Wii U: Automatically Select User at Startup

A single Wii U can have multiple users on a single console. If one person predominately plays the device, it makes sense to have the Wii automatically login with that specific user account. Additionally, you can adjust if the password is needed each time a user is selected.

With the Wii U, Nintendo has finally gone away from the Friend Codes. Instead, the device now uses a Nintendo Network ID.  Each user account on your Wii U console can be tied to your new Nintendo Network ID or can be just a local user.

Most Wii U devices will have a dominant player. Therefore, it makes sense to have Wii U automatically load that player when the system powers up.

This guide assumes you have already added the user to your Wii U and that you are currently using that account.

9. You will now get a confirmations screen, hit OK and your current user should automatically login and bring you to the Wii U menu.
