Wii Sports is a sports simulation video game released for the Nintendo Wii in 2006. As a pioneering title for the console, it showcases the Wii's unique motion-sensing controls, allowing players to intuitively participate in five different sports: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. Each sport uses the Wii Remote to mimic real-life actions, such as swinging a tennis racket or rolling a bowling ball. The game is designed for players of all ages and skill levels, promoting active play and social interaction. Wii Sports falls under the casual, sports, and party game genres.
