Wii Sports, released for the Nintendo Wii in 2006, included golf as one of its simple motion-controlled sports, and its cheerful crowd reactions became part of the game's cozy, living-room feel. As Wii Sports nostalgia grew online, short sounds from the game were clipped and shared on soundboards and in short videos, where this applause became a quick way to celebrate a small win. It still works because the sound is instantly recognisable to a generation who played it, while also reading clearly as polite applause to anyone else.
