acquire, from an operation device having an inertial sensor, operation data including at least data based on an output of the inertial sensor;
determine whether or not the operation device is in a swing state in which the operation device is being swung, on the basis of the operation data;
determine 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, on the basis of the operation data;
determine whether the operation device is swung in an upward direction or a downward direction, on the basis of the operation data;
execute first processing in at least a case where it is determined that the operation device is rotated in the first direction about the predetermined axis and a case where it is determined that the operation device is swung in the upward direction, during a period in which the operation device is in the swing state, on the basis of the operation data; and
execute second processing in at least a case where it is determined that the operation device is rotated in the second direction about the predetermined axis and a case where it is determined that the operation device is swung in the downward direction, during a period in which the operation device is in the swing state, on the basis of the operation data.
