The Wii series, also simply known as Wii, and sometimes improperly as the Mii series, is a series of simple video games developed by Nintendo mostly for the Wii and Wii U consoles, most of them starring the customizable player's avatar called Mii. A recurring location in the series is Wuhu Island, a place first shown in Wii Fit jogging modes, called "Wii Fit Island", where the player's Mii can walk around it, and later better defined and renamed in Wii Sports Resort. It also returns in jogging and cycling modes in Wii Fit Plus.
