Not much was known about Artoon-developed “FlingSmash” until the recent Nintendo summit, despite being announced over a year ago. This Wii MotionPlus controlled game invites you to collect power-ups, break blocks and build up your score in side-scrolling levels by controlling a little yellow character.
The game is being published by Nintendo and though there is no solid release date, it is expected in the second half of this year.

Nintendo are happy with sales of the sequel to the highest selling game of all time. Wii Sports Resort has sold more than 500,000 units during it’s first 9 days on sale in North America and has sold about the same in its homeland. Not bad, but not surprising eh?
This is great news for the future of Wii MotionPlus however as the more that are sold, the more the peripheral will be supported in the future.

NPD data for June 2009 show sales of the Wii MotionPlus add-on in North America have come mainly from the ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10‘ game bundle of which 205,000 from the 374,000 total sold were part of. That means 164,000 of the $20 peripheral were sold on their own.
This probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise seeing as Tiger is the best Wii MotionPlus enabled game out there and a solid EA franchise, however with the launch of Wii Sports Resort we imagine sales of the add-on will be boosted at a much higher rate than Tiger can achieve.
The excellent golf game sold a total 272,400 copies and only 67,400 of those were for the game on its own.
