Deca Sports for Wii Packs 10 Mini Games

Ever since Nintendo revitalized the concept of mini games with Wii Sports, developers have seemingly leapt at the chance to include multiple small games in one title on the Wii platform. Hudson Entertainment will be the latest to use that formula with Deca Sports, set for release in summer 2008. The game will include ten different sports: beach volleyball, snowboard cross, badminton, basketball, curling, figure skating, archery, supercross, soccer and kart racing.

“With Deca Sports we wanted to offer a sports package that is unrivaled in terms of sheer number of available sports,” said Hudson CEO John Greiner. “More importantly, the game is easy to play, but offers layers of depth that even hardcore sports enthusiasts will love to play.”

All ten sports will offer single player and multiplayer gameplay, as well as training and practice modes. And in case you were wondering how exactly the company managed to make a game out of figure skating, playing will involve keeping pace with music and timing jumps and spins accordingly. Guitar Hero on ice, anyone?

3 Xbox Game Pass titles you should play this weekend (May 10-12)

Chai in Hi-Fi Rush.

This may feel like an odd weekend to play Xbox Game Pass because it has been such a devastating week for Xbox. It shuttered four studios that fell under Bethesda's umbrella, with Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks being the most notable closures. Although it can be tough to enjoy playing games during a time when the game industry is so clearly hurting, it also offers us an opportunity to look back at what these developers created and appreciate hard work. That's how I chose the three titles I'm spotlighting today.

First is the last game from Tango Gameworks, a critically acclaimed rhythm-action game that had the potential to be a new franchise for Microsoft had it not shut the studio down. Then there's a Tango Gameworks title that's more in line with the studio's horror roots and shows just how varied the studio's game output could be. While Arkane Austin's reputation has been sullied by Redfall, the last entry on this list is a much better game from the company. It's a sci-fi immersive sim that played right into the studio's greatest strengths before it chased the multiplayer game trend.

Jackbox Naughty Pack is the M-rated party game you’ve been waiting for

A still from the Jackbox Naughty Pack announcement trailer.

There won’t be a new Jackbox Party Pack game this year; instead, we’ll be getting a mature-rated game titled Jackbox Naughty Pack.

Jackbox Games made this announcement during Monday’s ID@Xbox Showcase with a short comedic trailer. Not much is being revealed about this package just yet, but Jackbox Games is confirming that this will be the studio's first M-rated title. It will contain three raunchy games for players to pick between that are “full of spicy surprises and maybe even some familiar faces.” Jackbox Party Pack games typically feature five games, so hopefully, these Jackbox Naughty Pack games have more heft to them to make up for there being fewer of them.
