I feel bad for not having already listed FlingSmash along with all the other side-scrolling joy Nintendo managed to haul out to the show this week. Plus the game has one of those great pitches, specifically that this is what you get when combining tennis and pinball.
On the list of small design tidbits you don’t hear very often, FlingSmash also sympathizes with left-handed players and the game can position play from the left side of the screen – which would mess me up, but I’m certain some southpaw reading this will appreciate the thought.
Keep in mind you’ll need to get yourself some Wii MotionPlus if you haven’t already, which after this week is getting a lot harder to avoid.
Catch some video and art after the break.
Own two WM+ units so far (WS Resort and Red Steel 2 bundles) so I’m set. I still can’t find a solid release date and price point for this game. Any help there Jamie?

They’ve got it listed as the 2010 Holiday season, but so is a lot of other stuff. No idea on the price just yet, kinda feels like it should be under $40 sans a wiimotion plus bundle, but that’s just my opinion.

Groovy. I should support this game and buy it just for that little design tid-bit! More developers should get with the program! The game looks pretty neat, regardless of awesome lefty options, so I’ll be sure to keep this on my radar! Thanks Jamie.
