Deca Sports (Deca Sporta in Japan, Sports Island in Europe) is a sports video game for the Wii developed by Hudson Soft. It is similar to Wii Sports in that it is a collection of ten different sports simulations controlled with the Wii Remote.
The game was released in Japan in March 19, 2008 and is scheduled for release in the rest of the world later in the year.[3] In late 2007 Hudson conducted a poll to determine a new title for the Western release.[4][5]

[edit] Sports
Deca Sports features 10 different sports listed here, each of which having its own control scheme specific to the Wii Remote.
- Archery: Hold B on the Wii Remote, then pull the remote backwards to draw your bow, arrow nocked. This sport requires a steady hand to be accurate.
- Badminton: The Wii remote acts as the racket. Swing with the right timing to hit the shuttle back to your opponent's court. You can also place your shots depending on which direction you flick your wrist.
- Basketball: The Wii Remote and Nunchuck are both used, with the nunchuck used for player movement.
- Beach volleyball
- Curling: To push the stone down the ice, first hold the B button down, then move the Wii Remote forward at the right time to throw. Twisting the remote to the left or right will add additional "curl" to the stone. As the stone moves down the ice, you can sweep the ice in front of it by wiggling the Wii Remote back and forth.
- Figure skating: Follow the set path with the Nunchuk's analog stick, and flick the Wii Remote close to the center point of the trick circles that appear to perform tricks.
- Football (soccer): The Wii Remote and Nunchuck are both used, with the nunchuck used for player movement.
- Kart racing: Control the kart by holding the remote horizontally. The 2 button acts as gas, and the 1 button is brakes. Drive by tilting the Wii Remote left and right.
- Snowboard Cross: The Wii Remote is pointed at the screen, and turns are executed by twisting the controller left and right.
- Supercross: Control your motorcycle by holding the remote horizontally. The 2 button acts as gas, and the 1 button is brakes. Control the pitch of your bike by tilting the remote forward or back, to minimize your speed loss when landing jumps. You can execute tricks when jumping by waggling the remote.[7][8][9]
[edit] Game Modes
Deca Sports features a number of different game modes:
- Open Match: A quick start match that allows you to immediately jump in to any of the 10 available sport events.
- Tournament Mode: Tackle one individual event to become the champion at that particular sport.
- Deca League: Take on a number of different teams at every sport available in the game.
- Deca Challenge: Test yourself at each sport in specialized events designed to hone your skill and control.[10]
[edit] Teams
Deca Sports does not feature the use of Miis. Instead, eight different teams are available for selection in the various sporting events. Each team is made up of small, medium, and large players of both genders. Team member size becomes more important during Deca League, where playing one team member for too long will result in fatigue and decreased performance.[11]
