Mii Channel

Wii Menu

Making Your First Mii

Selecting the Mii Channel from the Wii Menu

Use the Wii Remote Plus to select the Mii Channel, then select START to begin creating your ﬁrst Mii. (This Channel is controlled by one remote at a time. )

Creating Your Mii

First select Male or Female. You’ll then see a starter face that you can change, along with a style menu. Go through the following steps to make your Mii.

Select a gender.

To select an on-screen option, simply point at it with the Wii Remote Plus and press the A Button.

Change your Mii characters’ face shape, hair color, and skin tone.

Fine-tune your Mii characters’ face. Change its eyes, brows, nose, and mouth, and even add glasses and accessories.

Finally, tailor your Mii characters’ proportions however you like.

You’ve designed your ﬁrst Mii! After you give it a few personal proﬁle details like a Nickname (see page 10), you’re completely ﬁnished!

Design an endless

variety of Mii characters!

What Are Mii characters For?

• You can choose one of your Mii characters to be “you” in Mii-compatible games.

• You can store up to 100 Mii characters in your Mii Plaza (see page 11).

• You can carry Mii characters in your Wii Remote Plus to exchange them with Mii characters in friends’ Wii consoles (see page 12). Yours will then appear in their games. And vice versa!

• You can also exchange Mii characters with friends around the world via WiiConnect24™ and the Mii Parade (see page 13).

Mii Channel

Selecting the Mii Channel from the Wii Menu

Use the Wii Remote Plus to select the Mii Channel, then select Start to enter Mii Plaza (see page 11).

Select the New Mii icon on the left side of the screen:

Select Male or Female. Then if you’ve created a Mii previously, you’ll see two Mii start-up options: “Start from scratch” or “Choose a look-alike.”

Starting from Scratch

If you select “Start from scratch,” you’ll instantly be given a basic starter face, then you’ll ﬁne-tune all of its features, just as you did with your ﬁrst Mii.

Choosing a Look-alike

Select “Choose a look-alike” if you want to get a Mii designed very quickly. You’ll be shown a wide variety of starter faces that show a spectrum of Mii looks.

When you ﬁnd a face you like, select “Use this face” to move onto the Feature Edit screen, where you can ﬁne-tune the face if you prefer.

If you ﬁnd one that’s close but not quite right, select it and you’ll see many variations on the face. You can use this method repeatedly to get closer and closer to the exact face that you want (as shown to the right). Select “Use this face” when you see the exact Mii face you want.

Mii characters that you create walk around in Mii Plaza. You can go to Mii Plaza to check out your Mii characters, edit and create Mii characters, prepare Mii characters for going to other Wii consoles, and do other useful things with your home Mii crowd.

You can turn Screen Burn-in Reduction on or off by making your selection, then conﬁrming it.

• Your TV may also have its own screen burn-in reduction function that may fade back the screen imagery or darken it entirely.

• The Wii system’s Screen Burn-in Reduction does not work for all types of software, so it is recommended that the television be turned off when not playing.

• Please follow your TV manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid screen burn-in.

Wii Parental Controls

The Wii Parental Controls settings offer you a means to manage what Wii content is accessible to the console users. If you apply Parental Controls, you will be prompted to set a 4-digit PIN which will allow you to adjust the Parental Controls settings in the future and also allow you to access content that may be restricted by the Parental Controls settings. The Parental Controls default setting is “OFF” which means that the console will allow all content unless you change the settings. There is one Parental Controls setting per console so you should tailor the settings to lowest common denominator and share the PIN with users who may be allowed access to blocked content.

To customize the settings, click the Wii icon from the Wii Menu and select Wii Settings, then select Parental Controls. These are the features that are offered within Parental Controls:

Important Privacy Information

Through your Wii console you will be able to participate in a variety of games and activities, some of which will be online. In order to protect your privacy and that of your family when using your Wii console, we strongly recommend the following:

PARENTS PLEASE READ: PROTECTING YOUR

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

• Before allowing your children to use the Wii console, we highly recommend that you educate them on the importance of not sharing any personal information about themselves with strangers. Please carefully review the next section titled “Protecting the Privacy of Your Personal Information When Using the Wii Console” and discuss it with your children to help them understand steps they can take to protect the privacy of their personal information. Explain to them the danger of receiving messages from, or communicating with, strangers.

• You should supervise your children’s use of the Wii console at all times and assist them with the setup of the Wii console. If at any time you want to stop your children’s use of online or interactive features of the Wii console, you can simply disconnect your Wii console from the Wii online services as explained on page 48.

PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF YOUR PERSONAL

INFORMATION WHEN USING THE Wii CONSOLE

• Never give out personal information about yourself such as your ﬁrst or last name, phone number, birth date, age, school, e-mail or home address when communicating with strangers or using any services offered on your Wii console.

• You may have the option of linking your Wii Shop Channel account to your My Nintendo account. By linking your accounts, you will be able to register downloaded content and have such registrations reﬂected in both of your accounts. In addition, Nintendo will be able to connect your activity on your Wii Shop Channel and other online features of the Wii console to your My Nintendo Account and send you offers, surveys and promotions for games or other items you are interested in. If you do not want Nintendo to be able to do this, do not link your accounts.

• If you use the messaging features of the Wii console, you need to understand that Nintendo may monitor your use and share certain information (i) as required by law, (ii) where necessary to protect the company, its customers or employees, or (iii) as necessary to provide the services.

• If you decide to provide personal information to any third party website, the sharing of such information will be subject to the privacy policy of that company, not Nintendo’s privacy policy. Be cautious before providing any personal information to any third party through the online services offered on your Wii console.

• Your Wii console may store certain personal information on your Wii Remote Plus so please note that by using your Wii Remote Plus on a Wii console other than your own, it is possible that certain personal information about you could be shared with that other Wii console.

• For your protection, prior to selling or transferring your Wii console, please be sure to clean and securely remove all of your personal information including any pictures or messages on the message board and all other stored sensitive information on the Wii console hard drive. For information on how to wipe your Wii console clean of all such information, see page 63.

• Do not use any personal information for nicknames on the Wii Console, user names in chat rooms or interactive games, names for Miis or for any other services offered through the Wii Console.

Video and Computer Game Software Rating Information

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide information about video and computer game content, so you can make informed purchasing decisions. ESRB ratings have two parts: rating symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game, and content descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern.

To take full advantage of the ESRB rating system, it’s important to check both the rating symbol (found on the front of the game box) and the content descriptor (found on the back of the game box). Go to www.esrb.org for a complete list of these content descriptors.

The ESRB rating system is designed to provide information about a computer or video game. The ratings are not meant to recommend which games consumers should buy or rent or to serve as the only basis for choosing a product. Rather, individuals should use the ESRB ratings together with personal tastes and standards when deciding what is best to purchase.

For more information on the ESRB and video game ratings, go to the ESRB web site at www.esrb.org.

Use this feature to adjust the sensitivity of the Pointer function of the Wii Remote Plus. If you ﬁnd that you’re not getting an optimal pointing experience with the Wii Remote Plus, you may want to adjust this setting.

After you select Sensitivity from the Sensor Bar settings screen, you’ll see an explanation screen that further details the Sensitivity setting. Select OK to begin the adjustment test.

In the test, you’ll use the Wii Remote Plus Pointer to move a cursor into view within the test ﬁeld. If you see two blinking dots, your current Sensitivity setting is working ﬁne. If you don’t see two blinking dots, adjust the Sensitivity with the + and - Buttons until you do, then press the A Button to conﬁrm your new setting.

• If you see three or more dots, the Wii Remote Plus may be sensing an extra light source. See Wii Remote Plus troubleshooting, page 34, in the Wii Operations Manual - System Setup.

NOTE: The initial recommended distance for using the Wii Remote Plus Pointer is 3 to 10 feet from the Sensor Bar. By increasing the Sensitivity setting, you’ll increase the distance at which you can use the Pointer. Also note that the inﬂuence of direct sunlight and various light sources can make the Pointer operation less optimal.

Internet

You’ll want to set up your Wii’s Internet settings to work well with your home’s Internet connection, whether you have a wireless broadband network or want to connect directly to your wired LAN network.

These errors indicate a hardware issue. Please contact Nintendo Consumer Service at 1-800-255-3700 for assistance.

These errors generally indicate the inability to get a good connection due to wireless interference. Try the following:

• Check the location of your router. Move your router away from walls and off the ﬂoor and try to place it in a central location in your home. Also, keep it away from metal objects such as metal ﬁling cabinets which can cause interference.

• Do not use other wireless or cordless devices when trying to get online with your Wii. Also, avoid electronics that use the 2.4GHz frequency, instead look for devices that use the 5.8GHz or 900MHz frequencies.

• Change the channel on your router. By default most routers broadcast on channel 6. Change the channel setting to 1 or 11, as they do not overlap with other channels.

• If you have security on your router, verify that the WEP or WPA key that was entered into your Wii matches the router’s information exactly.

• Change the mode on the router to “mixed” or “b/g” mode. This is generally found in the “Wireless” section of your router’s settings.

These errors generally indicate a ﬁrewall on your PC or router is preventing the Wii from connecting to the internet. Try the following:

• Disable your ﬁrewall. If you are using a Netgear router, disable the “SPI Firewall” under the “WAN Setup” of your router.

• Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) prevent systems from connecting. Check with your ISP to see if they are compatible.

Errors in this range generally indicate the router in your setup has a default IP address of either 192.168.0.1 or

192.168.1.1. This will need to be changed to 192.168.2.1.

These errors indicate a problem with the Internet Settings entered into the Wii. Try the following:

• Use the Manual Settings (rather than Search for an Access Point) to set up your Internet Settings on the Wii. Manually enter the DNS settings of your PC or Router into your Wii when requested.
