Wii U instruction manual photos

Scanned images of the Wii U instruction manual have leaked on the web.

Little by little, all the Wii U details are slowly leaking out. This time, the instruction manual to the console, controllers, and other hardware was posted by the guys over at Polygon. The manual shows a variety of how-to situations with the Wii U, including how to connect the Wii U console and controllers, and how to replace the battery in the GamePad (yes, it’s user replaceable!). You can find some of the manual pages below. Of course, it’ll never beat the feeling of pulling out the manual the first time you unbox the Wii U yourself.

  not a physical copy in the box.

- SideScreamer
  
  I’ll laugh for all those people who are dissing the manual, and then go to play the Wii U for the first time, and don’t know how to connect the GamePad to it.

I agree! Bring on the WiiU! I can’t wait!

  LMAO the next Xbox is going to all about Kinect, enjoy playing Microsoft Kinect sports 2 while those of who don’t hate on Nintendo’s ingenuity get ZombiU, Zelda, Metroid, Bayonetta 2 and Monster Hunter in addition to all the casual games Microsoft and Sony want like Wii fit and Wario Ware.

    “Manuals are for yellowbellies!”

  I don’t even use manuals for My IKEA flat pack furniture. But I guess that explains why everything leans and won’t open properly.

  I like to read manuals for some reason it makes me feel like I’m getting my moneys worth.
- NightºƒCore
  
  I read manuals… When I’m bored driving in the car!
  - Nintendonoob
    
    ditto I hate the instructions but for some wierd reason it feels like when I buy something I just buy it for the manual. BUT THAT WONT BE THE CASE FOR THE WII U OF COURSE!
    - NightºƒCore
      
      I only read the game instruction manuals. I never read the console ones *insert bitch please meme here*
NintendoMan :D

Do we really need to see the manual? Really? I think we can wait 8 days to see a MANUAL.
Challengerupc

The manual’s for yellow-bellies!
Ledreppe

I’ll just leave them in the plastic bag and never touch them.
Cvic

Removable battery? Hmm… maybe they can offer a battery with better life down the road kinda like the 3DS
HyrulianUtopia

I like reading the manual (well I just look at the pictures and go through it quickly) so this is kinda cool.
Elite

So from what i see, is Nintendo going to push battery packs? or are you going to have to do some RMA or ordering on nintendo.com

thejam216

If everyone’s like me, they’re soaking up every possible bit of knowledge about the Wii U before it comes out. By the time it’s released, i’m not even gonna need a manual .
Dak

If someone can explain the pointer lens as a button thing, that would be appreciated.
I has a confused
- Linskarmo
  
  Perhaps they mean you can block the signal by covering it. But it’s definitely not a button (at least in any games I’ve played.)
Linskarmo

Interesting manual!
360 FAN

Hmmmm…it should be called ” WEAK U Instruction Manual”.

Sorry,”the little n”,the WHOLE gaming is interested in the leak of the MEGA ULTRA XBOX ULTIMATE manual,which will show WHAT NEXT GEN TRULY IS:BIG HARDWARE LEAP(not little buffs),WHICH IS WHAT DEVELOPERS NEED IN ORDER TO CREATE BIGGER AND BETTER GAME EXPERIENCES,SOMETHING WEAK U WILL NOT PROVIDE.

R.I.P “NINTENDO 1889 (according to some ninfanboys) – 2013″

  I tell you one thing right now, we don’t spend a second on an Xbox forum. Why would you come here when you claim to have something so awesome? Go follow Xbox whatever they call it. Time will tell man, relax, Wii sold almost as much as both Xbox and PS3, it got to be because of something. If you say Wii U will not deliver, it will CERTAINLY won’t stop me from getting one, and play the hell out of it. Please man, grow up, go to the Xbox forum and talk all day long about Wii U and how you don’t like it, or come here and be constructive, be smart, think for a change, you might even like how thinking feels. I am sure the Xbox is a good machine, same goes for the PS3, they’re just not for me. Think about that for a minute. Stop trolling, stop being a wise ass, it gets old really fast, seriously.
- bristev
  
  Epic Games said several months ago that neither PS4 nor Xbox “720″ could run UE4….later, they said that Wii U could handle very easily UE4 (even tough UE3 is more suitable for the console)… Which words are more valid and interesting? Yours? Of a fanboy who know nothing about hardware nor software? Or Epic Games words? Who are some of todays best software developers that push hardware to the limits? I guess this questions answers for themselves…

  stfu u mentally retarded 360 douchebag wii u is far more superior console wen it comes to specs againts ps3 and 360 u got no hard facts to back up ur statement and besideds wii u is at least 80 to 100 percent more powerful then the current gen consoles and wii u is a true next gen system
Help!

Okay, I’ve been afraid of this thought ever since Wii U was announced, someone please reply. On Nintendo’s websites and all their manuals they always say, “Wii Remote Controller Plus”, but can I use a regular Wiimote not just the plus?

PLEASE REPLY
- Jray
  
  yep you can use normal wiimotes, but i would upgrade to the plus remotes because a lot more games are going to be using them now, a bunch of nintendo land minigames use the too, but i’m pretty sure your safe for now so i wouldn’t worry
Nate

I like the warning pictures in Nintendo manuals. The 3ds ones in particular were amazing!
Nintendofan4life

All I see is gimmick gimmick GIMMICK! Come on Nintendo! Quit failing! I’m sorry if but this is the truth.
- Nintendude
  
  You spelled innovation and winning wrong.
  - Nintendofan4life
    
    Sorry if you feel offended fankid but this console is 100% gimmicky! What is so special about it? Its a touchscreen??? I can touch myself anytime, anyday! So good day to you Nintendo kid.
    - Iceman404
      
      Or you could just be an ironically named idiot.
  - Dronch
    
    and quit(should be keep)
- bristev
  
  Kinect is gimmick, PS Move is a vibrator-like gimmick, the back touchpad of Vita is gimmick, the “copied-from-gamecube’s” 360 controller is gimmick, Sony All Stars Battle Royale is a gimmickly, crappy copy of Super Smash Bros., Halo’s ripped off from Metroid existence is gimmick, Twisted Metal is gimmick…. I just wanna see your face when it turns out that either MS or Sony copy the gamepad controller on their next console and you call it “innovative, a new gaming experience” or some sort of other crap like that…oh yes, back in the 90′s, the analog stick on the N64 was also a gimmick…
Rage quit

Ah sweet instruction manuals step 1 blah blah blah step 2 blahblahblah step 3 oh I can’t wait until it comes out it is making me shake and anxious aught argh I feel like i am about to burst aw I want that wiiu know
Rage quit

Any word yet on whether or not there’s an achievement/accomplishment system in place on this puppy? That’s the one piece of U News I’ve been waiting for that hasn’t been definitively addressed.
- Hibill18
  
  Actually, I’m pretty sure Nintendo has confirmed that there will definitely be an award system, but I can’t remember the official name.
- LyingTuna
  
  I am 80% sure that there is… I believe it goes by the name of accomplishments… It was reported on here a while ago, though it may be false… I doubt it is false, though. Either way, I don’t personally care, as i am not an achievement whore.
NintendoGMR95

@Grey: Yes there will be a Wii U Achievements System only it’s called “Wii U Accomplishments” where you earn certain “Points & Rewards for completing certain tasks in games; sorta like xbox live Achievements” & “PS3′s Trophy System” it will also be intagrated into the MiiVerse, so i hope this helped you.

“Man the manual looks pretty sweet can’t wait to read the manual when my Wii U arrives in the mail.
- Dronch
  
  will it fit in the mailbox?jk
