GamyCyte: Hudson Gamers' Day: Deca Sports and the Shovelware Perception

Hudson Entertainment's Gamers' Day event had a few new titles to show off, but occupying its own corner was a somewhat older face: Deca Sports, Hudson's sport-oriented compilation for the Wii, which launched back in May to a rather frosty reception.
