Nintendo Wii’s sensor bar apparently goes awry when confronted in natural light. This means if you are playing Wii Sports or Metroid Prime 3 in direct sunlight then the movement and alignment is not accurate.
A member on the Nintendo NSider forum discovered this little oddity during a recent Wii demonstration at Nintendo World. When the sun hit the showroom and shrouded the display units in bright warm light, the movement sensors fails to pick up the actions via the Wiimote…
As Gizmo would say in Gremlins: “Bright lights! Bright lights!” So if you wish to play Zelda Twilight Princess, best to draw the curtains.

Bought one and you can check out my review here - http://www.emagi.co.uk/2006/11/21/nintendo-wii-has-landed/
The thing I’m looking forward the most is the innovation that the control scheme can bring, the social aspect that has been lost thanks to online gaming and building a social atmosphere within the room that revolves around gaming that anyone can pick up and play.
