DECA SPORTS 2 This Fall

Whether you liked DECA SPORTS or not, there’s no denying the game sold very well - 2 million since its launch - and that those sales numbers warrant a sequel from Hudson. To that end the company announced this morning that DECA Sports 2 for the Wii is in development and will be released this fall.

The game will offer a variety of team sports using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck for up to four players, though what those sports are were not revealed at this time. While we wish Hudson good luck with the sequel, we hope that this new game will provide some refinement and enhancement above and beyond the first game. We’ll report to you when we have more information.
