Nintendo's first pack-in title in nearly over a decade is a lot of fun. Period.
A great launch title for the Nintendo Wii has proven to be Wii Sports, not only because it's fun even among non-gamers, but it comes free packaged with the Wii (except in Japan). Wii Sports isn't the most complex game, but it isn't meant to be the detailed, highly...

Video Wii Sports - What Makes It Iconic?
The legacy of a lovely family game
Wii Sports has a heck of a legacy behind it. Packaged with the Wii console at launch, it's the best-selling single-platform game of all time, as well as the fourth best-selling game ever, behind only Tetris, Gran Theft Auto V, and Minecraft. Wrap your head around that. It's no surprise, really. Being included with...
Poll Which Wii Sport Is The Best Wii Sport In Wii Sports (And Which Is The Worst)?
The oui sports and the non sports
Here's a fun little exercise: When you think of Wii Sports, which sport do you think of first? For me, it's Bowling. I got really good at lining up the ball just right to always get a strike, which is a far cry from my real-life bowling ability (which usually includes a lot of gutterballs). I only vaguely remember...
Random 'Nintendo Generation' Skeletons Aren't Tough Enough, Says US Army Major
But we played so much Wii Sports!
Are you part of the 'Nintendo Generation'? To most video game fans — even Nintendo fanatics — that term tends to apply to people who first became obsessed with the company's 8- and 16-bit output in the late '80s to mid '90s. The 'Nintendo Generation', then, are fast approaching their 40s if they haven't hit that...
About The Game
The action starts here?.Its sports night and everyone is invited.
Wii Sports offers 5 fantastic sports games each using the unique Wii remote to provide a realistic and natural feel to your gaming experience.

You can play against the compute or invite your friends for a game of doubles. Baseball grip your Wii remote like a bat to swat fastballs out of the park, or fire a fastball at your friends, with the flick of your wrist. Golf step up to the tee and grip your Wii remote like a golf club, swing naturally to smack the ball onto the green and then you'll need your putting skills. Bowling raise your Wii remote as you would a real bowling ball, and then it is all down to the speed of your swing and angle used.

The guy above me is right! if you remove the b and the o from the middle.
It is very boring.... i played my first time and thought it was boring
it's totally boring
I think it a fun game with lots of replay value
my favorite is boxing and the training challenges of boxing.

baseball 8.5/10 main 7.8/10 training
golf 5/10 main 6.7/10 training
total score 8/10 main 9.1/10 training
Wow wow wow! Take a look at the Mii in the red shirt, the one swinging a baseball bat, on the third screenshot. What is up with his ear!? Since when do Miis even have ears!?
I played this the first time I got a wii console and it's fun! I've been playing this game for about a year now.
RIP the great
All the people calling this game boring are 7 year olds who don't understand what a great game is. If I could give this a 11/10 I would. This game is one of the greatest of all time. I will never forget the hours I have spent trying to beat Matt's baseball team. That was a long, painful, two hours...
Absolutely a must have if you're just getting the Wii and are in need of particular games. While it may not seem like much, the Sports, the Miis, heck even the music and training Mini-Games are so much fun, especially with friends.
