So this is confusing.
I use a Wii. The pointing at TV thingy works.
I use a Wii U on the same TV. Wiimote pointing at TV doesn't work. But the regular buttons on Wiimotes work. Also, pointing Wii U Gamepad at TV works ( It only works on a Nintendo Land Attraction ) .
TV Sensor for Sensing stuff is below Widescreen ( maybe HD ) TV.
You see, im not sure if the TV Sensor has to do with anything really.
Im not sure if the TV sensor thingy is a Wiimote one or Wii U Gamepad one, nor do I know if they are both the same.
I don't really need help. Just askin'.
