''Wii Sports is one of the best games for the Nintendo Wii, so it shouldn't be a surprise that other companies want sports compilations of their own. Hudson Soft is the latest publisher to give this formula a shot with Deca Sports, an all-ages friendly collection of 10 sports games. Not all of the activities hit the mark, but those that do are worth it.
Ten sports are available: curling, beach volleyball, figure skating, archery, snowboard cross, kart racing, supercross, badminton, basketball and soccer. Most of these use a combination of the Nunchuk and Wii remote to marvelous effect. The archery game in particular features a slick on-screen aiming tool, as well as functions that resemble holding a real bow. What's really a treat is how Hudson Soft made the more obscure activities fun to play as well. We couldn't get enough of the competitive curling event, and were pleasantly surprised by cutthroat figure skating matches.''
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.
