ConsoleShop has got an interesting accessory for the Wii on sale. It's called the Retractable Travel Sensor Bar and is exactly what it sounds like.
It looks nice, but the designers of the product wasted their time making this. You see, the Wii isn't portable. Sure, it's extremely small so one would think it is portable except for one important factor: It doesn't have a handle. In fact, no system in the history of gaming (not including handhelds and Ben Heck's Frankensteins) have ever been portable except for one system: The GameCube. Why do I think the 'Cube is the only portable system? Because it has a freaking handle. The 'Cube was a majestic beauty of a cube that was only perfected with the curvy handle which signified that Nintendo wanted you to take it with you wherever you went. That, and use it as a weapon to bash people over the head with ...
Er, what was I talking about? Oh the Sensor Bar. It's stupid, don't waste your money. If you really need a new Sensor Bar, then buy their wireless Sensor Bar which is actually cheaper. Or use candles to which I hope you knock over and burn your house down.

also, this sensor bar = complete waste.
As long as you get the right accessories, it's incredibly portable.
Ohh Yeah, I don't own a Wii yet!
They're called "boxes", and if you're upper-class, "backpacks".
The worst: the I-Con bar. Stay the hell away from that one.

or have you seen those people with pimped out cars with dvd players, satnavs, a dozen screens and a few games consoles built in? being the smallest of the consoles i will not be surprised that it is the most popular choice for being used in projects like these
