Conceived as an introduction to the console, this collection of gentle activities teaches you to wield the remote while having fun, from pointing to motion. The little playful exercises and their disarming kindness put beginners at ease at once. The fun springs from this pressure-free discovery, accessible to the whole family. Light, clever and welcoming, an ideal first step into gesture gaming.
Taiwanese edition of the Nintendo mini-game compilation known in the West as Wii Play, designed to introduce the console's motion controls and usually sold with a Wii remote. The Taiwanese pressing, for a restricted market, is markedly less common than the Western and Japanese editions. Desirability rests on that regional scarcity of an introductory title emblematic of the Wii launch, sought by completists of the Taiwanese catalog.
