The How to Manual That You Can
Edit
So you got yourself a Wii, congratulations! Now it is time to figure it all
out. The Wii Operations Manual will guide you through setting up the various
sensor devices and settings you can manipulate. Most of these settings are a
matter of personal preference and will not affect game play.
Steps
Once you have set up your fancy new toy, pick which game you are going to play.
Make sure that the sensor is in front of the ares where you want to be while playing.
Read the directions included with the Wii and all
gaming software to gain a general understanding of how you will be expected to
manipulate the controls.
While at first, it may be hard to remember all the controlls
of a specific game,but with practice, the motions required will become more
natural to you. Become familiar with the icons that indicate which controller
or remote you should be using.
To manipulate the controller on the screen, point the
controller to a point on the screen, and a corresponding icon will appear where
you are pointing, and you will be able to move it by simply moving the remote,
and pointing at different locations on the screen.
Tips
Try thinking carefully about what you are trying to imitate perform. You may be over exaggerating the motions inadvertently. In my experience, small motions register better than unnecessarily large ones. If you have tried and tried, and still can not quite perform the action you are going for, move the remote just slightly towards the screen at the end of the action. A movement of half to 1 inch is usually sufficient. Be sure not to block the sensor in any way. It helps to know how the Wii remote picks up motion. It can detect rotation in 3 axis directions, and speed of straight movement in 3 axis. It can also detect its position relative to your TV in 3 dimensions. Most games require you shake the controller instead of swinging it.
Warnings
Be sure to wear the attached wristband during any strenuous
play to avoid accidental remote tosses.If you have a thin wrist strap, you must
replace it with a new version of the wrist strap. The reason is because the old
version can break easily due to its poor strength. Refer to Nintendo.com to
know the old and new version of the wrist strap. When you are on Nintendo.com,
go to the customer service section and look for Important Wrist Strap
Information.All new Wiis being shipped now include a free Wii Jacket. This is a
glove like object that you slip over your Wii Remote. It protects it from
damage, and reduces the risk of injury to objects, people, or even the remote
itself! You can go to Nintendo.com to get a free one if you got your Wii before
they started doing this.
