Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo throws FlingSmash for June

Yes without any big announcment and glory Nintendo announced FlingSmash for NorthAmerica this June

Introducing a New Spherical Smash-Hit Hero FlingSmash™ combines the hands-on fun of tennis with the nonstop action and instant gratification of pinball. When the tropical Suthon Island is invaded by the evil Omminus, the ball-shaped hero, Zip, is summoned to save the day. Using the Wii Remote controller with the Wii MotionPlus accessory, you’ll fling Zip at targets to smash your way across eight colorful worlds. Use the Wii Remote like a racket and watch Zip bounce around like a pinball to smash through oncoming barriers and enemies in this action-sidescroller.

* Attach the Wii MotionPlus accessory to your Wii Remote controller to precisely fling and smash your way through enemies and past barriers with a fun combination of racket motions and pinball gameplay. Hit Zip and watch as he bounces around like a pinball, smashing everything in his path.
* A second player can join the action using an additional Wii Remote controller and Wii MotionPlusaccessory (each sold separately) to control Zip’s friend, Pip.
* During the game, Zip and Pip travel through eight fast-action side-scrolling worlds, each culminating in a boss battle. Each level offers a unique challenge as Zip might be shrunk down, fattened up or turned into a heavy steel ball. Other levels turn the action on its head to scroll vertically instead of horizontally.
* The vividly colored worlds include sandy beaches, lush tropical treetops and even underwater grottos.
* FlingSmash has eight unlockable mini-games and eight extra levels – all playable by one or two players.
* For left-handed players, the game will flip and position Zip on the left side of the screen.

The game looks very interesting and very entertaining. $30 makes this seem like a steal. :P



Pixel Art can be fun.

I like that they have some budget titles in the mix too... I hope they create a motion plus bundle for this.



Looks like it could be fun arcade-y feeling game, and I am liking the whole 30 bucks thing.

Wow, thirty bucks? Nice



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Sin and Punishment 2, Metroid Other M, and FlingSmash all releasing in June in North America? That is a lot of first party titles for one month, I'm surprised they didn't space them out more. They must be very confident in their second half lineup.



Just a little correction the game is scheduled for July 1st according to Gamestop. Still quite early



Damn. They better have an absolutely killer 2nd half to afford all this crowding.

 

Though i probably wouldn't have time to buy this until August anyway, since most of June will be spent playing Galaxy 2, and most of July spent playing Other M, then pick up Sin and Punishment 2 in mid-to-late July.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

There's only one big name in your list. And it isn't even all that big saleswise.
