destructoid.com — Nyko has announced three new Wii accessories, one of which allows you to simultaneously charge two Wiimotes via rechargeable batteries. Additionally, a wireless sensor bar will allow those with difficult TV setups to abandon the ugly cord that hangs down from atop your television.

$30 isn't a bad price i don't think, considering a typical 1 hour charger + decent batteries is $30+, and being able to 'dock' your wiimote when not in use helps you out by lessening the chance of having to find yours down inside the couch.

Joking aside, candles make a horrible sensorbar replacement, sure they are better then nothing, but the error in detection you get is pretty horrible and not really something you would want to have while actually playing a game. Candles really are not what I would call a fully functional sensorbar replacement, even my ceiling lights give me a much better detection then a set of candles.

@grumbel me and my friend used candles for a few hours and i couldnt notice a difference in the quality of the tranmission. It helps if you use larger brighter candles.

The sensor bar only uses the connection to the Wii to draw power so you can just cut the wire and attach it to a 9v battery or transformer located behind the tv - much cheaper

I would much rather have an attachment that plugs the sensor bar into the wall. It doesn't matter so much when I use the sensor bar on my TV, but when I use it on projectors, I would rather just plug it into a wall and not care about batteries.

Wow, good news from Destructoid! Oh wait, no, it was from another blog. Link to story (should have been the digg story link, it was linked on Destructoid):<a class="user" href="http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/1461/2/">http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/1461/2/</a>

Not a projection TV, people, but a projector. My projector is mounted to the ceiling some 15 (cable) feet from the AV rack which is some 20 (cable) feet from the 120" screen. Wiring something from the rack to the screen is not easy in this kind of configuration.
