How to Set a Wii Remote to One

When you connect a Wii Remote to your Wii system, it will automatically assign the remote a number based on how many remotes are already connected to the device. Since some games require that controller number one be used to navigate the menu system, if the remote that is currently number one gets turned off or taken away, you may not be able to navigate through all the menu systems. To correct the problem, you will have to reconnect the Wii Remotes.
