    Note

    If you are doing a manual installation (not using the Nintendo Dev Interface) keep these in mind:

    • For Unity 5.2 and earlier versions, the download package contains two EXE files: an editor and a support patch. You must install both.
    • For Unity 5.3 and later versions, Unity for Wii U uses the public version of the editor, however be sure your Unity version matches the Unity for Wii U patch version exactly.
