Claim 17:
18. A sport game apparatus comprising:
an operation device; and
a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein
the operation device includes:
a first direction input device,
a first inertial sensor, and
a data transmission section configured to transmit operation data to the information processing apparatus, the operation data including at least first direction data based on an output of the first direction input device and first inertial data based on an output of the first inertial sensor, and

the processor is configured to control the sport game apparatus to at least:
move a player character object in a virtual space on the basis of the first direction data,
control a position of a virtual camera in the virtual space on the basis of a position of the player character object,
determine, on the basis of the first inertial data, a swing direction in which the operation device has been swung,
cause the player character object to perform a swing action of swinging in a direction according to the determined swing direction,
cause the moving object to move in the virtual space on the basis of collision determination between the swing action and a moving object, thereby controlling a sport game that uses the moving object, and
set a direction of the virtual camera on the basis of a position of the moving object, and arrange the virtual camera at a position such that the player character object is included in a field of view of the virtual camera.
