If this actually turns out well, with the budget pricing, it is a no brainer purchase for me.

[Kairon]

This is sweet. And cheap. And awesome.

Figure skating people. Curling. Those two sports alone are worth $30.

[Mario]

Hell yes, hope the freeloader still works when this comes out and i'll definitely import. It's going to be a budget $80 in Aus.

[KDR_11k]

It's gonna be budget 60 Euros here.

[Infernal Monkey]

Man, there's a lot of neat budget $30 US Wii games coming up.

[NWR_pap64]

With titles like Deca Sports Wii Sports 2 shall never be a reality...

But really, Deca Sports looks awesome and a really great "sequel" to Wii Sports. At 30 bucks its a must buy for me!

People here seem really positive, are you sure this won't just suck like all the other cheap and crappy sports games for the Wii?

[Infernal Monkey]

Hudson's good people, and Japanese impressions have been pretty thumbs up-ish.

[KDR_11k]

Hudson is mostly shovelware and bad rehashes.

And Kororinpa.

You're confusing them with DDI and Phoenix games .

But seriously, Hudson may not be a fantastic company, but they make very fun and solid games. Even the Mario Party games shine on occasion. So please, don't confuse them for other third parties.

Just wanted to let you all know that NWR just got a demo of the game that includes 4 of the 10 sports.  I'm not sure who will be writing a preview and/or impressions yet (it may be me), but expect them on the site soon.

Oh man, that's awesome. I look forward to hearing some sort of impressions on the game.

Why don't you give some impression of the game, Mr. Staffer?
