Later, in a 2007 episode of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” Conan O’Brien competed head-to-head with the tennis legend Serena Williams.

Using the motion-sensor remote, players mimic the actions of these sports such as swinging a baseball bat or throwing a bowling ball. The game is a collection of five different sports simulations: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. It is currently ranked at the fourth best-selling video game of all time, sitting just under Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto V and Tetris. The game became so popular that it was listed in the 2010 book “ 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die” by Tony Mott, and - as of MaWii Sports had sold over 82.90 million copies. In North America, Wii Sports was bundled with the Wii system, which provided new players with the opportunity to explore the controls before taking on more difficult games like Mario Kart. By the end of 2007, it became the best-selling Wii game, and over a million copies were sold in Japan alone. Wii Sports was released in November 2006, making it just over 15 years old. Hands have been washed raw and the Nintendo Wii has been dug out. Returning to this classic, treasured game is just what people need to bring joy back into their lives. That blue disc with the words “Wii Sports” is enough to bring memories flooding back, like that time your competitive brother got a little too close and broke the TV screen or the sports tournaments you had with your cousins as you waited for Christmas dinner to be served. The Wii was down from the loft and we were bowling □□ /bcx5Mx5J5R
