Wii Play, released as Your First Step to Wii (はじめてのWii Hajimete no Uī?) in Japan, is a party video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii console. It was released as a launch game for the console in Japan, Europe, and Australia, and was released in North America on February 12, 2007. The sequel to Wii Play, Wii Play: Motion, was released in 2011.
Wii Play features nine minigames that are designed to introduce players to handling the Wii Remote controller. Like all other titles in the Wii series, the players control Mii characters created using the console's Mii Channel application. Some of Wii Play's minigames were originally showcased as tech demos for the Wii at E3 2006.
Wii Play is the fifth best-selling game for the Wii, with 28.02 million copies sold worldwide as of March 31, 2016.
Wii Play consists of nine games. All games are designed for 2 players, but can also be played by a single player, with a computer-controlled second player in games where it is necessary. No Nunchuks are required for any of the games; however, players can use a Nunchuk as a substitute for the D-Pad for the Tanks! game if they wish.
After playing each game another game is unlocked, until all nine games are available. In single player, points are earned in each game and the top 5 highest scores are stored. Getting high enough scores in single player awards the player bronze, silver, gold and platinum medals for that game. It also puts a message on the Wii Message Board saying which game and medal were unlocked, and gives a short tip for that game.
