It's impossible to overstate just how much impact Wii Sports has had on the sports game genre, specifically as it relates to the Wii. Very few people would have believed that such a simple collection of games would spawn a worldwide craze, let alone shape a whole generation of games. However, if Nintendo has taught us anything, it's that people love to pretend the Wiimote is a bowling ball, tennis racket or golf club. With this knowledge in hand, Hudson is attempting to expand the genre a bit more with Deca Sports, a collection of 10 simple, easy-to-play minigames that will likely get the whole family up off the couch for another round of athletic fun.
Deca Sports, as the name implies, is a collection of 10 different sporting events (Archery, Badminton, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Curling, Figure Skating, Kart Racing, Snowboarding, Soccer and Supercross), all combined under one banner. The games are very simple to pick up and play, and each of them utilizes the Wiimote in fun and appropriate ways.
An official website suggests which 10 sports Hudson is bringing to the 3DS, and we think we’ve got them all worked out – including some surprises.
"Most of us have played Deca Sports. And most of us agree that the franchise is incredibly inane. Yet Hudson continues to plague the Wii, DS, and even the Xbox 360 with increasingly lame installments of its sports collection titles. When will Hudson learn that no one cares about that poor series?" - BrightHub.com
If they're making the games, clearly someone is buying them. But it sure ain't me.
Talk about a deca-disaster.
