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 simplistic design and all use mostly or entirely Mii-based character casts (apart from Wii Chess, whose inclusion is debatable, and Nintendo Switch Sports, which uses Sportsmates as the primary characters and Miis as a side option).

The Wii series has been used multiple times as a means to bundle and market all sorts of Wii accessories, 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 at the launch of the Wii.

With the exception of Wii Chess, all titles in the series have 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 coming 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
• Apart from Wii Music and Wii Chess (the latter 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.
