Hudson To Release Deca Sports For Wii

Hudson Entertainment has announced it will bring Deca Sports, which combines ten sporting events into one game, to the Wii in Summer 2008. Hudson says the title is targeted at all player ages, and offers beach volleyball, snowboard cross, badminton, basketball, curling, figure skating, archery, supercross, soccer and kart racing. Each sport in Deca Sports uses the Wii Remote. For example, players can hit tennis balls, spike volleyball or ride down the slopes with the motion controls; in figure skating players need to time jumps and spins to music to impress the judges. Hudson adds that all ten sports support both single player and multiplayer modes, in addition to a training mode to practice skills. Said Hudson president and CEO John Greiner, “We have seen tremendous growth in the casual sports gaming market in the last few years, and saw an opportunity that would be a perfect fit for the Nintendo Wii. With Deca Sports we wanted to offer a sports package that is unrivaled in terms of sheer number of available sports. More importantly, the game is easy to play, but offers layers of depth that even hardcore sports enthusiasts will love to play.”
