Nintendo has announced Wii Sports Club for Wii U, an enhanced version of the original Wii Sports.

Wii Sports Club features HD versions of Bowling, Tennis, Baseball, Boxing, and Golf from Wii Sports. Each game will be in HD and feature online multiplayer. Each of the five titles will be releasing piecemeal on the Wii U eShop.

The online multiplayer will take the form of Clubs, which allows players to register in state or regional clubs as well as chat during matches over Miiverse. Clubs will be ranked, and the system will allow clubs to compete with fellow members or face off against rival clubs.

The game itself will be a free download and comes with trial versions of each game. Players will be able to purchase a Day Pass for $1.99, which allows them to play any available games for 24 hours, or purchase the full version of each game for $9.99.

The first two games, Tennis and Bowling, will release on November 7. Baseball, Golf, and Boxing will release "in the months ahead."
