The Wii U hardware development team is aware that the first thing most people will do with their WiiPads is see how far they will work away from the console, inside their homes. The WiiPad's radio waves need a clear line of travel to the Wii U to work properly, meaning even things such as walls and holding it vertically posed a problem for the team. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata describes the vertical issue himself during the latest Iwata Asks:
"To address why holding it vertically may have been an issue, is because radio waves don't spread well underwater, but the human body is 60 to 70 percent water, so it can interfere with radio wave paths. Since you hold it both vertically and horizontally, it gets more difficult to place the antenna where the radio waves can easily reach it."
The Product Development department at Nintendo had to deal with this problem, as well as the wall issue. Of course, the team says, working through walls depends entirely on what materials those partitions are made out of. Other factors, such as placing the Wii U on a metal surface, can reduce the WiiPad's range.
One question the team got was if people will be able to use the WiiPad in the bathroom, and for the answer we have anecdotal evidence from Product Development member Toru Yamashita. "By the way, my living room and bathroom are separated by a single wall and I was able to use it."

EB Games Australia has listed a 'SNES Version' Wii U Pro Controller on its website, set to launch alongside the Wii U.
 This retro themed Wii U controller looks like the Pro Controller, with a SNES controller stuck in the middle, under the analogue sticks.EB Games has the controller listed for $48 which is $30 cheaper than the standard Pro Controller, but this SNES version is from a third party, not from Nintendo.
The controller looks cool, but as we don't know much about it, it would be wise to try and check it out before buying.
So far it looks like the only place to get this retro style controller is from EB Games Australia.

Captain Falcon's Twister Race is a single-player attraction in which users hold the narrow end of the Wii U GamePad upright with both hands to guide a high-speed wind-up vehicle toward the finish line.Octopus Dance is a single-player, rhythm-based attraction also using the Wii U GamePad. Players must instantly memorise the movement of the character on screen and re-enact the poses using the control sticks or gyro sensor.
Finally, Yoshi's Fruit Cart is a brain-teasing single-player attraction in which players guide Yoshi's cart towards the goal while collecting fruit, which is visible on the TV but not on the GamePad.
Last month Nintendo confirmed a European Wii U release date of November 30.
The Wii U Premium bundle features a 32GB storage capacity, Wii U GamePad charging stand, Wii U GamePad playing stand, Wii U stand and Nintendo Land.
Nintendo has also confirmed a list of Wii U launch games, which includes New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, ZombiU, FIFA 13 and Epic Mickey 2.

Pikmin 3 is scheduled for release on Wii U in the spring of 2013, according to the latest Iwata Asks Q&A.
 Traditionally spring has started on the night of March 20/21, although the Met Office classes the first day of spring as March 1.The platform holder previously confirmed plans to release Pikmin 3 during the Wii U launch window, a period it defined as beginning on November 18, 2012 and ending on March 31, 2013.
Assuming we go by the traditional spring dates and Pikmin 3 doesn't miss Wii U's launch window, the game will release on Tuesday March 26, 2013 in the US and three days later in the UK.
Check out the latest batch of Pikmin 3 screenshots.
Nintendo has confirmed a Wii U release date of November 18 in the US, and a Wii U release date of November 30 in Europe. The company has set the US Wii U price at $299 for the basic model, while the UK Wii U price starts at £230.

The Wii U version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 won't support Call of Duty Elitewhen the game releases.
 An Activision spokesperson told Kotaku: "We are currently evaluating options for Call of Duty Elite to support Nintendo's Wii U game system, however Call of Duty Elite for Call of Duty: Black Ops II will not support this platform when the game launches on November 13."The news arrives just days after Activision admitted it's possible that the Wii U version of the shooter won't support DLC.
On Monday the company told CVG that it's "working with Nintendo on the possibility of releasing the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 DLC Map Packs and the DLC Season Pass for this new gaming platform".
Activision has reworked the CoD Elite service, which will no longer feature separate premium and free tiers. Instead, all service features will now be free to all, with additional game content to be delivered in four separate packages, which are available to pre-purchase with the Black Ops 2 DLC Season Pass.

The Wii U can wirelessly stream data to the touchscreen GamePad controller with just a 1/60th of a second latency.That's according to Rayman creator Michel Ancel, who is developing 2D platformer Rayaman Legends for the console.Such a small amount of lag logically means that a game running in 60fps will lag by just one frame per second. It is a "crazy" achievement, Ancel said."It's crazy because the game is running in full HD [on the television], we are streaming another picture on the GamePad screen, and it's still 60 frames per second. And the latency on the controller is just 1/60 of a second, so it's one frame late. It's crazy, it's so fast," Ancel told Nintendo Power magazine (via Nintendo Everything). "It's almost instant. That's why it responds so well. So it can be used as a real game-design thing.""This is where Nintendo is really out in front of things," he continued. "The technology inside the controller is quite a bit more advanced than what people might think. It's really responsive. The response time is crazy, in fact, and I think the competitors will need some time to [get their solutions] this responsive."Digital Foundry previously investigated the Wii U GamePad's latency and found it (while wired to the console at a demonstration event) to be seven frames faster than the attached HDTV."Most HDTVs come with a lot of lag as standard," DF chief Richard Leadbetter explained. "Seven frames is absolutely obscene, three or four is more common."Cheap PC monitors are pretty decent these days: they lag by one or two frames, but HDTVs are still using a lot of post-processing technologies, meaning lag is greater."Digital Foundry will be validating these claims once and for all in a detailed hardware review around the console's launch.

The Wii U Pro Controller battery "can last up to 80 hours on a single charge", US retailers GameStop and Amazon have claimed on their websites.
 "Your games, your way. However you think of your gaming style - hardcore, old school, or purely nostalgic - the Wii U Pro Controller puts you in the game," reads the official description for the controller."Designed for accessibility and extended gameplay comfort, the Wii U Pro Controller features the dual analog sticks and ergonomic button layout that you've come to expect, as well as a rechargeable battery that can last up to 80 hours on a single charge.
"The Wii U Pro Controller can be used for playing a variety of games - from packaged games at retail to downloadable games from the Nintendo eShop. Look on the back of Wii U game packaging to see which games use the Wii U Pro Controller. Not compatible with the Wii system or games."
By comparison a fully charged Wii U GamePad will last for 3-5 hours, according to comments made by Nintendo of Japan in June. The Xbox 360 controller battery lasts for roughly 25 hours, while the PS3 pad has about 20 hours worth of charge time in it.
Nintendo hasn't confirmed if the Pro Controller figure is accurate, but we've contacted the company for clarification.
Ubisoft's Michel Ancel, who is developing Rayman Legends for Wii U, said this week that the Wii U GamePad has no latency issues.

Club Nintendo is now offering the original Pilotwings. For 100 Club Nintendo coins, Wii owners can download the SNES classic, which combines elements of arcade gameplay with simulation-style flying mechanics – wait, you've never heard of Pilotwings? Well, congratulations on making us feel old.
If you're not a Club Nintendo member, you can pick up Pilotwings on the Wii Virtual Console for 800 Wii Points ($8). To redeem your Club Nintendo copy, head to the Club Nintendo site through the source link below and drop the 100 coins for a download ticket. You'll want to do so before October 28, 2012 – after that, it'll no longer be a Club Nintendo reward.

We’ve seen NES, SNES, Sega, and just about every weird controller Atari put out connected to microcontrollers, but connecting the N64 controller to a project has remained one of those seldom-seen, rarely copied endeavors, not often tackled by makers around the globe. [Pieter-Jan] decided to throw his hat in the ring and givereading an N64 controller with a PIC a try, and we’re pleased to report he’s been completely successful.
One of the difficulties of reading an N64 controller is simply the speeds involved; with only three pins on the controller port, the N64 controller uses a serial protocol to send 32 bits of controller data at a fairly fast rate. Armed with a PIC18F ‘micro, [Pieter] realized that programming in C would be too slow, he needed to go all the way down to the bare metal and program his micro in assembly.
Every time the N64 controller data needs to be read, the console sends out a 9-bit polling request. The controller responds in turn with a 32-bit sequence informing the console of the status of all the buttons and joysticks. Once [Pieter] got his micro sending the correct polling response, it was only an issue of parsing the data returned from the controller.
Right now, [Pieter] has a small demo board rigged up that flashes a LED whenever the A, B, or Z buttons are pressed. This can be expanded to the remaining buttons and joystick, but for now we’ll just enjoy [Pieter]‘s demo after the break.

No decision has yet been made on whether or not the Wii U version of Call of Duty: Black Ops II will offer the new Season Pass.
Activision announced yesterday that it was scrapping subscription charges for its CoD-based social network Call of Duty: Elite. Instead it will now offer players the chance to sing up to a Season Pass.
However, it has not yet decided whether or not Season Pass will be offered to Nintendo gamers, though the publisher remains hopeful.
A representative told CVG that the company is "working with Nintendo on the possibility of releasing the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 DLC Map Packs and the DLC Season Pass for this new gaming platform".
Nintendo has stepped up its digital game of late, offering its first ever Mario DLC in the shape of new levels of New Super Bros 2. However – as always – it looks like things are going to be more complicated for third parties.
