Well, we should know come the 13th... Until then I'm not getting my hopes up

I don't think they will talk about "little" things like this one in that event.

I guess we'll have to wait for aditional info later on or until someone gets its hands on it and disassembles it.

Maybe it's just me... but wouldn't a wi-fi connection give you some pretty uneven latency from play session to play session?

aw c'mon man! when are we gonna hear about the specs then?!

The Specs? You won't hear anything from Nintendo, except the amount of internal memory.

For the specs of the console we'll have to wait for IBM and AMD to tell us something or, as I said, until someone disassembles one WiiU and tells us what's inside.

In an officially capacity?  Probably never.  Nintendo never revealed any clock speeds or memory size for the wii.  At least not to the press.  All info we have on the wii comes from hackers, homebrewers, and dev leaks.

EDIT: Beaten

No. Wifi Direct would automatically adjust to be outside of any interference. Its better than bluetooth and other wireless connections in the same circumstances.

A normal wireless connection in normal distances (less than 20 meters) should have a lag of less than 15 ms, so the wifi induced latency shouldn't be a problem.

Didnt we already know that we would be able to game from anywhere in the house already? lol maybe im missing something i dont know. I guess I just assumed this or something haha Anyway cant wait for the wiiU XD I dont know if ill buy it at launch or not, Pikmin and ZombiU looks great but I may wait for another big game first.

if it does use wifi i can play from the toilet
yes....
