Wii Sports

Wii Sports is a video game that consists of 4 releases


Packaged with the Nintendo Wii (excluding Japan), Wii Sports allows players to compete with friends in such sports as tennis, bowling, boxing, baseball, and golf.

Overview

Wii Sports is the pack-in for the Nintendo Wii for all regions except for Japan. It includes five sports mini-games, corresponding challenges, and a daily trainer that gives the player a score similar to the Brain Age system. It utilizes Mii's.

Wii Sports Tennis
Tennis

The player swings the Wiimote like a tennis racket, hitting a ball back and forth with a friend or a computer-controlled player. You can shoot forehand and backhand shots, and also put spin on the ball, depending on the way you swing.  Four player Vs. matches are available, and two players can play on each team.


Boxing

The player holds the Wiimote and Nunchuk like the remotes are extensions of their hands. The player must mimic the motions of blocking, punching, and jabbing. Two player Vs. matches are available.

Golf

The player mimics the swing of a golf club. The speed on the swing controls distance, as well as accuracy.  You can play with up to four players.

Wii Sports Baseball

Baseball

In baseball, the player swings the Wiimote as they would a bat. You also pitch the baseball, as you would in real life. The pitcher can choose different pitches to throw, as well as placement of the pitches. You can play with two players. 

Bowling

The bowling arm movement is mimicked with the Wiimote. You can put spin on the ball, by twisting the wii remote during the bowling motion.  One to four player games.

Updated Version

Nintendo has silently updated the Wii Sports game with minor enhancements that were found in European regions at first. This includes NPC baseball players throwing to base, a replay of a knock outs in boxing, players lining up before baseball, ect. This seems to be because the game might have shipped while not being completely finished and Nintendo assumed these updates were not really necessary to delay the release of the game and or console. The game also started coming in a plastic cases instead of the cardboard "fold-up" ones that the first Wii consoles were shipped with.

Interesting Trivia

  • Some of buttons in the game are shaped differently in other foreign copies of the game.
