How to Play Wii Games on the Wii U WITHOUT a TV Sensor Bar

[@josephcastle3872]

You can also use two candles instead of the sensor bar because it does the same thing that the sensor bar does. The sensor bar is just two inferred lights that lets the Wii remote triangulate it’s position, thus allowing it to determine where the pointer should be on screen.

Yeah just candles are a bit more dangerous if you have children using it

my sensor bar just was broken and i was super scared i wouldnt be able to play my old wii games i haven’t played since i was much younger!! so happy, thanks :)

[@israelflores5448]

Very neat trick, never knew about the sensor bar on the wii u gamepad and the B - button bypass to the wii menu at startup... thx a lot. The Wii u still surprises me after 5 years - what an awesome console, still love it :)

[@BigBankBailey]

Right that's a cool shortcut instead of waiting for the load I bought mine used I can't read the instructions unless I download them but who does that haha.

[@yungsagegaming8577]

Thank you Vince, I actually didn't know the Wii U had a built in sensor bar

[@monkeygameplay5455]

Lol me 2 i think nintendo didn't knew too cause they included a sensor bar in the wii u box which is weird

[@anubis9116]

It doesn't, its picking of the light from the gamepad and wiiu as a light point,

THANK YOU SIR!!! The first tip is EXACTLY what I needed! I was wondering what I had to do in order to make this happen. 2020 and people still searchin'!

[@Sarah_Kinz]

It’s nice you don’t have to use that damn sensor bar. My cats always go for the cords like it’s toys and I tel them no and they’re like “huh?” 😅😂😂

[@mrblack576]

But the wii u screen has to be on to use the wii bar inside ?

I love all of the controller and game compatibility Nintendo consoles have

[@professorwesley9490]

daniel aldersson or had, before the Switch

[@danielaldersson1533]

WiisleyU Games I still think it's cool how you can still connect tonnes of old controllers on the switch but obviously not the old games because its cartridge

[@professorwesley9490]

daniel aldersson Switch dont accept old Controllers, It only accept keyboards, there is no retrocompatibility on the Switch at all

Hello bro, a question, can the games that require WII motion plus, such as wii sport resort or wii play motion, be played with the wii u remote? Thanks and good video

Thank you soooo much, my sensor bar ordered is coming in late and not being able to play Glalaxy was killing me!

[@RedRabbit08]

You can also use a flashlight to add it on top of a tv to point your wiimote at it,so the icon will appear from the screen from your TV screen.

[@augustusle5583]

This didnt work for me, so I looked for a stand for the gamepad and i found a sensor bar! Thanks dude

[@SuperSomieStuff]

If you don't have a classic controller and the game is digital does this work?

[@Sir_limon]

Yea it should

[@thecelestialstarship]

It's 2018 and I still have a Wii U and I love it!

[@hakeemhisham]

when i press the b button on wii u screen, it comes out the option to choose payload default, fw_img_loader, nanddumper. what do i choose?

[@alden3402]

i don’t think you can because your wii u is homebrewed

[@marinicku]

Thank you so much. This helped a lot.

[@rreddavis157]

Yes it did

[@morbozim]

Thanks! My Wii U is now connected via a Receiver in the back of the room so the sensor bar won't reach the TV, but using the wireless gamepad as sensor works!

[@Emblematicify]

For those of you that have the quick menu on your WiiU gamepad, I found disabling it made the first fix work.

If you press X when on the WiiU menu you can swap the display between the TV and the Gamepad, All the tiles will then be on the gamepad and you can then open the wii menu and select the option for TV and Gamepad using the thumbsticks or the touchscreen totally bypassing the need for the classic controller.

[@pineappleroad]

Doesn’t work for me, the options for TV or TV and Gamepad show on the TV regardless

Hi, I am so sorry. I am behind on so many other projects that I am taking a break from eBay for a while. There are other eBay sellers that have the VDSL cables for sale and some of them sell good stuff. Realistically I think it will be another 4-6 weeks before it is open again. Thanks and apologies.
