Whether it's a mod or a hack, we don't quite know, but there's no doubt that it's sweet. Jon Peck and some of his friends decided to commandeer a movie theater for their personal round of Wii gaming - 344 inches of screen, one Wii sensor bar hack, a whole lot of space, and no fear of a broken television from a flying Wiimote.

Best of all, he put up a little how-to for people who want to use the sensor bar hack he adapted from Doctabu. With the hack costing less than 20 dollars, it's a good excuse to make friends with movie ushers just for the shot at playing Wii Tennis on a giant screen. Just remember, you'll need some engineering know-how, really good social skills (to get approval from theater managers), and possibly a job at a movie theater if you want to pull something like this off. Enjoy the video!

The mii is bigger than the person himself.

Seriously cool.

Though it'd be kinda weird to see a Mii with a head bigger than our bodies.

 » Why Wii Sports?

A fighting game = Awesome
An FPS = Awesome
Just about any game = Awesome
But why would you play Wii Sports in a big old cinema? With that much room it'd be close enough to playing Tennis as actually playing Tennis. I'd have played Zelda or something. THAT would've been fantastic.

Maybe because Wii Sports is a multiplayer game?
