FlingSmash

FlingSmash introduces you to the varicolored world of Zip, a curious little critter who looks like a cross between a tropical fruit and a tennis ball. When his home, Suthon Island, is assaulted by the foreboding villain Omminus, it’s up to you to use the Wii Remote and Wii Motion Plus to smack, smash, and fling Zip through various stages collecting items and defeating dark minions. (The game can also be played as or with a second player as Pip, Zip’s female counterpart; both characters are functionally identical, except one presumably has a vagina.)

It’s a game that requires the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the Wii Remote. This shouldn’t be an issue, as the new Wii Remote Plus -- Nintendo’s new controller that combines MotionPlus with a Remote -- ships with every copy of the game. The idea is to use the Remote to carefully fling Zip in a desired direction -- like a tennis or ping-pong ball -- generally to smash through blocks, elude enemies, or collect items.
