Wii Programming Guidelines
7.2.19 Displaying a Message Notifying the User That Battery Charge Is Low
[Recommended]
When informing the user that Wii Remote battery power is low, display either an icon or a message
such as, "The battery charge is running low."
While it is true that the user can confirm the battery charge for the Wii Remote at any time using the
Home Menu, the application might encounter problems if the battery for the Wii Remote were to
suddenly become depleted.
7.2.20 Displaying a Message Notifying Users That Wii Remote Transmissions Have
Terminated [Recommended]
Display a message such as, "Communications with the Wii Remote have been interrupted.", to inform
users when Wii Remote communications have been interrupted.
Although the user will know that the battery power has run out when the player indicator is turned off,
the application might encounter problems if the battery in the Wii Remote were to suddenly become
depleted.
Furthermore, if sudden loss of battery power is an issue, it might also be appropriate to pause the
application in addition to displaying a message.
7.3 Nintendo GameCube
7.3.1

Application Support for the Nintendo GameCube Controller [Information]

Applications do not need to support the Nintendo GameCube Controller. However, those applications
that do support the Nintendo GameCube Controller must support the items discussed in paragraphs
7.3.2 through 7.3.5.
7.3.2

Use of Origin Reset Command as Game Input Prohibited [Required]

To avoid resetting the Control Stick, R Button, L Button, and Z Button when performing actions
necessary in the application, do not create a command involving simultaneous pressing of the X
Button, Y Button, and START/PAUSE in the application.
The Nintendo GameCube Controller is designed to reset the origin for the Control Stick, R Button,
L Button, and Z Button by holding down the X Button, Y Button, and START/PAUSE simultaneously,
for 3 seconds.
7.3.3

Support for Origin Reset Command [Required]

Make sure the application will not react in an unexpected manner when the Control Stick and the
R Button, L Button, and Z Button are reset.
This is to avoid user confusion.
