Players manipulate their games through the motion of the remote control-like Wii Remote, which ... includes a built-in speaker. In a four-player tennis game shown during Nintendo's media briefing, the Wii Remote became a virtual tennis racket, from the vibration of the hit to the sound of the ball.
