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

- Hi, this video shows you how to play Wii games on a Wii U without a sensor Bar. So it shows how to enter the Wii Mode on a Wii U straight from start up so you can use the Sensor Strip on the Wii U Gamepad rather than the Sensor Bar on top of the TV. This is useful if you have damaged your Sensor Bar and still wish to play Wii games.
Many thanks Vince.
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
@@mahinakhter8157 yeah but it helps to limit playtime haha

You too, have a blessed day
Thank you so much! Bless you too
Thankyou so much please take care
God bless you for that
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 :)
Thank you Vince, I actually didn't know the Wii U had a built in sensor bar
Lol me 2 i think nintendo didn't knew too cause they included a sensor bar in the wii u box which is weird
It doesn't, its picking of the light from the gamepad and wiiu as a light point,
@@anubis9116that’s what a sensor bar is
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'!
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?” 😅😂😂
But the wii u screen has to be on to use the wii bar inside ?
2:07 he did the wii remote but he is aimaing it at the wii u
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 :)
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.
I love all of the controller and game compatibility Nintendo consoles have
daniel aldersson or had, before the Switch
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
daniel aldersson Switch dont accept old Controllers, It only accept keyboards, there is no retrocompatibility on the Switch at all
and ethernet adapter I think
The food
I knew about using the gamepad or classic controller but I had no idea that you could hold B on startup and go straight to Wii menu
@@indigosunflower7793 because you didn't transfer
@Rambo panda both
Thank you your amazing I wanted to play my Wii today and sadly I couldn’t cuz of the sensor bar then you made this and these tutorials help me and others play video games
Thank you so much! We had little knowledge and got a second hand Wii U for small kids. We didn’t know how to set up the Wii games correctly but your directions have helped immensely. 👍
1:37 nickname minecraft lmao
Pau Romaguera Palomé ur photo tricked me
2023 and i just decided to let some kid play skylanders but couldn’t find the sensor, god bless for letting this child have a great childhood 🙏
Thanks. (I lost my sensor lol)
You have saved me some troubles with this! Thanks!
Thanks man you really saved my life I didn’t have a sensor bar period but I had a game pad so that really relieved me.
If you don't have a classic controller and the game is digital does this work?
Yea it should
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.
Add
Tysm I couldn’t find my sensor bar this helped me so much :)
This was very useful, I had no idea the gamepad had this function.
For those of you that have the quick menu on your WiiU gamepad, I found disabling it made the first fix work.
Thanks so much dude now I don't have to buy one of those dumb annoying sensor bars!!
Hi mate vice
Donny Boy not if you buy it used
Thanks for saving us $10. We do appreciate it.
So cool. I love using the Wii mote & nunchuck w/ gun accessory for the on rail gun games.
I tried option one and for some reason it is not working for me.
You literally made me the happiest person on the earth.
This didnt work for me, so I looked for a stand for the gamepad and i found a sensor bar! Thanks dude
THIS HAS CURED SO MUCH OF MY FRUSTRATION THANK YOU
Thank you so much! You just save me a few bucks and the time it would've taken for the sensor bar to ship to me. Now I can play Sakura Wars V with no issues!
Thank you soooo much, my sensor bar ordered is coming in late and not being able to play Glalaxy was killing me!
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

thanks bro you really save me
thank you mister, God bless you
this actually help me so much i recently got super paper mario today and i sensor bar was not working so i knew it was broken but this help me so much so i'm so glad this exist thank you so much for making this video😂
Thank you. this video helped me so much and it's the only one I understood his explanation is so good
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!
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?
i don’t think you can because your wii u is homebrewed
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.
Doesn’t work for me, the options for TV or TV and Gamepad show on the TV regardless
Are you sure? The options are displayed on TV regardless for me
Thank you so much I was panicking I don’t have a bar thank you so much
Thanks! We thought we bought a Wii U and couldn’t use it until the sensor bar comes in.
Here's the thing this video helped me so much because i don't have a Wii sensor bar and it would only let me use the game pad but now it shows on both thanks Vince
It's 2018 and I still have a Wii U and I love it!
The Wii had a few cool games on it but trying to play them with those shoehorned-in motion controls is such a pain. I love Mushroom Men for the Wii, which is one of the very few games that actually made good use of the motion controls, but setting up that bar and having wires going this way and that is a pain. This is all a drawn out way of saying “Thank you for showing me this” lol.
Just ran across this. Didn't know you could do this. thx Vince
Wii u continues to amaze me.
You are a life saver!!
I knew about the pro controller etc, but never ever heard of the b at the logo thing....The Wii U might just be technically the best Nintendo console ever....
great vid , clear and understandable thanks
Woz thanks so much! I lost my sensor but thank God for the built in one on the gamepad
It was only after seeing this, I realised I needed my wii motion+ to be fitted. All working fine now, with no sensor bar. Thanks Vince.
Thanks 🙏. My boys found the console and I was struggling to connect it and forgot it has sensor
Thank you so much. This helped a lot.
Yes it did
This seemed to work out for the most part, except that the audio only comes from the gamepad when I do this.
Vince I love you
You saved my life brother
God bless
WHAT A SICK GUY
But of help please I can’t do the first wag as my wii u is chipped it doesn’t bring the wii menu up it gives me 3 options none work is there another way
I have tiramisu custom firmware and it allows me to boot directly to the Wii menu without having to boot the Wii U firmware at all. Does this work as well?
Wow 😮. I have the Wii U on day one, good to know in 2022 👍
Thanks. I been trying to figure out how to play using the TV. I bought my daughter just dance 2020 for wii but she has a wikI and couldn't make it show up on the tv.hopefully this works
Can you save your process in the wii u when your on the wii game
Yeah I have a few Wii games on my Wii u and some pirated GameCube games.
I have a sensor bar and i can't get it to show up to select tv and gamepad. Even after i have it configured.
Thanks for one million subs
It worked so well thank you so much I subscribed to
Thank u so much love this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
you're the man Vince
Vince if I see you in public, I'll give you a big kiss. Thank you so much

😳
Thank you so much
Very helpful!🎉
What is the adapter cord called to go from wii controller to pro controller, & where can I buy it
Does nunchuck work as well since it has a thumb stick?
Does it also work to play wii u games that need wii remote like nintendo land or mario party 10?
thanks i never knew i can do it
The wii menu cannot be controlled with the Wii U gamepad
How can i do it with the wii sensor bar only?
When I was playing my wii u today the sound on the game pad lagged do you know why it only did it twice and has not done if since?
maybe an issue with bandwidth
Thanks! It worked!
Thank you SO much!!!
Another good video, I use a USB sensor bar thats plugged into the tv (not connected to either the wii or wii u directly, but the tv) and one sensor bar connected to the tv works for both wii and wii u,cheapest usb one on ebay t is
