The actual Wii has a power supply rated to 7-12V, so theoretically, anything in this range should be sufficient as long as there are the Amps to back it up, however, this is not the case. Some bars draw almost the full 12V, and some draw almost the minimum 7V. That's why I suggested using a multimeter to test yourself. Because the resistors are large relative to the LEDs, the LEDs usually draw less than 5V, which is why putting in small resistors to adjust the ratio is sufficient to bring the brightness up enough.
If I was simply soldering an actual power supply to the bar, as opposed to changing the bar's voltage requirements, I'd go for a 10-12V one, as that's the most normal range for the bar to lie in.
