And now for something completely different! In my Mega Happy Hudson Weekend GET! Trilogy I demo'd an upcoming game similar to Wii Sports in Japan which featured activities like Kart Racing, Beach Volleyball, Badminton, and 7 other alternative events. I overheard the marketing guys talking about localizing the name from its Japanese name to something else when it hits the states and offered the brains of the Destructoid Community to help them choose ... and they're totally letting me get away with this. So! With permission from Japan and the blessing of John (who is presently in the way to Thailand to have a funner weekend than all of us), here's your chance to determine the future name of this game. Here's the skinny:
Here’s your chance to name a game! We have an incredibly fun sports game coming out but don’t know what to call it. We need your help! Let us know what you think is the best choice.
- Sports Park
- Deca Sports
- World Sports Competition
- Sports Party
- We <3 Sports

You can also go straight to the horse's mouth and vote directly on their site. Here's more info from the press release:
You can experience intense competition across 10 different sporting events. Easy-to-pick up and play controls will make an athlete out of any one of your friends. Smash, spike and smoke other players in events like Badminton, Beach Volleyball, and even Kart Racing. The spirit of sports has never felt this good. Fully utilizing the Wii mote and Nunchuck’s controllers, the game holds nothing back from players feeling the adrenaline of these exciting sports games.
The game supports up to 4 people and has a number of different multi player modes. As is the case in most of Hudson’s games, multiplayer sets this game apart from the rest of the pack. Whether you’re up against the league championship or whether you have a bunch of friends over, this is the game to have.
I already know what some of you are going to say ... what if you think all of the above suck and you've got a brilliant alternative? Drop it in the comments and I'll pass it along. I believe
Paris Hilton's Please Die in a fire Olympics is already registered, so don't vote that one up.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Contest:
A title seemingly aimed at a young audience, where do kids go to have fun when they're not in front of their console > The Park - to play sports :) Ding!
Though I'd write-in Also, Jocks!
Thusly I'd go with Sports Park... I don't know why, just sounds nice.
or
"Super Happy Excuse For Waggles Make Good You"
Destructoid Sports
Sports Stadium
Booger Blaster Sports
Wii Sports: Hudson Edition
Sports Smash
Hudson's Sports Orgy
or i guess Deca Sports
The cute title fits the art style of the game; the others are too generic. Even if it was a joke title or whatever.
