Wii releases this week: Deca Sports edition

by David Hinkle { May 12th 2008 at 11:00AM }

Hudson's attempt at an accessible game full of sports is finally hitting shelves this week. We're anxious to see how it does, considering we found our preview build that Hudson sent over pretty fun. On top of that, the title looks like it might be a great match for playing with some friends. Of course, the $29.99 price point doesn't hurt Hudson's chances for success, either!

This week's Wii releases are:

We Ski
Deca Sports
Castle of Shikigami III
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

So ... who's picking up what?

NONE OF THE ABOVE - not interested in too many of these and i have a huge back catalog I need to pick-up I'm thinking wario ware smooth moves and twilight princess

Mike D @ May 12th 2008 1:20PM

Warioware is fun. But honestly after about a week, you'll never touch it again. I'd consider renting as its defintely something you should experience, but by no means worth $50 IMO.

TP on the other hand is well worth your time and money!

I play wario ware smooth moves alot when people come over and we enjoy it enough.....I just need my own copy - might wait for a price drop!

WarioWare = One of the Ultimate Multiplayer Games

WarioWare + 4 Players = Insanity
WarioWare + 3 Players = Craziness
WarioWare + 2 Players = Hilarious
WarioWare + 1 Player = ... get some friends. :P

Deca Sports seems to be of interest but I still don't thing I will get anything new. I am of course going to be downloading some WiiWare titles as soon as I free up some system memory.

My husband is buying Deca Sports.

redster68 @ May 12th 2008 11:40AM

I'm getting We Ski... Now, If I can snag "Wii Fit" next week,I'll be set..... (Is Wii Fit coming out the 19th or 21st? I have seen conflicting reports.)

Blue_Falcon @ May 12th 2008 12:45PM

This week is dedicated to me playing WiiWare, getting further (and possibly even beating) in Okami, and maybe get Boom Blox, and wait for Wii Fit next week.

I wonder if We Ski is any fun with the balance board (it uses it, right?)

Mike D @ May 12th 2008 1:18PM

I thought wii fit was coming out this week, today to be precise, guess not?

Completely uniterested in deca sports after the god awful review in IGN, heck even your preview showed many flaws in the game.

For me, I'll probably buy Mario Kart either this week or next (kinda busy with RL right now).

rikki @ May 12th 2008 1:53PM

Shikigami III and a classic controller, hell yes.

The second Shiki was so good (even if its localization was SO BAD) that I went out and bought the first one (even though its localization was EVEN WORSE) after playing it once.

I'm glad a company that doesn't completely suck is releasing Shiki 3.

Been waiting for Deca Sports for months. Will certainly be picking this up, and for $29.99 it's a no-brainer. Mini games still rule the Wii!

Mike @ May 12th 2008 3:40PM

For me, none of these sound that intriguing. Will probably get some WiiWare though.
BTW why isnt there wiiware titles posted here??

SoshiKitai @ May 12th 2008 3:44PM

Because it already has a topic of its own:
http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2008/05/12/wiiware-goes-live/

Besides, they never post VC games on "Wii releases this week" either - so why expect WiiWare?

Moshiko @ May 12th 2008 3:44PM

We ski should be cool,but I am not sure if I will buy it, Ishould see some gameplay vidoes of it ..

SoshiKitai @ May 12th 2008 3:46PM

So far, we were given these:

I hate these library computers so much... the reply button doesn't work very well.

Anywho, the above post was supposed to be directed to Moshiko.

Maattp @ May 12th 2008 5:13PM

I'm not getting any of these games. I'll buy something good like mk wii

BoKnows @ May 16th 2008 12:47PM

I'll be buying Deca Sports, it looks fun to me. Then again, I like all the Wii "mini-game" games: Wii Sports, Wii Play, Game Party, etc...
We have a Fit reserved and we'll be picking up We Ski at the same time.

Patiently, I'm still waiting for hockey, and no, not the Kidz one.
