Wii Sports is a video game that was bundled with the Wii console in 2006. It is a collection of various sports games that all use a unique, innovative control scheme that demonstrates the true potential of the Wiimote. It was revealed at E3 2006. The player can use the Wii remote as a tennis racket, baseball bat, boxing glove, golf club, or even a hand to roll a bowling ball, and immerse themselves into the game while playing the sport onscreen.

As opposed to a dedicated sports game, none of the games included feature deep gameplay options. The graphics are also being kept very simple, far from Wii's full capabilities. It is also multiplayer oriented, to show how fun gaming can truly be. With the simplicity, ease of use, and pure fun of Wii Sports, Nintendo intends to attract the non-gamer crowd through Wii's innovative gameplay style.

It should also be noted that Wii Sports uses the Mii avatars you create in the Wii's main menu.

Wii Sports is bundled with the Wii (though is sold separately in Japan).

[edit] Tennis

The Wiimote is used as a tennis racket. The Wiimote is held on its side, as the handle of the racket. Player control will be automatic, and you will only control the swinging of the racket. This will handle power and spin of the hits.

[edit] Golf

The Wiimote is used as a golf club. The player holds the Wiimote like the handle of a golf club, and the motion-sensing capabilities are used to swing the club and hit the golf ball.

[edit] Baseball

The Wiimote is used as a baseball bat. Pitching will also be controlled through the Wiimote, but will be very simplistic. The bat may be held vertically to hit normally, or horizontally to bunt. Power and spin is controlled with the Wiimote. You can throw different pitches if you hold down the buttons A, B, or both of them together.

[edit] Boxing

In the game, you will face off against your opponent in a boxing game. Using both the Wiimote and the Nunchuck as fists to punch your opponent.

[edit] Bowling

A Bowling game where you and friends will swing your arm to make the bowling ball slide down the lane and hit the pins.
