How to Sync a Nintendo Wii Remote to the Console

The Nintendo Wii was released in 2006 in all countries. For previous Nintendo systems, connecting a controller involved plugging the controller into the console. Since the Wii's controllers, called Wii Remotes, are wireless, they require a different way to connect to the system. This process is called syncing, and you must sync each Wii Remote to the system before they will work.
