You've probably already heard about '''''Wii Sports'''''. If you're not into video games, then you probably heard the media, [[Media Research Failure|getting it wrong as they always do]], referring to it as the [[Wii]] itself, not making a distinction between the game and the system that comes with it (but being bundled with the system doesn't help). If you are into video games, you of course already knew about it. And no matter who you are, you've probably already played it.

You've probably already heard about ''Wii Sports''. If you're not into video games, then you probably heard the media, [[Media Research Failure|getting it wrong as they always do]], referring to it as the [[Wii]] itself, not making a distinction between the game and the system that comes with it (but being bundled with the system doesn't help). If you are into video games, you of course already knew about it. And no matter who you are, you've probably already played it.

But for those of you who haven't, here's a rundown. ''Wii Sports'' is a game that comes with the Wii itself in every region of the world except its native country of Japan. It's five simplified sports in one game, and it's dependent on the Wii's motion sensitive remote-shaped controller.

It might also be worth noting that ''Wii Sports'' is the best selling video game. Ever. <ref> Of course, despite being available as a stand-alone title on store shelves, this has a lot to do with it being bundled with almost every Wii (subsequent runs have been bundled with other games instead, such as ''[[Mario Kart|Mario Kart Wii]]''), so nearly every Wii owner gets the game anyway, whether they even play it or not.</ref>

* [[AI Breaker]]: The AI in boxing simply can't deal with repeated dodging+only using counter attacks. It is possible to get your rating off the scale, then '''off the TV''' with this.

* [[Divorced Installment]]: There were plans to make this a ''[[Super Mario|Mario]]'' sports game, but players took a liking to their Miis, so it became what we have today.

** And then a [[Mario Sports Mix|Mario-themed sports compilation game]] was made anyway.

* [[Follow the Leader]]: Plenty of third party games tried to cash in on this. Now we have ''Sports Champions'' for the [[~~Play Station 3|~~Playstation Move]], and ''Kinect Sports'' for the [[~~Xbox 360|~~Kinect]].

* [[Killer App]]

* [[Killer App]]: For the Wii, and for casual gaming as a whole.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Baseball. When the opposing team hits the ball to one of your fielders, there is absolutely nothing you can do regarding whether he fields the ball cleanly or makes an error. And as is the case with real baseball, one poorly timed defensive mistake can change the entire course of a game.

* [[Off the Chart]]: Getting a high enough ranking (easier in boxing with AI breakers) will result in this. To show it isn't intentional, keeping it up will put you off the TV.
