The Wii series (the name of the series sometimes changing from game to game, such as in Nintendo Switch Sports) is a collection of simulation and party games released by Nintendo for the gaming console bearing the same name, as well as its successors, the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch. While most of the games in this series have a lot of differences from one to another, they all share a somewhat symplistic design and all of them uses mostly or entirely Mii-based character casts (appart from Wii Chess who's inclusion is often debatable and Nintendo Switch Sports who uses Sportsmate as a replacement for the Miis).
The Wii series as been used multiple time as a mean to bundle and market all sorts of Wii accesories, such as Wii Remotes, Wii Motion Plus, and Wii Balance Boards.
The Wii series was conceived by Nintendo executive Shigeru Miyamoto to package and sell similar Wii Remote prototype games in a single package.
