Wii Play

Wii Play is a party game developed by Nintendo as a launch title for the Wii in Japan, Europe, and Australia. It was released in North America a few months after the Wii's release. The game contains nine minigames, all utilizing Miis. The games were designed to show off the various features of the Wii Remote. Wii Play was developed at the same time as Wii Sports, and is based on a collection of Wii demo games from E3 2006.

Although Wii Play received mixed reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, selling over 28 million copies worldwide. This is largely due to the game being bundled with a Wii Remote. The game retailed for $50 in the US, while a Wii Remote retailed for $40, meaning the game itself was essentially being sold for $10.

Shooting Range
In this game, similar to Duck Hunt from the NES, players point their Wii Remote at the screen and shoot at various objects to get points. Throughout all of the stages, ducks can occasionally be seen flying in the background, and can be shot for 1 point each.



Find Mii
The second game, Find Mii, has the player attempt to locate certain Miis following a prompt. Usually, the challenge is to locate two look-alike Miis, but sometimes it's to find a specific Mii. The game starts out with a one minute timer, and 10 seconds and a few points are added for each correct challenge. When the timer runs out, the game ends and the points are tallied. Each challenge is located in one of five places: a crosswalk, a body of water, a set of escalators, outer space, or a dark room.
