Decathlon 2012

System: Nintendo DSi, Nintendo 3DS Release date: 26/07/2012

Important information

As of 27/03/2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

The world record of 9039 points is now shaking at its roots.

The time has come for a competition in the premiere athletic discipline – the decathlon. After hard training, only the most versatile athlete will win. Every error will be mercilessly penalised and the chance to create a new world record will vanish away in the London fog.

10 games in one: 100m sprint, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m run, 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin throw, and finally the exhausting 1500m.

In each discipline you control your athlete simply with the stylus, but you won’t succeed without proper timing, speed and stamina management. Results achieved in individual disciplines are stored in a table and compared with the best world scores. The total score in the decathlon is calculated using a real-world formula, thus it is possible to accurately compare your score not only to the world record but also to the other athletes participating in the competition, including up to three friends with whom you take turns during the game.

Enjoy a stylish design which naturally complements the great playability of original sports games, but this time you don't have to worry about breaking your joystick. During the track events you have to move the stylus with the correct frequency and not waste your stamina. When jumping, you have to attain the necessary speed and time your take-off correctly, and when throwing you won’t succeed without totally concentrating on your technique.

Only one athlete will get the gold medal for their country!

  • 10 disciplines, a training mode and a competition for the gold medal
  • A visual assistant for easier training in the disciplines
  • Accurate control using the stylus
  • A selection of 32 national representations
  • Game for 1 to 4 players
