Wii Play includes Wiimote controller
In a nutshell:
If you want as gentle an introduction as possible to the world of Wii then this user-friendly compilation of mini-games is just the thing for you, with a collection of games that are as easy to play as they are fun.
The lowdown:
It might be easy to use but the Wii is still a pretty unusual beast and a bit of a culture shock from the overly complex controllers of other consoles. This compilation of mini-games aims to ease you in gently with simple to play games that only need the Wii Remote to enjoy. These include games of table tennis, air hockey (or Laser Hockey as the game would have it) and an updated of NES classic Duck Hunt. There’s also Wii Billiards, a fishing sim and a number of games which use your customised Mii Channel character, including Wii Pose and the Where’s Wally style Find Mii. Since many of these games have a multiplayer mode the game also comes bundled with an extra Remote (but not a nunchuck), which usually sells for 29.99 separately. Most exciting moment:
Although all of the games are fun the best one is probably the Duck Hunt update (which also has you shooting UFOs and other non-avian enemies). Perhaps what’s most exciting about it is that it proves how good other light gun franchises, such as Virtua Cop and Time Crisis would be on the Wii.
Since you ask:
Many of the mini-games included with Wii Play, such as Duck Hunt and Table Tennis, were first seen as technical demos at the E3 trade conference in May 2006, when the Wii was first revealed in playable form.

A Good Game January 1, 2008
This is a jolly good game that is a splendid introduction to the Wiimote controller, I intitially bought it for the free controller, but upon playing soon discovered it was a real hoot!
2 out of 2 found this review helpfulWii Play is a great little compilation of games that comes bundled with a free remote - or the other way around, depending how you want to look at it. Admittedly, this isn’t the sort of game you’ll play alone, but like Wii Sports it’s fantastic to play in a small group and demonstrates yet again that the Wii is the best console for outright fun. While there are a total of nine games here, my personal favourites are: Laser Hockey, which is sort of like air hockey but with a funky neon-lit table; Find Mii, in which you have to pick out different Mii avatars in numerous ways (this gets more challenging the further you go); Pose Mii, which is a simple yet challenging game where you have to quickly align Miis up in the correct pose and posture before they hit the water; Shooting Range, which is basically Duck Hunt but with all new graphics and tighter gameplay, and finally Charge, which is a great little racing game where you have to ride a cow around a field and collect the scarecrows for points.
There are more games on here that offer up plenty of fun, but the above are the ones I find to be the best. Graphics are similar to Wii Sports in that they go for the unrealistic, semi-cartoon style Nintendo does so very well, and the sound is typically humorous and charming in equal measure. In all, Wii Play is barrels of fun and laughs, but as previously stated, it’s only a game you will ever use when in groups large or small. But considering you get this and the Wii Remote for the price of a regular game should be incentive enough for you to buy it. I think it’s one of the best bargains of the year and it’s something you should definitely not miss out on.
