How to Play With Two Players on Wii Games

The Nintendo Wii transformed the way people play video games by placing them directly in the middle of the experience. Powered by motion sensor technology, the Wii remote allows players to interact with the game by physically moving their bodies to perform tasks, such as waving their arm to swing a sword or mimic a bowling motion to throw a bowling bowl. Playing with two players on the Nintendo Wii requires you to connect two Wii remotes and insert a multiplayer game.

Things You'll Need

Four AA batteries
Two Wii remotes

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the back battery cover from each Wii remote and place two AA batteries in each remote. Leave the battery cover off.
- 2
  Press the "Power" button to turn the Wii console on.
- 3
  Open the SD slot cover on the Nintendo Wii. Press the red "SYNC" button on the SD compartment and then press the red "SYNC" button below the battery slot on the back of one of the Wii remotes. An LED light on the front of the remote will blink and then stop to indicate the syncing is successful.
- 4
  Repeat the process for the second Wii remote. Reattach the battery covers after each remote is synced.
- 5
  Insert a two-player Wii game. The number of players possible for a game is printed on the back of the game box.
- 6
  Select a multiplayer game mode. Every game has a different name for its multiplayer mode, such as "Versus" for "Super Smash Brothers" or "Co-Op" for certain first-person shooters. Other games, such as Wii Sports, allow you to select additional players after you pick the sport you wish to play. Consult your game's manual for multiplayer game modes.
