Game Instruction Manuals

Nintendo offers downloadable manuals for select Wii, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance games. In order for the manual to be available, the game must be published by Nintendo. All game manuals are in .PDF format, and are typically in English (although some may be bi and tri-lingual where indicated).

Please note: We can only provide manuals for games published by Nintendo. If you are not sure which company published your game, you can use our Master Games List to search for it. If you determine your game was not published by Nintendo, but by a licensee company, use our licensee list to see if any contact information is available for that company.
