Tennis has players mimicking the swing of their Mii's tennis racket (or both of their Miis' rackets if they control both teammates) as they attempt to defeat the opposing team in a three-set Doubles match. It also received a sequel in 2009, titled Wii Sports Resort, and an updated remake for the Wii U in 2013 (as Wii Sports Club). The game was later re-released outside of Japan in May 2011 as part of the 'Nintendo Selects' label. It also integrates with the system's Message Board to track player performance.

It is the first game to utilize Nintendo's 'Mii' player avatars from the system's Mii Channel, allowing players to use their crafted Mii to represent them in-game and to save their personal stats. It also features numerous unlockable training mini-games for each sport and a built-in daily 'fitness age' test (Wii Fitness) that tracks the player's balance, speed, and stamina in randomly-selected training mini-games. Aspects of each sport, such as the throwing of a ball or the swinging of a club, are mimicked using the Wii Remote (with the Nunchuk attachment also being used in the Boxing mini-game). Making use of the motion-sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote, Wii Sports includes simplified simulations of five different sports: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. In regions outside of Japan and South Korea, the game was included as the system's pack-in game. Wii Sports is a sports-themed mini-game collection developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Wii (as a launch title) in North America (on November 19, 2006), Japan (on December 2, 2006), and Europe (on December 8, 2006).
