A set of new screenshots for Hudson’s Wii Sports-alike, Deca Sports, as well as a few more details on how some of them will be controlled have been uncovered. There are ten activities in all (hence the name of the game) including soccer, basketball and volleyball - the sports detailed below.

In basketball, the Wii Remote is used to pass and shoot, with a shaking motion used to carry out both moves. There’s also a mention of ‘3 items’ being introduced - power-ups, perhaps?

Beach volleyball is also controlled using shakes of the Wii Remote. From what we can gather, you’ll be able to decide on who will return the ball and with what degree of power, even before it reaches your side of the neck.

Soccer (you guessed it) also makes use of Wii Remote waggling. Our ropey Japanese translation seems to infer that the ferocity with which you shake the control will decide the power of your shot.

Deca Sports is penned down for a winter release in Japan at present. Of course, we’ll keep you up to date with any details regarding a release in the West.

Seriously though, they should just use Miis.

Maybe they can sort of convert the Mii data so the characters have almost the same looking ?
Wii Sports 2 am here :D

That's what people thought EA were doing with MySims, but they didn't. Who knows if it's possible.

DefectiveReject · (08-30-2007, 12:21 PM)

I think it looks okay!

legend166 · (08-30-2007, 12:23 PM)

On the subject of the actually game, it could be good if it didn't sound as though the depth of the controls amounts to "shake the remote really fast".

Phife Dawg · (08-30-2007, 12:28 PM)

Seeing those Beach Volleyball shots I just wish Sega would make a Beach Spikers sequel on Wii already. But I guess that just would make too much sense.

PuppetSlave · (08-30-2007, 12:29 PM)

To me ten sports games translates too not going to control all that good. And all that shaking talk does not help.

Total crap, whats the point of a sports game where you just shake the remote constantly. Wii Sports (Hell even tiger woods puts this to shame)

mentalfloss · (08-30-2007, 01:42 PM)

No idea how it really plays yet, but it's got potential.

Haunted · (08-30-2007, 01:48 PM)

So, going from their 'ropey Japanese translation', the only thing you'll do in any of these games is shaking the Wiimote?

Probably a mistranslation from doing gestures to 'shaking', or I really don't get what Hudson is thinking.

Kafel · (08-30-2007, 01:50 PM)

I could buy this game if the badminton is good.

EverSoTrendy · (08-30-2007, 01:51 PM)

looks better than most Wii games. Don't bitch.

I'm so close to firing up photoshop and doing an orgy/car vault pic but dammit.. It's just too easy..

Maybe the xbox360 clown in the spectators or something...

gkryhewy · (08-30-2007, 02:01 PM)

I think this looks great. Sand deformation?

Haunted · (08-30-2007, 02:06 PM)

Btw, I like how it's blue against blue in the upper left corner of the footy screens. How are you even supposed to know who's in the lead? :lol

PetriP-TNT · (08-30-2007, 02:08 PM)

Segata Sanshiro · (09-08-2007, 08:58 PM)

Now, for real: who thought a year ago we'd be seeing Wii Sports cashgrab knockoffs?

At the 2006 TGS? With umpteen Brain Age knockoffs cluttering Japanese shelves?

Me.

Pokeylongo · (09-08-2007, 09:03 PM)

It actually doesn't look quite as atrocious as most Wii Sports knock-offs. In some screens.

While heavily medicated.

[edit]

Nevermind.

My side of the neck, eh?

Burai · (09-08-2007, 09:25 PM)

Overwhelming amounts of bikes and EXCITE in this shot.

It probably won't play side-on though. :(

I am the only one who read the title and thougth about this?

You might want to host that. Look in the FAQs.

miguel_c_hammer · (09-08-2007, 10:10 PM)

Does it at least have breast physics?

Since when have developers shied away from making games that cost no money to make?

McLesterolBeast · (09-08-2007, 10:16 PM)

i like how it's hosted on "worthplaying.com".

was "thisisagoodgameiswear.com" already taken?

I think Iwata stated in an interview that they are careful where the mii's go. This game will probably be crap and most of the games will suck.

DaSamba · (09-08-2007, 10:23 PM)

I'll buy it if the curling is good.

Rat Salad · (09-08-2007, 10:24 PM)

Why am I picturing some old bastard on his way home from a porn arcade suddenly picking this game up at Walmart?

Jiggy · (09-08-2007, 11:00 PM)

They picked a nice selection of sports, but the character designs are ugly--much too stumpy to be cute in the style that this sort of game should aim for.

On the bright side, the more Wii Sports knockoffs are made, the better the odds that eventually one of them will turn out okay and get things right. I hope.

I'd buy it. For $15 dollars. Tops.

First trailer.

Looks slower paced than Wii Sports
