Thats right people, but maybe not in the way you were thinking. You know that sensor bar that comes with the wii? Well all it is is a bunch of LEDs which give out IR (infra red) waves. Now candles also give out infra red waves so all you have to do is place 2 candles on top of your tv about 15 to 30cm apart depending on the size of your tv. And it actually works!

That would also explain why Fairy lights affect the wii mote because they also give out infra red waves and the number of them (about 50) is sure to give your wii a bit of confusement!

Also apparently you can use the wii mote as a mouse for your pc (look on Youtube) but im not sure how they do it. Apparently it uses the bluetooth part of the wii mote (most laptops have bluetooth for remote controlling them).

Long live the Wii!
