For the release of the [[Wii]] near the end of 2006, Nintendo placed the system's focus on reaching out to demographics that do not usually play video games, and ''Wii Sports'' was designed with this aim in mind by being simple and accessible enough that both first-time and long-time video game players could interact relatively equally. This game was first released in November of 2006, as a launch title bundled with the Wii. It consisted of five sports games (tennis, bowling, boxing, golf, and baseball). Players used [[Mii]]s that they created on the Wii's Mii Channel in these games, and each individual Mii kept their own records as save data. As the gameplay was very simple to get into and players became active while playing, ''Wii Sports'' became fairly popular in places that video games would not normally be seen, most notably hospitals and nursing homes. In addition to this, the game has also seen use as a method of physical therapy for those recovering from strokes and injuries. Due to its accessibility and the fact that it was bundled as a pack-in game with every Wii until 2011, ''Wii Sports'' went on to become the best-selling video game for a single console of all time, beating the previous record holder ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' at around 82 million copies.

It later received a sequel, ''Wii Sports Resort'', released in 2009. This sequel also served as the debut for the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the Wii Remote. Including 10 new sports (swordplay, wakeboarding, frisbee, archery, basketball, table tennis, air sports, power cruising, canoeing and cycling) alongside retaining bowling and golf from its predecessor, ''Wii Sports Resort'' enjoyed similar success to its predecessor, going on to sell around 32 million copies, and ranks third in best selling Wii games, behind the original ''Wii Sports'' and ''Mario Kart Wii''. In 2013, ''Wii Sports'' was remade in HD as ''Wii Sports Club'' on the Wii U; however, this remake was eShop exclusive, and was free to download but required players to rent sports for a small fee in order to play them. This remake featured online multiplayer, allowing users to play with other Wii U console owners who had the sport in question. In addition, players could join clubs, allowing groups of players to compete with other players online. It was released in disc form in 2014, removing the need for passes in order to rent a sport. Although the Wii Sports branding ended with the end of the Wii line of consoles, Nintendo continued to release new sport themed games based around swinging the controller, such as ''Nintendo Switch Sports'' (released on April 29th, 2022).

There is one music track from ''{{iw|miiwiki|Wii Sports}}'' in ''Brawl'', which plays on [[PictoChat]].
