This comes from the Iwata Asks interview...

Makino: I'm Makino from the Software Planning & Development Department. We asked Namco Bandai Studios to develop it, so I first participated as a coordinator. But in the end, I got into just about anything. I mainly worked on the network aspect of the game, but at times I made suggestions on how some features should turn out to be.

Suzuki: I'm Suzuki in the Software Planning & Development Department. At first, I was a coordinator too, serving as contact for Namco Bandai Studio and dealing with overseas subsidiaries in localizing the overseas versions, but eventually, like Makino-san, I was doing anything I could.

Shimamura: From the middle of development, Makino-san and Suzuki-san were also working as full-fledged planners. We did ask Namco Bandai Studio to develop the game this time, but staff in Nintendo's Network Development & Operations Department--the Software Planning & Development Department that these two are in--and EAD also chipped in.

Shimamura: Right. We've decided to run a special campaign when Golf comes out. When a new sport comes in, you'll be able to play past games as well, as much as you want, for 24 hours.

Iwata: So every time there's a new release, there's a free 24 hour trial period. So you don't miss out if you start early. As a matter of fact, it's a better deal if you actually start sooner.

Wii Sports Club - Why the release structure was chosen

This comes from the Iwata Asks interview...

''To be honest, it started from the point when we thought that since it will take some time to make all five sports and release them at once, what if we were to release them in the order they're ready. If we were to release them in a package, it would be quite some way down the road before all of them were ready. I do think, however, that there are a lot of benefits to this approach. And this is an online game. If we were to release all five games at once, the customers would divide up into the different games. But if we put them out like an irregular periodical, people can thoroughly enjoy each individual sport.'' - Nintendo's Shimamura

Golf
The ball is displayed on the Wii U GamePad screen by your feet, and the fairway is on the TV screen ahead of you. You can play just like you would play as if it was real golf. This time, if you face the Wii Remote Plus toward the Wii U GamePad by your feet, the head of the club appears on the screen. And if you twist the Wii Remote Plus controller, the club head turns, too. Then, if you hit in that position, you can hit a fade and so forth. Golf will be ready for people to hit the green with it soon.

Baseball
As for Baseball, the basic control is swinging the Wii Remote Plus like a bat. The pitcher uses the Wii U GamePad. You look into the Wii U GamePad and choose a course and type of pitch and throw. You can enjoy trying to outfox the batter.

Boxing
For Boxing, they are considering a lot with regard to network compatibility and so on. Have to wait a little longer for that.

Wii Sports Returns With HD and Online Multiplayer

Wii Sports, the game that defined the Wii, is now coming to Wii U in an unorthodox fashion.

Nintendo revealed these details today during one of its regular Nintendo Direct events.

Wii Sports Club is essentially Wii Sports HD, but downloading Wii Sports Club won’t cost you a thing. Instead, the individual sports will run you $9.99, with tennis and bowling launching on November 7. Boxing, baseball, and golf will be coming down the line.

Interestingly, there’s also the option to “rent” an all access pass for a single day for $1.99, and a set of free trials become available once you’ve purchased one of the games. The games will also include MotionPlus support, which wasn’t part of the original game, and online mutiplayer.

That seems quite pricey for what was once pack-in software, and it’s not shocking the first two games rolling out from this collection are the most popular slices from the original Wii Sports.

There are some interesting wrinkles to Wii Fit U, as well. Anyone with a Balance Board accessory can unlock the Wii Fit U software for free for a month starting on November 1. With the purchase of a Fit Meter pedometer for $19.99, you’ll continue to gain access to the software indefinitely. Anyone without a Balance Board can purchase the bundle separately for $90 on December 13, and a full-priced digital version of Wii Fit U will finally show up on February 1.

You can watch the entire Nintendo Direct below:

This is awesome, except the prices. Download-only means it will never be on sale. The rental option is interesting... I wonder if that will become a standard thing.
