Wii Sports.

Wii Sports is a sports game which was developed and published by Nintendo.

The game is a collection of five sports simulations.

These sports are tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing.

Players use the Wii Remote to mimic actions that are performed in real -life sports, such as swinging a tennis racket.

They hold and swing the Wii Remote like a golf club, baseball bat, or bowling ball.

The game also features training and fitness modes that check players' progress in the sports.

Through these modes, players can also warm up.

Some aspects of the game are computer -controlled.

In tennis, player movement is controlled by the Wii, while the swing of the racket is controlled by the player.

The game has become a popular means for social gatherings and competitions among players of varying ages.

After its release, Wii Sports received many awards from various organizations, websites, and magazines.

In 2010, the game was included as one of the titles in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die.

The game, along with Wii Fit, is regarded as a game that can make family members feel closer to each other.

Last year, a study was conducted by the researchers in Liverpool John Moore's University,

and it concluded that players used 2 % more energy than by playing on other consoles.

They stated that it was no substitute for playing a real sport, but could contribute to losing weight.
