What Sports Are in Wii Sports? Five Motion-Controlled Classics

Wii Sports includes **five** motion-controlled sports, each showcasing the Wii Remote's capabilities:

1. Tennis (1–4 players) — Swing remote like a racket; timing/angle control shot direction.
2. Baseball (1–2 players) — Pitch (flick) and bat (swing); simplified innings, no fielding control.
3. Bowling (1–4 players) — Swing remote like a ball; twist for spin; realistic physics.
4. Boxing (1–2 players) — Two remotes (or Remote+Nunchuk) for left/right hooks, jabs, blocks, dodges.
5. Golf (1–4 players) — Swing remote like a club; backswing height = power; putt with short strokes.
