Abstract: Using output of an inertial sensor, whether an operation device is in a swing state of being swung is determined. Whether the operation device is rotated in a first direction about a predetermined axis of the inertial sensor or a second direction opposite to the first direction, is determined. Whether the operation device is swung in an upward direction or a downward direction is determined. First processing is executed in at least either a case where the operation device is rotated in the first direction about the predetermined axis or a case where the operation device is swung in the upward direction, during the swing state. Second processing is executed in at least either a case where the operation device is rotated in the second direction about the predetermined axis or a case where the operation device is swung in the downward direction, during the swing state.

Abstract: An example of a game system includes an input apparatus, at least a part of which elastically deforms by applying a force to the input apparatus. During the execution of a rhythm game, music is reproduced, and at each of a plurality of timings associated with the music, a user input is evaluated. If the input apparatus deforms at a predetermined timing, a user input at the predetermined timing is evaluated in favor of a user regardless of whether or not the input apparatus deforms from a time before the predetermined timing.

Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus acquires action data based on an output of a sensor according to a fitness action performed by a player, and executes a game event. In the game event, the information processing apparatus designates at least one type of fitness event from among a plurality of types of fitness events. Each fitness event causes the player to perform a fitness action. During the game event, the information processing apparatus executes a fitness event that causes the player to perform a fitness action corresponding to the designated fitness event until an ending condition is satisfied. The information processing apparatus determines whether or not the achievement condition has been satisfied, based on the action data acquired during the fitness event. The information processing apparatus repeats designation and execution of the fitness event until it is determined that the achievement condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus acquires action data based on an output of a sensor according to a fitness action performed by a player, and executes a game event. In the game event, the information processing apparatus designates at least one type of fitness event from among a plurality of types of fitness events. Each fitness event causes the player to perform a fitness action. During the game event, the information processing apparatus executes a fitness event that causes the player to perform a fitness action corresponding to the designated fitness event until an ending condition is satisfied. The information processing apparatus determines whether or not the achievement condition has been satisfied, based on the action data acquired during the fitness event. The information processing apparatus repeats designation and execution of the fitness event until it is determined that the achievement condition has been satisfied.

In a case where, on the basis of the operation data, it is determined that the input device has been moved in a second direction at a timing when the predetermined condition is satisfied, if it is further determined that the input device has been moved in the first direction during a predetermined suspension period, the first-type processing is executed. If it is determined that the input device has not been moved in the first direction during the predetermined suspension period, second-type processing is executed after the predetermined suspension period has elapsed.
