So, the part of my Wii Sensor Bar that connects to the Wii broke off, and for a while now, I've been using candles. My candles are fresh out of wax now, so I figured it's time to start looking around for a new Wii Sensor bar, or a way to fix my old one, which I think should be fairly easy, since it's just a power cable.

Anyway, if you were in my situation, what would you do? And do you know any stores in the Englewood Area of Ohio that might have a sensor bar?

I've heard of a Wireless Sensor Bar by Nyko, and I was wondering when that's supposed to come out, too. Is it battery powered, like the home-made design which was posted here a while back? Or does it sit on a charger for a while?

Thanks in advance to those who help.

If you want to go the online route, you can get it directly from Nintendo (http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?lastAction=setCurr&jspStoreDir=NOASTORE&languageId=-1&catalogId=10001&categoryId=58403&productId=117713&currency=USD&storeId=10001&ddkey=SetCurrencyPreference).

They're supposed to be really simple to make, since they're just a set of IR LEDs. I don't know how expensive those are, but a wireless sensor bar would be pretty easy to make if you're adventurous.

I think I was just in Englewood last weekend, though (I can never figure out what Dayton suburb I'm in when I go there) and no store had any Wii accessories at all, save for a single used Wii controller sitting on a shelf behind the counter at a Funcoland. So online through the Nintendo store is likely your best bet if you just want to buy one.

You could use two remote controls, like the TV remote and the DVD remote.
