More Wii Heliophobia!

Some more notes on the Wii's heliophobia, this time courtesy of Kikizo, who were also clever enough to scientifically label the Wii's Dracula-like phobia. Apparently, the Wii does have a problem with direct sunlight. But!

Nintendo told Kikizo today that this is a known issue with the Wii. A company representative explained that the Wii sensor bar is affected by head-on exposure to sunlight, which could cause "some interference". But he likened it to not being able to see a TV with the sun shining straight on it.

Fair enough. I only play games naked, smeared in blood, in the dark anyway.
