Amazon's latest Deal of the Day is once again a Wii game, this time Hudson's cute sports minigame collection Deca Sports for $19.98. If you've been searching for a Wii curling game to play with your friends, with occasional breaks for figure skating, this is the game for you. We can't offer you an unqualified recommendation: our impressions of four of the games were quite positive, but reviews have been less than enthusiastic. It's fairly popular, for what that's worth!

We can never talk about Deca Sports without mentioning its super-upbeat, catchy theme song. The game came out in May and we still get the song stuck in our heads!

As promised, Amazon kicked off their all-Wii Gold Box deals last night, with $25.98 copies of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The Gold Box deals so far include:

• $10 Namco Museum Remix (gone, but that's probably okay!)
• $40 Disney Sing It bundle with mic (expired, but that's probably okay!)
  
• $10 Trauma Center: New Blood (out of stock!)
• $20 We Ski (gone!)
• $35 Wario Land Shake It! (already claimed!)
• $50 DDR Hottest Party 2 bundle (expired)
  
• $30 High School Musical 3: Senior Year Dance

The announced Gold Box deals aren't the only discounted Wii offerings at Amazon today. As part of their "15 Days, 15 Deals" promotion, they've marked down all kinds of Wii games and accessories to ridiculous prices. We've wanted to buy a Balance Board cover for a while, but held off out of an interest in not feeling stupid for paying twenty dollars for one. $2.98 sounds about right! The promotion also includes $40 Active Life: Outdoor Challenge, $20 We Love Golf, and discounts on the Wii Fit Energy Pack (see our impressions!), replacement Wii AC adapters, and maraca shells.

And hey, while you're at Amazon, why not pick up today's MP3 Daily Deal, The Muppets' Green and Red Christmas, for 99 cents?

Not even a week after Black Friday, Amazon has announced another pile of Wii deals. Tomorrow, starting at 12AM Pacific time, the retailer's "Gold Box" will feature Wii deals exclusively.

If the event follows previous Gold Box theme days, the first deal will be the Deal of the Day at midnight, which will last throughout the day or until stock runs out. Additional discounts will then be revealed every couple of hours, with a one-hour time limit and a constrained supply. Which means that, if you even have any cash left over from Black Friday, and you want some Wii stuff, you may have to hover around the computer tomorrow!

Even though the Wii reigned supreme on eBay, other retailer sites saw crazy demand for Nintendo's fitness package, Wii Fit. For major retail site Amazon.com, the Wii and Wii Fit were the top-selling video game items throughout the day on Friday. On eBay-owned Shopping.com, the top searches were for Wii Fit and the Nintendo Wii. And during a season that is expected to generate $29 billion, that's a lot of green for Nintendo.

Any of you snag a Wii or Wii Fit to gift someone this holiday season?
