Play Wii U for two - so it'll work

You can play many games on your Wii U in pairs or with even more friends. We'll show you how it's done.

Wii U: Playing for two on the console

• It depends on the game whether and how you can play for two on the Wii U. Many games offer a multiplayer mode that you can select from the main menu. Some games can even be played by four people using a controller.
• For additional people, you usually also need additional controllers. Either the Wii U Remote Plus or the Wii U Pro Controller come into question here. However, the Pro Controller is only required for a few games.
• The classic Wii controller is completely sufficient for most games. There is no difference between the Wii U Remote Plus and the Wii Remote Plus.
• Open the multiplayer or multiplayer mode in the game and press the plus of the controller twice. Then the controller is logged in. Repeat the step for each additional player who wants to get involved.
