How to Play Wii Sports

Last Updated: March 2, 2022

Wii Sports was the first game ever released for the Nintendo Wii, and it was so popular they've made another one. Wii Sports is not a hard game by any means, and is great if you want to move around when playing video games. If you want to be a good player at Wii Sports, then read these tips.

Steps

1
Pick which sport you want to start with. There are five to choose from (Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing.)
2
Pick that sport. Choose your Mii and begin.

Method 1

Method 1 of 5:

Tennis

1
Have a partner in Tennis. You can do that by de-selecting yourself once before you start the game. With a partner, it is easier to concentrate on what you have to do, and not try to control both players.
2
Be the player closest to the net. That way, most balls go past you, but you have an opportunity to hit a few and most likely score.
3
Be prepared. When playing a best of 3 or best of 5 game, you will have to serve and be in the back.
4
Serve. All you have do is hit the "A" button and swing. If you miss, it's not counted against you and you try again.

Method 2

Method 2 of 5:

Baseball

1
Know exactly when to bat as it can take some practice, but once you get the hang of it, you don't forget it.
2
Swing right as the ball is at the edge of the green. That way, you don't get a strike or hit an easy out.
3
Don't swing at a ball if it goes away from the strike zone.
4
Know how to pitch. There are four different pitch types: Fastball, curveball, screwball, and splitter. To throw a fastball, flick the Wii® Remote. To throw a curveball, hold B. To throw a screwball, press A. To throw a Splitter press A and B.
5
Pitch. There are several combinations of pitches you can perform, but the basic one is just a swing of the remote. See the "Tips" section for some pitching styles.
6
Pitch fast. The faster you pitch, the further the ball will go if hit. If you flick the Wii remote instead of swinging it, it'll go a lot faster.

Method 3

Method 3 of 5:

Bowling

1
Know how to bowl. All bowling requires is a good aim and a good throw. There are no special ways to bowl on this game, making bowling one of the easiest sports. You can twist your wrist when you throw to make the ball go one direction towards the end.

Method 4

Method 4 of 5:

Golf

1
Keep in mind that golf is probably the most challenging sport on Wii Sports, but is very easy once you master it. For golf, all you need is to watch the wind speed and direction, and swing with the perfect amount of power.
2
Learn to swing. Grip the remote like a golf club. Then follow through with a golf swing. You will know if your swing was too hard if the swing-meter turns red and the ball curves. On some courses it's good to swing as hard as you can.
3
Master the perfect speed for swinging and putting as it is important, and can make you be very good once you master it.

Method 5

Method 5 of 5:

Boxing

1
Understand that boxing is a moderately easy game. It starts out very easy, but gets very hard fast.
2
Know how to punch. Use the remote like a fist. You can do jabs and uppercuts as well.
3
Know how to block. Raise both the remote and the nunchuk in front of your face.

Community Q&A

Question

In Wii Sports, how do I pitch different pitches in baseball?

Community Answer

It has to do with different button combinations and the way you hold the controller as you pitch the ball.
Question

How do I get to Pro class in Golf?

Community Answer

Once your level in the game reaches 1000, then you become a pro. Your level increases the more times you play the game. This also applies to the other sports in the game, but in all the sports, your level can decrease if you perform poorly in a round.

Warnings

Always wear the wrist strap! If you were to let go when playing, you could hurt yourself, someone else, or break something!

Keep the jacket on the Wii remote, too. It makes the outside softer that way if it hits something it won't hurt as much.
