Dear Reader:
Deca Sports interview
A portion of a PureNintendo interview with Hudson…
PN: Many previews of Deca Sports have called it the “next Wii Sports”. What do you think of that comparison?
Hudson: Clearly we are inspired by the game, and some people have wondered how can we compete against a free game. In many ways, Wii Sports is considered to have opened up interest in casual sports. But it was just the appetizer. People enjoyed sampling it, but once they were done, they wanted more! So we made sure that we put together a compilation pack that had quite a number of more sports, more gameplay depth, more modes of play, so that gamers felt like they were really getting a game that had good value. When you compete against a free game, you really have to deliver on the goods. We haven’t announced our price yet, but I think gamers will be very pleased.
