'101-in-1 Sports Megamix' gets release date

'101-in-1 Sports Megamix' for Nintendo DS, a collection of 101 addictive sports mini-games that anyone can enjoy, has scored a new release date of 7 September.

The game features a wide assortment of disciplines like bowling, boxing, volleyball, tennis, basketball and unique sports you may not recognise right away, such as caber tossing, traction kiting, capoeira, and street luge.

"Do you know how hard it is to fit 101 different sports games on a single cartridge?" asked an out-of-breath Aram Jabbari of Atlus.

"We had a hundred of them lined up and ready for the crammage process until someone said: 'Where's the 101th sport?' and we suddenly realised it had run away. It made sense, seeing as how it was one of the track and field games. We can't cram until we have them all, so it'll take a little more time, but cram we will, I can promise you that."

Players of all ages will earn points by successfully completing challenges and spending their points to reveal dozens of new sports games, striving to unlock more and more each time.

The games also allow players to challenge a friend to multiplayer competition through local wireless play.
