    This game sold over 80 million copies and is the reason the Wii sold over 100 million units and won it's generation. It's the definition of a killer app/excellent launch title, showing everything about the new technology that it can. That, and it's a fun game.

    What was originally supposed to be a simple showcase on Nintendo Wii motion capabilities, ended up becoming a well-made game with tons of replay value. Dust off your old Wii and invite your friends over; relive 2006 all over again!

    Wii sports was a big part of my childhood and I remember creating a ton of Miis when I was like 9 while playing both Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort simultaneously. I feel like Wii Sports Resort is superior to the original just because it has more variety of sports, but Wii Sports is still an enjoyable game and could impress your kid too.

    Giving this anything less than a 10 would be a travesty to my past self. While I do think that nostalgia certainly improves my review by a large portion, it was a pretty straight forward game in which you could have fun with friends and family. I don't think it's possible to hate, its classic charm and nostalgia forces me to give this a 10

    Revolutionary for its time but nothing special anymore today.

    Wii Sports was the launch title of the Wii and, just like other launch titles for new consoles, it was revolutionary and mind blowing.

    In its core, it just a collection of generic sport games that you play with the Wii remote controller. It worked perfectly however, and playing tennis or bowling felt responsive and fun. It just was a unique experience.

    You can play golf, boxing, baseball, tennis and bowling. Each game requires you to wiggle your Wii mote at a certain speed to increase velocity of your throw or hit and in the boxing matches, you wiggle the Wii mote left and right to make sideway punches.

    The boxing game was my favorite and I still respect how well it works. You character is see-through, making it easy to see and focus on your opponent. The health meters are a little vague and ghost all of the time in your screen, but it works fine overall.

    The graphics are ugly. Even back then, when the Wii was the newest console, the limitations on the console and the “unique” art style of the Nintendo games other than Mario, were immediately visible. The art style itself is cartoonish and jolly, but even then, the facial expressions, the outlines and animations are stiff and look like a tech demo from 2002. The Wii taught me that graphics aren’t anything, but it also taught me that you can drop graphical quality just because your company is called Nintendo, and everyone is fine with it. This reputation was fixed however, with the Nintendo Switch.

    You make a special character called a Mii, which represents yourself throughout all the sports games and can also be used in other Wii games. There are limited customization options and nine times out of ten, the Mii does not look anything like you. This is mainly because of the God awful graphics that the game (and the Wii in general) offers and the facial expressions that are dug up from the pits of Hel and stare directly into your soul.

    One downside of Wii Sports became quickly noticeable back then and to this day. The mechanics are easily exploitable, making the games ridiculously easy and pointless really quick.

    For example, when playing tennis, bounce the ball a few times and let it be tossed back to the right side of the field, just over the net. When giving a good wank on the Wii mote, you instantly fire a unstoppable bullet to the left side of the playing field, scoring every time. The same goes for bowling; a slight tap to the right of the lane and a slight turn to the left, and then throw the ball at full speed, guaranteeing a strike every time. With boxing, just hit left and right and your opponent (or at least a CPU opponent) does not stand a chance.

    The games themselves become repetitive as well. There is no variation in terms of different stages, different modes for a certain sports game or anything. Although still fine, after a few hours you are kind of done with it.

    Like mentioned, Wii Sports is an ancient relic today, but I still cherish the memory of back then, when I first played it. It is one of those games that you can play anytime on a party or with friends with a couple of beers and never bores.

    Definitely recommend this blast from the past.    … Expand

The controls of this game worked really well for the most part, with a few minor exceptions like golf and sometimes boxing. This was where the concept of motion controls originated, and people bash them too much for no good reason. There’s also the training mode with a bunch of fun little minigames, a few for each sport. And you gotta love Matt for the memes! This game is a timeless classic and for what it is, a tech demo, it’s a really good one!… Expand

    Quite possibly the best tech demo of all time! There are only six sports but there is still so much to do! The theme song is so good and super iconic, plus all of the sports work perfectly fine even with standard Wii motion. Although Resort is superior in basically every way, this game is still worth it even today!

    It worked perfectly with the Wii controllers, and had smooth and fun gameplay in every game, being very striking, and making you spend hours on end with friends and family playing. It's just not perfect because has few sports options, and ends up becoming a much simpler version of the Wii Sports Resort.

    Przed rozpoczęciem gry pojawia się okienko    Wii Sports jest zestawem pięciu gier sportowych: tenisa ziemnego, kręgli, golfa, baseball’u oraz boksu. Po włączeniu płyty od razu pojawia się menu, z którego do wyboru mamy wspomnianych pięć dyscyplin, oraz dwa dodatkowe okienka Training i Wii Fitness. Nie ma żadnych innych opcji – wszystko jest proste, czytelne i łatwe do opanowania.

    Przed rozpoczęciem gry pojawia się okienko informujące nas, abyśmy upewnili się, czy wokół nie ma żadnych obiektów i ludzi, o których moglibyśmy zahaczyć wykonując wymachy Wii Remote. Dla pewności warto również założyć sobie na nadgarstek smyczkę, aby przypadkiem nie wyrzucić kontrolera z rąk.

    Na wstępie rozpoczynając zabawę z Wii Sports radziłbym wybrać trening, z którego możemy nauczyć się podstawowych technik, a przy okazji pobawić się w pobijanie własnych rekordów w mini gierkach treningowych.

    Wii Fitness – to codzienna dawka sportu (w minimalnej oprawie). Gra raz dziennie pozwala nam się włączyć i zagrać w zestaw trzech losowo dobranych „mini-gierek” dostępnych z treningów. Po wykonaniu zadania podliczana jest nasza wytrzymałość, prędkość i balans, co na wykresie pozwala określić wiek (skala), który jest naszym wynikiem. Czy daje to coś więcej, niż przyzwyczajenia gracza do codziennego odpalania Wii Sports? Tego nie wiem, ja dałem się w to jednak wkręcić.

    Przejdźmy jednak do meritum, tzn. dyscyplin sportowych które stanowią trzon tego produktu. Na początku każda z nich nakazuje wybór swojego Mii, którym będziemy sterowali, a później, określenie czy dany Mii-ludek jest prawo, czy leworęczny.

    W tenisie odbijamy piłeczkę robiąc wymach tak, jakbyśmy rzeczywiście trzymali w ręku rakietę. Nie musimy wciskać żadnych przycisków, cała reszta to relaksujące „machanie”, a nasz tenisista biega sam po korcie za piłeczką. Napisać należy, że zawsze gra się w deblu (z kolegą lub z konsolą), wybrać możemy jednak czy chcemy stać bliżej siatki, czy na końcu kortu. Kręgle są już bardziej złożone, bo mamy możliwość ustawienia się z lewej lub prawej strony toru, a także ustawienie lekkiego kąta rzutu kulą. Ruch jaki będziemy musieli wykonać jest identyczny jak ten, który należy wykonać w rzeczywistości. Baseball (najbardziej chyba uproszczona z dyscyplin: rzucamy, lub odbijamy piłeczkę – cała reszta to szybkie zajmowanie baz przez Mii odbywające się automatycznie). Golf, tak samo jak tenis jest równie przyjemny i relaksujący . Nasze uderzenie powinno uwzględniać kierunek i prędkość wiatru, wysokość położenia dołka względem naszej pozycji, kąt nachylenia nawierzchni, siłę uderzenia i miejsce z którego wybijamy piłeczkę (np. piasek lub wysoka trawa). Ostatnia z dyscyplin, boks jest jedyną, która wykorzystuje Nunchuk, i zarazem jedyną, która naprawdę pozwala się zmęczyć. Nasze ruchy to uniki, bloki i uderzenia wykonywane przez odpowiednie wymachy rękoma.

    Wszystkie pięć gier w tym zestawie mierzy nasze umiejętności i w zależności czy wygrywamy lub przegrywamy i w jakim stylu – nalicza nam punkty i pokazuje je na wykresie.

    Gry chyba nie można przejść, można tylko starać się uzyskać jak najwięcej punktów w każdej z dyscyplin, a po dłuższym rozpracowaniu i dojściu do maximum swoich umiejętności chyba nic więcej nie da się już zrobić. Gra nadaje się świetnie do multi i do odpalania płytki z Wii Sports w wolnej chwili.

    Jeśli chodzi o oprawę audio-video, to jest ona schludna. Obraz w menu jest przejrzysty, a podczas minigierek ogranicza się do niezbędnego minimum. Dźwięk wygląda podobnie, w menu słyszymy lekko wpadający w ucho podkład, a podczas samej rozgrywki tylko to – co powinniśmy (żadnej muzyki). W golfie np. szum fal, świst wiatru, szelest trawy i ładnie oddane dźwięki uderzeń w piłeczkę. Wii Remote z wbudowanego głośniczka również wydaje dźwięki, co pozwala „zbliżyć się do gry”, np. w tenisie moment zamachnięcia się rakietą.

    Podsumowując, należy powiedzieć iż jest to gra przejściowa między jakimiś konkretnymi tytułami. Razem z konsolą Wii na samym początku może zapewnić wiele frajdy wszystkim, którzy mają z nią styczność. Każdy gracz / „niegracz” jest w stanie powymachiwać Wii Remote, czerpiąc satysfakcję z prostoty (ale nie prostactwa) jakie oferuje nam Wii Sports i nowe sterowanie tej konsoli. Recenzowany tytuł jest świetnym dodatkiem do Nintendo Wii i choć nie zapewni długiego grania (no chyba, że ktoś będzie się bawił w Wii Fitness), to z całą pewnością na starcie ukazuje zalety sterowania tejże konsoli i sprawia radochę każdemu, bez względu na wiek, płeć i zamiłowanie do gier.

    As kids, we took this for granted. Now that I am later in life, I can appreciate this piece of art alongside my friends. Wii Sports didn't just showcase the Wii Remote capabilities, it showcased the meaning of life. Thank you Nintendo for gracing us with this modern masterpiece.

    Great sports game. You will clearly have a lot of fun and play with your friends. Tennis is my favorite mini-game. Also it features a Training side where you can play lots of others mini-games :)

    Even though this is a really basic game it's a great one to play with the kids, and really fun for family get togethers where you have to take turns with younger cousins, nieces and nephews! Definitely recommend.

    This game showed us what the Wii was all about and it showed it well. It is nostalgic and very fun. And I THINK it was the first game to use wiis as playable characters in a game. This game did a lot too.

    This is a great game but Resort is MUCH BETTER!! Golf had a little lag here, but fixed in Resort. Bowling is my favourite. The sports are fun, baseball is fun! I got Out of the Park twice in my life playing Wii Sports. The training mode is very fun and on the last round of "100 pin bowling" there is a trick on the final round. Find it out yourself. You'll be surprised.

    Wii Sports is one of my favourite sports games of all time. The graphics and characters look awesome. The only bad thing about it are the controls. They are good but can get really touchy. You need a lot of practise to master this challenging game.

    A surprisingly functional game that uses "motion controls" to control the game. It is really fun, especially with family and friends. Where Wii Sport's downfall comes is the shortage of games to play. Overall, great game. 8/10 (Great)

    Uno de los juegos que más ha cerrado la brecha digital y de los preferidos para usar en familia. Sin él la Wii no habría tenido el impacto que tuvo. Sin duda uno de los videojuegos más importantes y más ninguneado.

    Oh my, this game.
    This might just be the best sports game ever on a videogame console. Controls are simple and intuitive, allowing anyone to pick them up. Getting really good at it is quite challenging, though, as is proper for a game that goes back to the roots of sports games like the ones on the NES. Physics feel natural enough and graphics are perfectly functional.

    Whether you score a strike in bowling or hit the golf ball out into the water, it's almost certainly your own doing. There is no story whatsoever, just you, the player(s) and the gameplay. Anyone wondering why the Wii sold so well for years after launch, this is the answer.    … Expand

    Wii Sports is a fun game. Not much in the way of extra

    content, but, playing the sports by yourself is fun,

    playing in a group is fun, it's all fun. However, it

    would have been nice if there was a bit more to the

    Golf game, since there are only 9 different holes in

    the game, it gets a little repetitive. But, that's

    really my only complaint!

    Wii Sports did an excellent job at showing what the Wii could do. They've obviously payed attention to the games themselves, which is the right idea to do, with the "Quality over Quantity" thing. The visuals aren't that great, and some more titles would've been nice, but as a launch title, it does a mighty fine job.

Boxing would be fun if it was more Punch Out!!!, but it isn't.

    That leaves bowling and golf. Bowling is enjoyable, but repetitive; it gets boring after a while. Thus Golf is the real reason for this game, and it is really fun. There are only nine holes (sadly), but they're enjoyable and its a great game to play with some friends. Despite saying it is one player, it is up to four players, just not simultaneously (obviously). If they released a game which was JUST golf, but had, say, 72 holes on it, I'd buy it, and it'd be worth every penny. Wii Golf is fun, and the saving grace of this title.    … Expand

    Yes, it is free and approachable--and it's fun. For me, though, the big win for this was "practice mode" which is not only highly innovative, but really good at teaching the Wii skill basics so that new players can understand what they are supposed to be doing. Nothing like a coach throwing 30 balls at you to help you learn how to hit a baseball.
