Wii Sports Club[a] is a sports simulation video game, developed by Nintendo and Bandai Namco Studios and published by Nintendo for the Wii U throughout 2013 and 2014. It is the third entry in the Wii Sports series, a part of the larger Wii series. As an enhanced remake of the 2006 Wii launch title Wii Sports, it includes five minigames that replicate Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing, and are controlled with motion controls that replicate the sports. New to the game is additional control schemes using the Wii U GamePad, online multiplayer, and Wii Motion Plus support. Players are organized into clubs that represent different regions, and scores and stats are tracked on Nintendo's social network Miiverse. Players could also communicate with each other during and after online matches using Miiverse. Each sport can be purchased individually or rented for a certain amount of time via a pass.

Wii Sports was remade per the request of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, as well as to take advantage of Wii Motion Plus and GamePad technology. Since online play was demanded by fans it was prioritized, as well as Miiverse support, which was designed with a sense of community. The game was announced in a September 2013 Nintendo Direct and released in October 2013 with only Tennis and Bowling available, while Baseball, Golf, and Boxing would be released in the following months. The game released in full physically in July 2014. The game received mixed reception, being praised for its new additions and controls but criticized for its technical issues. It was followed by Nintendo Switch Sports in 2022.
