Span Smasher is a game where you play as a bouncing piece of fruit, and you use the Wii Remote to swipe, slap and knock him around the screen and blast through barriers built of breakable blocks.
This is a Wii MotionPlus-only game, developed by Artoon and set to be published by Nintendo sometime in the to-be-announced future. But however long the wait is, it might be worth it -- this little design is simple, but can get addictive.
GamesRadar writes: "There were only a few playable levels on show but it was easy enough to quickly get a feel of Span Smasher. Whether the gameplay will be varied enough and develop enough challenges in later stages to make this worth a full-price purchase remains to be seen (it feels a bit WiiWare-ish), but it's good to see some inventive uses for MotionPlus".
NWR wasn't sure what to expect when they first started playing this game. It's a 2D (optional) MotionPlus title where players control the main character, Smasher, with gestures of the Wii Remote.
NWR writes: "Span Smasher was first revealed at Nintendo's Fall Media Summit last year. Since then, there has been no word on its American localization. Nintendo has finally released new details on the quirky title developed by Artoon."
