and the Wii Remote, it was a fun minigame collection that earned accolades from
a plethora of mainstream media outlets and fueled the hype machine that helped

publisher Hudson Soft apparently hasn't been so quick to forget the game that
spearheaded Nintendo's assault on your grandmother's living room. Deca Sports,
