
Go die.
See where it takes you then send back “evidence”.
That’s nice and all but have you died and came back? Because if you have then give me a detailed story of what you saw while you were just a spirit. If you haven’t then you have no right to crush another’s beliefs. That’s inhumane and lame dude.
I know people who have medically been dead for 3 days that have came back to life who “claim” they had an O.B.E. and met their passed away relatives. Although, scientists are still trying to find “concrete” evidence for such a phenomena.
go to hell mate , god exist nether you like it or nether you don’t
The CTMU supports you. :)
I’m probably gonna leave the sensor bar in then.
So the GamePad and Pro Controller just connect to the Wii U itself? Great to hear :D
I’ve heard enough. *cancels pre order*
Another day, another Nintenwaed troll-attempt. Man. you’re wasting Internet space. We know you a Nintendo fan so enough “canceling my pre-order” bullshit.
Damn , my comment was obviously sarcastic. This issue is a minor lol. Ofcourse I am not canceling my pre order, it’s just a joke.
I fail to even see the issue here…. Your joke doesn’t make sense because there is nothing to get “mad” about. No reason to cancel your preorder(even if you are saying it sarcastically)… It is like a microsoft fan saying “Im cancelling my pre-order” because the new Xbox comes in a “variety of colors”. Makes no sense. Nothing to get mad at.
You are arguing about nothing. Get a life.
What don’t you understand about ‘It’s just a joke’. seriously, what the hell.
btw. I don’t ”troll” , I ”fanboy” :). Not proud of it , just can’t help loving Nintendo. I am 21 years of age and Have been loving Nintendo since I got a SNES for cristmas in 93.
Ahhh, it’s okay. I’m just sick of brats like peteriuss and aeolus trolling when they are obivious Nintendo fans, and thought you might be one like them.
no no. I’m not interested in wasteing my time trying to upset people LOL.
I just like constructively discussing all things wiiu and 3ds. Cus the wiiu is just about to come out, I am like super excited and can’t stop reading fucking news about it.
I guess when it’s out I will play and stop reading so much news XD!!
Your 21? Your old enough to drink Nintendaliqour and smoke Nintendaweed, welcome the club!
First drink and smoke is on us! What are you having, I recommend the Wii U, it has a tremendous flavor. It comes in Vanilla flavor and Black Coffee.
you’re
What kind of parent gives his kid a snes when he is 1? Right no one.
2, actually. 21-19=2
I will still keep my Wii after I buy a Wii U, just like I keep my older systems.
I am donating mine to a charity shop :)
Sent it to me im poor :(
How about you get off your fucking ass and get a job?
Dude. Wasn’t that a little too harsh.
International shipping fee to puerto reco ? lol. It’s going to cancer research my tropical friend.
I can cure it, give me a unlimited budget and 30 years time limit :)
same :)
above comment for you @flint – _ – i hate when this happens
Will the pro controller/gamepad work like a wii remote for wii games or do I need to purchase one of those as well?
does the Wii remote work for gamecube games? that’s pretty much what you asked.
Lol! bloh_angel… you crack me up!!
You sir are hired, come to my office ASAP tomorrow.
You sir are fired for not saying that sooner! I’m sorry, maybe you can get a job a Microsony, just kidding they do see talent like we do, still love’em though.
you my dear sir, are full of win.
I can’t believe some people are dumb enough to get rid of their previous console when they buy a new one. Who in their right mind does that? I cherish my video game collection (including the consoles). The only way I’d ever get rid of my games or consoles is if my house burned down and it was out of my control.
So if you burned down your house and it was under your control, then you’d keep your games?
If your house is on fire, your actual house, yea the big walls and stuff surrounding you and your belongings thats out of your control point blank period. Hell if your on fire that’s out of your control.
“Who in their right mind does that?” People who live in a country (Brazil) where each console is priced for R$ 1,200~1,900 (US$ ~600~950 — thats the price if we’re lucky). The PS3 was R$ 6.900 in the launch ¬¬’ (~US$ 3,450 — I know, thats insane. Now it costs R$700~1,000~~US$350~500). So if you want to buy new console you NEED to sell your older consoles.

HUH – _ – once again happened again (sigh) @MrRetroJunkie the comment up top is directed at you
People who are tired of the clutter, and won’t use or have enough TV’s hooked up. In my house we had: 2 NES, Genesis , Super Nintendo, 2 64’s, Gameboy, Gameboy colour, 2 GBA, 3 DS’s, 2 3DS’s, PSone, PSP, 2 PS2’s, Xbox, 4 360’s, 3 PS3’s and a Vita. The Wii will move to the basement now hooks up along with a PS3, PS2, and 64. The WiiU will take it’s place on the 52 inch screen next to a PS3 on the main floor. Can’t wait to acquire one of the greatest systems of all time, The Wii U.
I can certainly understand not wanting to keep all your old consoles, once you have a few of them there’s only so much space/gaming time.
Im still installing the bar so I can feel special :D
Good for you…Too bad nobody cares.
Fail. you cared enough to reply
I was a saracastic commnet. Calm down
Balls deep
Sensor bar FTW.
I am loving the Wii U even more now.
is that because it’s got sensor bar
One week to go, 7 days and it’s Wii U season my friends.
My body. IT IS READY.
Mine is not.
Is it? O_O
Actually, I’d say at least Wii U decade! :D
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yesssssssssssssssss
Keeping my Wii.
Transfering everything to my WiiU.
Saving my Wii as my “Eternal Darkness,” and “PN03” Machine.
Another PN03 fan?! Awesome!
only wii games im gana play is smash bros brawl sensor bar not required besides i sold my wii
So games that use the wiimote like Nintendo land and others use the wiimote so you’re going to have to use the sensor bar?
Is Nintendo trying to abandon motion controls? >.< Say it is not true, for God's sake!
hope not, thats just middle finger to the loyal fanbase.
I see. They are like playing with such a serious business… >.<
Gamepad uses Motion Controls. Gyro sensor and such. Games like Mario Mart U and Mario Party ten and such will use motion controlled.
True. But my concern is about the future. If today sensor bar is not obligatory anymore, who can guarantee that third-party developers will use motion controls in their games? For a number of reasons – including economic – it is very plausible that they will merely port games to Wii U, without any specific features, e.g., motion controls, like we still fortunately had on Wii. The motion appeal of gaming is dying slowly and sadly.
What if it was some extension that let you connect Gamecube controllers to it O.o or Wavebirds?
By the way, Gamecube controller is the most ergonomic and beautiful joystick ever made. And Wii remote and nunchuck are the most innovative.
I agree. I’ve literally spent thousands of hours playing with it and very rarely have ever had discomfort with it.
I wonder if you can you point to the screen with the Gamepad? That seems like it’ll be a little awkward…
Guys…

Scared the shit out of me
I know this is off topic & all
But Id like Kid Icarus Uprising for Wii U!!!
Sounds great. I also wish we had a new Star Fox game running at 1080p, 60 fps, made by Retro Studios ASAP.
My thoughts exactly. I hope Star Fox is unveiled next year at E3…
Fingers crossed!
I was thinking the same thing!!! Kid Icarus Uprising on the Wii U would be fantastic, because it would fix the biggest issue which is the controls. Also, the online
would be better through the Wii U.
Just wish they included that $4.00 remote and nun chuck. I don’t have any
Someone has released some of the background music on the Wii U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAx8sBi2PPM&feature=player_embedded
Cool? I guess I won’t need to set it up for the Wii-U, for most games, seeing as my Wii will still be there for Wii/GC games and Wii mods.

Well how do Wiimote plus controllers sync up then?
Point at a light/window. :)
But the post is just saying its not mandatory for set up since it just uses the game pad. For games that you use wii remotes in you’ll need it.
Then you’re going need to set-up the Sensor Bar.
I don’t see much of a problem here.
i wonder how the Wiii games will look on the WiiU
Plan on keeping the Wii. I’ll have it hooked up to one TV, and the Wii U hooked up to another. I’ve got everything hooked up right now, and love having the options. NES, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox, and PS3. Not all to the same TV, of course.
Just have to decide if I want to transfer the digital downloads to the Wii U or keep them on the Wii.
Who wants Metroid Prime 4 on Wii U? If you do please like this page on facebook so we can get Nintendo’s attention! :)
https://www.facebook.com/100000FansForMetroidPrime4OnWiiu
Makes sense I suppose. I have no reason to remove the sensor bar so it will stay put. Better yet I’ll have two now.
You obviously need this bar to play all multiplayer games. Who wouldn’t install it?
Lonely people.
