Hajimete no Wii

Welcome to the Wii, a wondrous and engaging device which plays games and forces couch taters to rise up and move their arms in energetic sweeps, shaking motions, and the occasional thrusting attack. To demonstrate the versatility and power of the Wii Remote controller, Nintendo gathers together nine mini-games which test reflexes and vim:

Shooting - Targets appear on and over a grassy field. Blast at them.
Finding Mii - Dozens of characters walks around an intersection. Find the target Miis based on the details presented before the challenge
Ping Pong - Disembodied hands swat a ball back and forth above a blue table while crowds of characters gather around to view the table tennis extravaganza
Posing Mii - An energized playfield appears with Mii characters in "Walk Like an Egyptian" poses floating in space. Move and position them over body outlines that match each Wii
Laser Hockey - A futuristic version of Air Hockey where the players use a neon-lit "C-shaped" paddle to bounce and ricochet the ball
Billiards - Poke at a ball with cue thrusting moves to smack balls into corner pockets and center receptacles
Fishing - Manipulate a disembodied hand that's grasping a fishing pole and hook flattened fish swimming just below the surface of a pool of water
Charge! - Cows are thundering down a track. Grab the Wiimote «more»
