Wii Play also known as Hajimete no Wii (はじめてのWii) in Japan, roughly translating to "Your First Step to Wii", 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,[1] which could be 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.
It is succeeded by Wii Play Motion.
Gameplay
Wii Play is a party game consisting of nine minigames[2] that make use of the Wii Remote's several unique features. These games can either be played in single-player mode or in a two-player multiplayer versus mode in which each player's number of wins are recorded.[3] Upon starting the game, only one of the featured minigames is accessible, but the other eight are systematically unlocked as the player tries each one.[4] The player is able to use their own custom Mii avatars created through the Mii Channel, who appear in several of the included minigames.[4] High scores are saved when playing in single-player mode, and achieving certain high scores awards the player with bronze, silver, gold and platinum medals for the respective game, along with a message sent to the Wii Message Board containing a short tip for that respective game.[3]
