Wii Sports
Console launch bundle
Wii Sports is a video game released in 2006 for Nintendo's Wii console, bundled with the system at launch.
The game uses motion-sensing controllers to simulate tennis, bowling, golf, baseball, and boxing, making players physically swing, throw, and punch rather than press buttons.
Its intuitive gameplay attracted non-gamers and became synonymous with the Wii's mainstream appeal: We played Wii Sports at the nursing home.
