Deca Synchronized Swimming, and more new sports
The first Deca Sports, while selling well, wasn't a perfect game, generally failing to achieve the (high) standards Wii owners expect from their sports minigame collections. Maybe Hudson will work to improve the quality of the gameplay in the new sequel, Deca Sporta 2. Or maybe they'll just present a bunch of new sports in the same way.
All we can tell for now is that there are new sports involved. The latest set of screens reveals ice hockey, speed skating, tennis, mogul skiing, and, amusingly, synchronized swimming. We look forward to seeing how Deca handles tennis, a sport that is already pretty well done on the Wii. And, of course, we look forward to seeing how the game makes a single-player game out of something like synchronized swimming, the whole point of which is that it is done by multiple people. That's what makes it hard! Maybe you control one member of a team and have to mirror the other swimmers' movements.

Why is this game being hyped?.. I was deceived into buying the first one by you guys and the way you talked about how good it looked for an entire year.
Its weird, but I used to trust this website to dig the good stuff from all the Wii crap that's been released.. that was in the past.
Please stop with the shovelware.

Didn't the first Deca Sports outsell Metroid Prime 3?
This just proves that some people don't deserve to live.
And anyone who had access to sites like this and IGN and STILL bought this game should probably have their entire family put down..... honestly there are monkeys smarter than this.

I don't know about IGN, but this website actually promoted/praised Deca Sports as a successor to Wii Sports... Look at past articles and you'll see what I mean.
And btw I also bought (and beat) Metroid Prime3...and ended up selling both of them eventually.
