This little newsstory smacked my face...

http://www.projector-news.com/projector-news/nintendo_wii_wont_play_nice_with_projectors.html

I cant play Wii games on my goddamn projektor...

Still if the sensor cable is about 10 feet then it might just be able to work.. But im not quite sure Sad

Though I fear the worst Sad

OMG, if they limit the cable lenght to only 10 feet im not buying a wii. If they have extenders it might be ok. Dumb move on nintendos part since Projectors are becoming much more common place in households. My media room is entirely based around my projector.

This sucks.. but luckily I have an unusual set up with all my stuff at the front of the room under the screen. When I move to another place however... I wont want to look at that clutter.. so I hope they do make longer cables, extensions or whatever... the only concern about that though, is lag.

Yeah, that's one of the first thing I thought of when seeing pics of everything and saw that the sensor strip was wired, will be hell trying to set it up with the projector at the back of the room. Nintendo definitely should have made that sucker bluetooth like the controllers to play nice with home theatre type setups.

But Im not worried too much. Im sure that 3rd parties will notice that shortcomming and come up with longer cords or a wireless solution in no time, that is if nintendo doesnt first.
