How far can you Wii?

Bluetooth has a range of about 30 feet or so, Im not sure the range on infrared portion of the controller. Blue tooth is also very good on batteries but all the other stuff is taking a toll on it as well.

My esperiences:

You can use the bluetooth motion sensing till 10 meters away, allthough the infrared pointing will only work like 5 meters away

Dang....where do people come up with the idea that tv size affects the controls.....

nope being dead honest, we were bored when we first got it and played it for 12hrs straight, we wanted to try something new

it wasnt the best connection it took a few tries but it worked.

Cool

screen size isn't gonna affect controls/sensor ranges cuz the tv doesn't "send" info to the wii. I have the old fashion projection tv and the pointer has absolutely no lag whatsoever... On my friend's 23" LCD theres too much lag for my taste and that affects me greatly on Tanks and tennis. Gotta predict at least 1 second into the future in order to play accurately..

Actually heres a youtube video of bowling from more than 400 feet away...

But idk might be fake might not be as you can see theres nothing in between him and the wii just thin air...

Yeah I think it's fake because the bowler was fixing his curve and stuff from 400 feet away, I doubt he'd be able to see that..
But Nice Find

I went 50 feet away, and my Wii still worked.

if the wii is "high-powered" it could go up to 100 ft. or so.

What does "high-powered" mean and what is the procedure to enable this function on the Nintendo Wii sensor bar?

If im playing Wii sports and i need to go smoke, i can take it out on my Deck and smoke and still bowl a strike. almost 30 feet i would say

WiiZero · 04-29-2007, 12:14 AM

Motion-Sensing is ten buttons are like 40

We played an entire game of Wii Bowling with just the sound yeah we play so much we know what the souns mean Strike etc. and my friend got a clean game with no screen

Edit: whoever tried to rep me, it's called satire....and sign your name next time.

I sold my Wii because my maximum range was ten feet before the cursor went away on the Wii menu. I just bought a new one and its exactly the same! I have to play ten feet away because I have a big television and it looks bad up close.

Does anyone know about making high-powered sensor bars or something?

Brawny · 05-23-2007, 03:54 AM

just google it. or SEARCH for a wireless sensor bar thread. you will find sources for diy ones.
