Game Vortex writes: "Not sporting the fancy graphics engine of other next-gen consoles, the Nintendo Wii has survived (and thrived) by featuring fun and highly interactive games that are easy to learn and, more times than not, multiplayer by design. This has led to a plethora of mini-game compilation releases, including Deca Sports, released in May 2008. While receiving only marginal reviews from critics, it was still one of the best selling games of the genre. Now, Hudson Soft is preparing to release a follow-up cleverly entitled Deca Sports 2."
"Most of us have played Deca Sports. And most of us agree that the franchise is incredibly inane. Yet Hudson continues to plague the Wii, DS, and even the Xbox 360 with increasingly lame installments of its sports collection titles. When will Hudson learn that no one cares about that poor series?" - BrightHub.com
If they're making the games, clearly someone is buying them. But it sure ain't me.
Gamertell has compiled a list of eight sports-related games to help readers feel more "sporty and competitive."
The list include PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, iPhone and iPod Touch games.

Like most of these, I'd rather just stick to Nintendo's waggle centric line-up. Most of these mini-game collections either over or underestimate the Wii remote's sensitivity. Deca Sports 2 doesn't do much to change my opinion though it does have one stand out game that's missing from Nintendo's lineup."
