There's no question that Nintendo's Wii Sports is one of the greatest video games in history, thanks to its pick up and play nature that gets men and women playfully flirting and eventually sleeping with each other. Now thanks to Hudson Soft, we can keep our mackin' skills sharp with Deca Sports, its upcoming Wii exclusive that features a wide array of games designed to get the blood pumping in even the most intimate of areas.


Deca Sports features ten games, most of which comprise our Wii Sports 2 wish lists. You get basketball, soccer, archery, kart racing, motocross, beach volleyball and snowboarding while at the same time a few odd additions, including badminton, curling and figure skating. Each sport utilizes the Wii's motion sensitive remote in some fashion, though at this early stage, Hudson hasn't revealed how they work. With that being said, it's safe to assume that you'll hold the remote horizontally and tilt it back and forth while kart racing, and much like Wii Tennis, badminton will probably ask you to swing it like you would a racket. Basketball and Soccer, on the other hand, most likely require both the remote and nunchuk controllers.

Before getting your game on, you'll choose from a handful of modes, such as Single Tournament, Open Match and Multiplayer DS Tour (whatever that is). Most of the games (excluding basketball, soccer and badminton) have four player support, but it doesn't appear that Hudson will take advantage of the Wii's online functionality which is fine by us, since it's much more enjoyable placing friendly (and flirtatious) bets in person.


We're very excited about Deca Sports, especially in lieu of Nintendo's decision to remain mum on Wii Sports 2. At the same time, we can't help but wonder if Hudson has the skills to pull this off. If they screw up development, they might as well fire one of those arrows straight into our collective heart. All we know is Wii Sports is getting old, and we need some curling in our lives. Look for this potential gem this summer.
