So I recently bought the Zelda edition of the Wii U and it's AWESOME!!! I left the sensor bar in the package as I figured it was the same as the Wii one.  I plugged the old sensor bar into the Wii U and it worked.  Yay Nintendo!!

Anyway, I went to turn on the Wii and wondered what would happen if I left the sensor bar plugged into the Wii U. (Remember the Wii has NO sensor bar plugged into it.)  The Wii picked up the Wiimote flawlessly.  I went through all the menus and nothing was out of the ordinary.

The Wii and Wii U are about 4 inches apart. The Wii U is plugged into the TV via HDMI. The wii is plugged into a receiver via RCA then video is ran to the TV via RCA.  Has anyone else tried this? How does it work?

I must add the Wiimote was synced to the Wii and not the Wii U.
