Wii Sports is getting an HD remake. The five original sports of Wii's iconic pack-in game are coming back, retooled and enhanced for Wii U.

Bowling, tennis, baseball, boxing, and golf make their return for Nintendo's new home console. Although the five games are all part of "Wii Sports Club," they'll actually be released individually via Nintendo eShop. Each game will feature HD graphics, enhanced controls via Wii MotionPlus, and online multiplayer.

Boxing, baseball, and golf will be available on November 7th, with the remaining two games to launch "in the months ahead." Each game will offer a free 24-hour trial. Once the trial ends, players can purchase a Day Pass for $1.99 to get another 24 hours of access. Players can also buy permanent access to each sport for $9.99 each.

It unsurprisingly looks a lot like Wii Sports--but in HD. To check out some gameplay footage, check out Nintendo Direct here.

      Awesome. This will be a nice addition to have in HD, and will be curious to see how much better the games perform now that motion+ is the standard.

        Well, bowling and golf have already been remade once using MotionPlus in Wii Sports Resort.
