Description

Wii Sports is a compilation of small sports games designed to be a showcase for the Wii's motion sensitive controller. Each game has several practice modes, and there is a Fitness Age feature to measure your daily improvement at all games.
  • Tennis: A game of doubles. Swing the remote like a racket to play.

  • Baseball: The computer automates the running and fielding. The player either pitches or bats.

  • Golf: Swing the remote like a golf club to play through the included 9 holes.

  • Bowling: Play a regular 10 frame game of bowling by swinging the remote like you're rolling a bowling ball.

  • Boxing: Punch, defend, or lean, with the remote and nunchuk used to control both in-game hands.
Rather than realistic characters, each game is played using Miis, the simple characters that can be created from within the Wii's Mii Channel.

Trivia

In 2009 it was announced that Wii Sports had officially become the biggest selling Nintendo game, outdoing Super Mario Bros. in sales in just two and a half years. This was due to the fact that the game is bundled with the console and is counted every time a console is bought. However, by the end of 2008, Japan had sold over 3.2 million copies of the game (it is not bundled with the system in Japan).
