Wii Sports is a 2006
Wii Sports is a collection of five sports simulations designed to demonstrate the motion-sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote. The five sports included are tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. Players use the Wii Remote to mimic actions performed in real-life sports, such as swinging a tennis racket or rolling a bowling ball.[1] The rules for each game are simplified to make them more accessible to new players. The game also features training and fitness modes that monitor players' progress in the sports.[2]
Wii Sports was well-received by critics and audiences, and is considered one of the greatest games of all time.[3] It was also a commercial success, selling 82 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling Nintendo video game, as well as the fourth-best-selling video game of all time and the best-selling game exclusive to one console.[3] It has been featured on television in Wii commercials, news reports, and other programming.[4][5][6][7] The game has become a popular means for social gatherings and competitions among players of varying ages.[5][8][9]
In 2009, a sequel, Wii Sports Resort, was released. A high-definition remake of Wii Sports titled Wii Sports Club was released in 2014 for the Wii U. Another sequel, Nintendo Switch Sports, was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2022.

After a game, a player is awarded or penalized skill points based on performance relative to the computer's skill level, though some games do not calculate points during multiplayer sessions. The game keeps track of these points by charting them on a graph, as well as increasing the size of the crowd in Tennis and Boxing single-player modes. After obtaining 1000 skill points in a sport, a player is awarded a "pro" level, along with a cosmetic feature for their Mii in Bowling and Boxing. A Mii newly turned pro will receive a message on the

Wii Sports received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[27] GameTrailers called it a good complement to the Wii console and referred to all five games as a "nice total package". They commented that the games provided enough gameplay for long time gamers without making it inaccessible to novices. GameTrailers stated, however, that the lack of a tournament mode was a detractor, and did not recommend paying for the game if it did not come bundled with the system.[11] GamePro also commented that the free addition of the game with the Wii was a positive.[1] Matt Casamassina of IGN called it a "successful showpiece for Nintendo's new hardware" and enjoyed the ability to import Miis.[10] GameSpot editor Ryan Davis complimented the multiplayer aspect and the fitness test.[48] Reviewers praised the game's controls and ease of use. Casamassina referred to the controls as "revolutionary" and described them as intuitive.[10] GamePro echoed similar comments, praising the ease of play and realistic motion controls, while Davis commented that the motion controls were sometimes erratic.[1][48] Common criticism focused on the graphics and lack of depth in the separate games. Casamassina stated that the game "comes up short in depth and visuals", and called the graphics "generic" and "archaic".[10] Other reviewers said the graphics were on par with Nintendo's older gaming systems, the GameCube and Nintendo 64.[1][11] Davis criticized the oversimplified nature of the games, and GamePro stated that the separate games offered less depth than regular console sports games.[1][48] Nintendo Power listed Wii Sports along with its sequel, Wii Sports Resort, as two of the greatest multiplayer experiences in Nintendo's history, stating that everyone from young children to grandparents can enjoy the games. The magazine praised the grouping of sports and the game's longevity.[49] In 2009, Official Nintendo Magazine said the game was "Responsible for the biggest turn-around the console wars has ever seen", placing it 21st on a list of the greatest Nintendo games.[50] In 2019, the game was ranked 28th on The Guardian newspaper's The 50 Best Video Games of the 21st Century list.[51]
The separate games garnered their own reception among critics. Casamassina called bowling, tennis, and baseball "fun and addictive", while Tom Bramwell of

Impact
Wii Sports, a major factor in the Wii's worldwide success,
After the Wii's release, players began incurring injuries while playing Wii Sports, among other games, when they accidentally hit other players or objects while swinging the Wii Remote.[5] This string of accidents, and others related to players throwing the Wii Remote while playing Wii Sports, prompted Nintendo president Satoru Iwata to develop a campaign to reduce such incidents.[95] In regard to the issue, Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa commented, "People tended to get a bit excited, especially while playing the game, and in some cases the remote would come loose from their hands." Nintendo responded by offering replacement Wii Remote wrist straps that were almost twice as thick.[96] Other injuries include muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries from excess playing of simulated sports on the Wii—dubbed "Wii-itis".[97][98]
Wii Sports has become a popular means for social gatherings and competitions. Residents at senior centers and retirement homes have formed leagues using Wii Sports bowling.[8][99] After its Australian release, Nintendo and Myer, an Australian department store chain, held a Wii Sports tennis tournament in January 2007 in Melbourne, Australia.[9] The winners competed against professional tennis players Pat Cash and Mark Woodforde, and were awarded new Wiis.[100] An unofficial Wii Sports tennis tournament titled "Wiimbledon" was held in the Brooklyn, New York bar Barcade on June 23, 2007.[101] It featured 128 competitors, many of whom were dressed in costumes.[5][102]
Wii Sports has been featured on television multiple times. It was seen in commercials for the Wii console,

Versions
There exist multiple versions of Wii Sports. The 1.0 exclusively sold in North America during the first nine months of the game release is different from the 1.1 version that was sold later which contains additionals cutscenes. The 1.0 version is sought after by speedrunners due to its fastest completion time thanks to the absence of the aforementioned cutscenes.[115]
A 1.2 version also exists and is present on the Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort 2-in-1 disc but its only difference with the 1.1 version is the date on the title screen.[116]

Wii Sports Club
On September 18, 2013, Nintendo announced Wii Sports Club for the Wii U Nintendo eShop. The game features the five games of Wii Sports remade in high-definition graphics, with support for the Wii MotionPlus (similar to Wii Sports Resort) and online multiplayer. The game uses a "Club" system, in which players are registered to regional or national clubs, communicating with each other via Miiverse, and compete against other clubs for rankings. After a 24-hour free trial period, players can purchase a day pass to access all of the games, or purchase full access to the individual games. Tennis and Bowling were first released on October 30, 2013,[125][126] golf was first released on December 18, 2013[127] and Baseball and Boxing were first released at the end of June 2014.[128][129] A retail version of Wii Sports Club was released in July 2014.[130][131]
