Wii Sports is a Wii launch title developed by software development group no. 2 of Nintendo EAD. It is a game that consists of several sports games, such as tennis and boxing, which can be played using Miis that have been created on the Mii Channel.
The game makes heavy use of the Wii Remote's motion features to show off the technology, allowing players to perform in-game actions, such as swinging a tennis racket or baseball bat, in a realistic manner.
It was first released in North America in November 2006, and it was later released in all other major regions in December of that year. It was the first game since Mario's Tennis for the Virtual Boy to be bundled with a Nintendo console, being sold as a pack-in game with Wii consoles in all regions except Japan. In part because of it being a bundled game, Wii Sports has sold over 82 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling Wii title, the best-selling title for a single platform, and the fourth best-selling game of all-time.

In tennis, players use the Wii Remote to swing their character's racket. In baseball, players pitch and swing by performing said actions with the remote. In bowling, players swing the remote like a bowling ball to play. While playing golf, players swing their Wii Remote like a golf club. Finally, in boxing, players must make punching and guarding motions with both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to play.
In playing these games, players are rewarded or deducted skill points based upon their performance relative to their computer opponent. Increasing one's skill points earns the player several aesthetic features, such as a larger crowd for boxing and tennis, and a new outfit and ball for bowling.
