The Wii U GamePad does have a limited wireless range. You won’t be able to take the controller outside and continue playing.
According to Nintendo’s Bill Trinen, the GamePad’s connectivity quality will deteriorate past eight meters, or 24 feet.
“There is. And it’s… Of course, when we’re generally giving limits on things like that, and I think the same thing can be said for the Nintendo 3DS battery life… We tend to be more conservative, because we’re looking at it from a performance perspective.
