Revision as of 15:57, 28 October 2023
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.

Reception
The Wii series has achieved remarkable commercial success, with almost every single game selling millions of copies. Notably, as of 2023, Wii Sports is currently the fourth best-selling video game in history and holds the distinction of being the top-selling video game exclusive to a single gaming console, helped by being a pack-in game as a the launch of the Wii.
With the exception of Wii Chess, all titles in the series habe been released worldwide, Wii Sports and Wii Play were the first two games of the seventh console generation to surpass 10 million units sold, Wii Sports having sold other 82 million sales, a significant portion of those comming from bundling.
Trivia
- Nintendo Switch Sports is the first game in the series to:
- Not have Miis as the only playable characters
- Not have "Wii" in the title
- Appart from Wii Music and Wii Chess (the later one being exclusive to Europe and not being a game of the Wii series in Japan) are the only games in the Wii series to not get a follow-up game.
