What, really, is the range where you're going to get the best performance out of that? And you're going to get the best performance within a range of about... They had a very precise number at one point. In meters it's like eight meters. In feet it's about 24 feet. That's for best performance. - Nintendo's Bill Trinen
That doesn't mean you can't have more of a range than that, but you're going to get the best connection in that range.

Very good. Hope that means I can use it at around 30-35 for gamepad only stuff without too much lag.

I'm totally dry on humor on this topic. Sorry guys.
Well, at least that doesn't completely blow out the idea of playing on my toilet.
The legend becomes true... now we can play a home console while taking a poop *o* (Gamecube's waver doesn't count)
Don't you DARE play 23 feet or less from your TV
That's almost as far as a 360 controller (30 feet). Color me impressed. Awesome job Nintendo!

It seems like he's going through a hibernation so he can be up for the next 5 months.
The distance seems alright, now, what about obstructions within that distance?
Wii U, currently the only toilet-approved console XD
so the entirety of my apartment? sounds good!
8 meters is closer to 26 feet, not 24. At any rate, I'm impressed.
Well this is good to know. I'll be all over my house with that system now lol
Well now I know for sure it will work on the can.

i don't understand anything about that feet thumb business , eight meters is pretty big , if i would absolutely need more distance that would mean my place would be big , so i guess i could afford a new ac adapter to plug and un plug the wii u where it's needed .
So, that suggests I really should be able to play certain games on the GamePad while lying on my bed or in the toilet or whatever.
If it still has this kind of range, or more, and works properly though walls etc. Then Nintendo really should be hyping this as full-on unique selling point of the system.
