Deca Sports for Wii Packs 10 Mini Games

Deca Sports for Wii Packs 10 Mini Games

Ever since Nintendo revitalized the concept of mini games with Wii Sports, developers have seemingly leapt at the chance to include multiple small games in one title on the Wii platform. Hudson Entertainment will be the latest to use that formula with Deca Sports, set for release in summer 2008. The game will include ten different sports: beach volleyball, snowboard cross, badminton, basketball, curling, figure skating, archery, supercross, soccer and kart racing.

“With Deca Sports we wanted to offer a sports package that is unrivaled in terms of sheer number of available sports,” said Hudson CEO John Greiner. “More importantly, the game is easy to play, but offers layers of depth that even hardcore sports enthusiasts will love to play.”

All ten sports will offer single player and multiplayer gameplay, as well as training and practice modes. And in case you were wondering how exactly the company managed to make a game out of figure skating, playing will involve keeping pace with music and timing jumps and spins accordingly. Guitar Hero on ice, anyone?

Few video game consoles stirred up as much buzz as the Nintendo Wii. Before motion-tracking software was considered standard fare and shovelware began popping up left and right to take advantage, Nintendo looked to revolutionize the gaming landscape with the Wii.

The Wiimote and Nunchuck control system gave gamers a new way to game and opened the door for a new generation of interactive gaming. From brand-new motion-based party games like Wii Sports and Just Dance to groundbreaking installments to classic Nintendo series like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the Super Mario Galaxy, the Wii quickly became home to a stellar lineup of games for all ages.

2024 isn’t going to be as jam-packed with new AAA games as 2022 and 2023 were, giving us more time to go back and appreciate the classics. Anniversaries and the celebrations that follow are commonplace in the video game industry, especially if that anniversary is a multiple of five. Plenty of fantastic, influential games will hit milestones this year, but a few stand out. Some could even offer teasers into what might be in store for 2024 if developers plan to celebrate their classics. Regardless of whether these birthdays come with any presents, these are 10 video game anniversaries worth celebrating this year.
Warcraft -- 30 years

I can’t talk about video game anniversaries in 2024 without bringing up Warcraft. 2024 is filled with milestones for the series, thanks to some uniform releases from Blizzard. The entire franchise will turn 30 on November 15, as that's the day Warcraft: Orcs & Humans released and redefined the real-time strategy genre in 1994. Then there’s World of Warcraft, the most popular MMO of all time, which turns 20 in November 2023. Finally, the Warcraft digital collectible card game Hearthstone turns ten on March 11. To celebrate, Blizzard Entertainment plans to release World of Warcraft’s The War Within expansion and add Cataclysm to World of Warcraft Classic.
Super Metroid -- 30 years
