1.1 Welcome
Congratulations on your new Starlight Fun Center mobile entertainment unit brought to you
by Starlight Children’s Foundation.
For more than 20 years, Starlight has partnered with Nintendo of America to bring the
Starlight Fun Center unit to facilities in the U.S. and Canada. We are proud of this legacy and
hope you will enjoy this mobile entertainment unit.
This Fun Center unit contains a TV, a Wii U™ console, a Wii U GamePad, a Wii Remote™ Plus,
and a Nunchuk™. It rolls bedside – or almost anywhere – to provide physical therapy
activities, distractive entertainment, or just some much-needed play time during a child’s
healing process.
The enhanced capabilities of the new Fun Center unit, powered by the Wii U from Nintendo,
include:
• Wii U GamePad
—The one-of-a-kind controller only for the Wii U.
•
Struggling to see the TV screen from the bedside? Many games and video apps.
are playable using just the screen on the Wii U GamePad!
•
Is it quiet time? Plug your headphones directly into the Wii U GamePad to enjoy all
the excitement without disturbing those around you.
• Variety of Content
•
Each Fun Center unit comes with 25 pre-installed games and plenty of hard drive
space for additional games.

Have a favorite game at home? Bring your own game discs and play them on this
Fun Center unit! The Nintendo Wii U can play both Wii U and Wii Game Discs.
•

it only takes about 5 minutes!
