Wii® from Nintendo |
From the main Wii Menu, using the cursor and the A Button on the Wii Remote controller, select "Wii Options" followed by "Wii Settings." Click on the blue arrow to the right to reach the "Wii System Settings 2" menu options.
Choose "Parental Controls" and select "Yes."
Create a 4-digit PIN and select "OK." You will be prompted to select a secret question to be used if you forget the PIN number. Once done, select "OK."
-
Select "Game Settings and PIN." Now you can select the "Highest Game Rating Allowed" on the Wii console. Once selected, press "OK," "Confirm," and "Settings Complete."
You can also use "Parental Control" to:
- Prevent use of "Wii Points" in the "Wii Shop Channel" where games can be purchased
- Restrict online user-to-user communication and the exchange of user-generated content
- Block use of the "Internet Channel" and/or "News Channel"
Other tips:
- If your child wants to play online with a friend, they must exchange and store each other's Wii number with their Mii name in their respective Address Books. Your own Wii console number can be found in the "Address Book"
