Wii Sports Club is a 2013 remake of Wii Sports for the Wii U. It features enhanced high-definition graphics and online multiplayer, and utilizes Wii Remote Plus functionality. It was released initially as a downloadable title on Nintendo eShop, and later received a physical retail version. It features the same 5 sports as Wii Sports: Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing. The game was revealed in the Wii Fit U Direct on September 9th, 2013.
The downloadable version of the game is free, however, the sports must be purchased individually. The entire selection of sports can be rented for 24 hours for $1.99, or purchased individually for $9.99. Upon release, only Bowling and Tennis were available. Golf was added on December 18th, 2013, and Baseball and Boxing were added on June 26th, 2014. The physical edition retailed for $50, and contains all 5 sports without the need to purchase them.
A major difference from Wii Sports is the addition of clubs. Players can join clubs, which represent various regions across the world. Once in a club, players are prevented from joining a new club for 24 hours. Clubs have internal player rankings, as well as external rankings. Miiverse connectivity was also supported, particularly through players being able to write or draw their own messages for use in online play.
