Potential for toilet gaming.

inb4 don't get wii on your wii

Wiimote was said to be 10 feet, yet there's proof that it's range is actually around 400 feet. Then again the GamePad has to receive a live video feed of the game instead of just relaying motion and button input...but we'll see for ourselves what the range is once we've got our hands on it.

Not surprised, but that's a good thing. Nintendo is pretty conservative with the numbers they release. I think they said the Wavebird's range was something like 20 or 30 feet. Back in the day, I walked out into the street to test it and unless my brother has been lying to me all these years, the actual range curb stomped that estimate.

Not bad, way better than the Wii remotes, no complaints here.

For pointing with the Wiimote, I could never be more than 10 feet away, but for just using the buttons, I could be pretty far away.

Wireless Range Discussed? More like Disgust amirite?

I'm just kiddin

I want to see the range tested by video-science, Famicrew style!

That "10 feet" figure was actually only referring to the IR pointer functionality (which I can confirm first hand, IS limited to 10 feet unless you're using a more powerful third-party sensor bar). The the 400 foot range you're referring to is the Bluetooth communication range which was never claimed to be limited to 10 feet.
