How to Set Up Players on a Wii

Long gone are the days when you only had Mario and Luigi to choose from as a Nintendo character to play. Most video games now let you create your own characters, from online gaming to Sony's PlayStation to Microsoft's Xbox and, of course, Nintendo's Wii. The fun in making the characters, called Miis for the Wii system, is to make it look as much like yourself as possible. Some people even choose to create Miis resembling their favorite celebrity, with many online sites devoted to showing how to do just that.

Instructions

  Select the Mii Channel of the main screen of the gaming system by hovering the Wii Remote pointer over it and pressing the "A" button. Choose to make the Mii male or female in the same manner.

  Press "A" to select each characteristic shown on the icons at the top of the screen to choose individual features--hair and face, including colors and tones. Select each icon the same way and use the arrows on screen to scroll through each feature, pressing "A" when the correct feature is highlighted.

  Choose any accessories, such as a mustache, beauty mark or glasses, to put on the Mii by highlighting the one you want and press "A."
