Product Description

A tropical island has been invaded by enemies and cluttered with obstacles, and only your true aim and perfect pitch can save the day! Using the Wii MotionPlus accessory, you’ll precisely fling a ball at targets to smash your way-block by block, foe after foe-across eight zany worlds! Fling-and-smash action with Wii MotionPlus: Hit the ball as if swinging a racket, and then watch as it flies off and bounces around like a pinball, smashing everything in its path! You’ll fling and smash your way through sidescrolling worlds where enemies and barriers rush toward you! Second-player sidekick: A second player can join the action, controlling his own ball through the whole adventure, or just lending a helping hand for the more-advanced levels and most fiendish bosses! In addition, eight unlockable minigames can be played with two players. (Note: A second Wii Remote with its own Wii MotionPlus accessory is needed for two-player action.) Crazy island worlds: As you fling your way across the island, you’ll smash through beaches, underwater grottos, jungle treetops, and other tropical locations. But this is no walk in the park: these eight worlds, each with three levels and a boss battle, keep ramping up the challenge. Your ball will be shrunk down, fattened up, or transformed into heavy steel! Your aim will be thrown off by wind currents and ocean undertows, and you’ll face new targets that will push your flinging skills to the limit!

Introducing a 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 Plus, you'll fling Zip at targets to smash your way across eight colorful worlds. Use the Wii Remote Plus like a racket and watch Zip bounce around like a pinball to smash through oncoming barriers and enemies in this action side-scroller.

The Wii Remote Plus Controller

The Wii Remote Plus Controller is the new standard controller for the Wii gaming system and is included with your copy of FlingSmash. Combining the original accelerometer enabled motion-sensing abilities of the original iconic Wii Remote controller with with the expanded capabilities that were once only accessible through the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the compact Wii Remote Plus controller offers players precision motion controls all in one unit. Added benefits include the same game compatibility of the Wii Remote and full compatibility with all Wii Remote peripherals.

Key Game Features

Use the included Wii Remote Plus controller to precisely fling and smash your way through enemies and past barriers with a fun combination of racket motions and pinball game play. 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 Plus or by using a Wii Remote controller and Wii MotionPlus accessory (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.

Came for the controller, stayed for the game.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

The main reason I bought this package is I just got my limited Edition Red Wii. I actually ordered this to go along with it before my Wii arrived.

I've noticed that when it comes to packaged together Wii stuff, occasionally the Game+Control combo packs are exactly the same price as a control alone (occasionally cheaper), or in this case a small amount more. I needed a second Wii Remote Plus to go with the red one that came with my Wii. I figured I could gamble an extra $10 to try this game out.

So far I'm pleased.

This game is sort of a puzzle game - even though so far I haven't actually found any real puzzles to solve - but action enough to not be one. I have a feeling this game is going to be a hit with my casual gaming family and friends. I haven't played it in two player mode yet, but I expect it to work out quite well and I expect the above mentioned people to love it. I'll report back if I find out otherwise.

Both left and right hand modes are selectable, I don't know how that will work with a righty and lefty trying to play together, but I assume one is going to have to bite the bullet and hold the Wii Remote in the wrong hand.

Verdict - yes it was worth the extra $10 on top of the Wii Remote Plus. It's better to think of this as "Wii Remote Plus with Bonus Fling Smash" than it is to think of it as "Fling Smash with bonus Wii Remote Plus" as it's sold. Base your purchase decision on the price of the remote not the game itself unless you've already played the game.

If you don't need the extra Wii Remote Plus I really can't recommend spending this amount of money for the game alone unless these types of games are your thing. The game itself feels like a really well done mobile phone game adapted to the big screen. Not worth the full price, but well worth the extra $10.

---Update----
I played Fling Smash nearly all the way through this past weekend with my daughter. My seven year old loves it, she requested it repeatedly this past weekend. She fully grasped how to play it, it's very simple, I'm sure a kid younger than her could grasp it just as well.

I stand by what I said earlier, don't expect a lot of depth, it's just a fun simple one or two player game. Still worth the $10 extra, but not a whole lot more.

---Another Update---
I was babysitting last week, the boy I was babysitting loved the game. We made it all the way through in a couple of hours. My daughter still loves playing it. Right now this is the most requested Wii game in my home for the 12 and under crowd. Again, I still don't consider it a "serious game" for serious gamers.

Now that this combo is cheaper than the remote alone there's no reason to buy a black Wii Remote Plus any other way.

If the price is below $39.99 the game is free

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2010

Many people are getting the limited edition red Wii system (including the Mario Brothers game which is about $39.99 separately on Amazon)this Christmas shopping season and need another modern Wii controller (with Motion plus built into the remote and not a separate add on). I got another decent game thrown into the $199.99 Red Wii bundle (Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games) at Toys R' Us on a promo but that is beside the point. If you get the Fling Smash / Wii motion plus integrated controller for less than the price of that updated remote alone ($39.00) you are saving money on the remote separately and getting the game for free. I got a deal on Amazon about a week ago for about $7 off the list price above. Supposedly, there was a gold box deal on December 4th that dropped the price another $10 below that. Currently, around December 9th the price is ABOVE the separate remote price but still below the retail price of $49.99 (which means the game is costing you about $10 at that price point). Target had a Black Friday weekend deal for this for $39.99 ($10 off list) and you were breaking even for the remote at that price. I returned one of those when I was able to save another $8 off that price. The new Wii systems selling now (the red one or the black or white one) all have the Wii motion plus integrated controller so don't buy the Wii play bundle with the older remote (where you have to buy the motion plus attachment separately and the remote is also more bulky this way).

Wait for the price to drop below $35 again hopefully on Amazon to get the Flingsmash gave free and save at least $5 on the remote alone ....

Nice package, great deal

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2010

Verified Purchase

If you're looking to pick up some additional Wii Remotes, this package is a great way to go. Not only do you get the new sleek Wii Remote Plus (with Motion Plus built-in, thus eliminating the need for costly and bulky Motion Plus attachments), but you also get a fun little game. FlingSmash isn't going to be an earth shattering gaming experience for anyone, but it's a fun little game with a simple but effective control scheme that utilizes the precision of motion plus controls in some interesting ways. If you like games that put a fresh spin on classic breakout-style gameplay, this should be right up your alley, and the kids like it too.

Prices fluctuate, of course, but right now, this bundle is actually cheaper than just buying a Wii remote by itself. Not only do you get the Wii Remote Plus, but you also get a very nice little game with it, all for less than a new Wii remote (it's cheaper than a stand-alone Wii Remote Plus and also cheaper than a stand-alone standard Wii Remote without motion plus built in). In short, this is a great deal. If you don't like the game or purchase multiple copies for multiple remotes, you can just trade the game(s) in and get some money back to use toward buying yourself some other games or you can give the game(s) to friends or family members who also own Wiis.

All that said, I pre-ordered my bundle at the original full price, and I still feel as though I got my money's worth. :)

Actually, it's a good game.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

Let me start by saying what this game is not about:

- shaking your Wii remote nervously
- playing like the tennis game in "Wii Sports"
- making the ball bounce just for the fun of it

There's a good chance that if you play in any of those or in similar ways your Wii Remote Plus is going to stop working properly, or you will start failing to complete the levels.

"FlingSmash" requires calm and concentration, and a little bit of strategy.

I think the idea works, and very well, and it is well developed. Levels are fun to play (most of them) and present different mechanics so is not always the same. There is also a multiplayer mode that is even more fun, and a collection of minigames that you have to unlock.

And don't worry if you are left-handed: there's an option for you.

What surprises me the most is how well the motion controls work. You don't even have to calibrate the MotionPlus sensor when you start playing like in other games because it calibrates automatically when you point at the "sensor bar". You have an indicator at the bottom right corner of the screen that tells you how the game is interpreting your movements, and it's pretty accurate. If for some reason (read above) it starts doing weird things, just point the remote at the "sensor bar" for a second and it will correct itself.

That's how every game with motion controls should be.

I have never complained about the calibration of the MotionPlus because I don't find it so annoying like other people do, but after playing "FlingSmash" I'm sure things could have been done better.

I understand why this game was replaced by "Wii Play Motion" as the incentive to buy a Wii Remote Plus, because "FlingSmash" is not very friendly for casual playing. Also, I believe some people think this is just cheap entertainment and don't take the time they need to understand how it actually works (and I'm talking specially about professional reviewers). Sometimes it can be a little bit frustrating when you get too excited while playing, and that's why I don't give it a 5 star rating in "fun", but the game doesn't deserve the harsh criticism it has received.

So the game is good, but... is it worth the price? It includes a Wii Remote Plus, so I think yes. If you are not interested in a new Wii Remote but are bored of shooters, adventures and action games that are all essentially the same, then I would also say yes, this is worth the price. For the rest, probably no.

Personally, I love this game and wish to see a continuation. It's funny, it's colorful and, overall, a very positive experience.

Fling Mash plus wiii remote

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

Bought this as I wanted a spare wii remote and it made sense to buy Fling Smash to get the remote. The game is not that exciting and held the attention of my daughter for about 30mins with me playing with her. She has never asked for it on again, and I think that speaks volumes in itself! However, if you need an extra remote, this is not a bad choice as you may like the game. It was very repetive and you just seemed to have to wave the remote to do the game, no thought required really, Not enough excitement to please an eight year old!!

"free" Wii-mote+ but the game has a surprising twise! (LEFTIES!!!)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

Initially purchased to make sure we have enough wii-motes with Motion-plus built in, however...

My 5 year old (whom this was purchased for as a birthday present) is left handed...
considering that this is a side scrolling game requiring the user to "flick" their Wii-mote in the appropriate direction to control the main character, I was very, very pleasantly surprised that it fully supports lefties!!!

Simple but addictive gameplay - it's enjoyable but could possibly be a little more "engaging" for the potential age group it seems to be targeted at.

much cheaper than getting an official Wii-mote plus.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this as it was a cheaper alternative than buying an official one on its own, seeing as they have risen to an incredibly expensive price point now that the WiiU is out (all they have done is changed the logo on it?). I didn't know much about the game either but it turned out to be a really enjoyable one and makes good use of the motion plus.

If your after a new Wii motion plus controller or you have just got a WiiU and no Wii-motes I highly recommend buying this with flingsmash than buying one on it's own as it is much cheaper and you get a game with it too (just add a cheap venom nunchuk and your away).

I only got it for the controller!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

The game is rubbish! But that's not why I bought this item. I needed a motion plus controller for Zelda and this was on offer. It worked out to the same price (maybe cheaper) than getting a controller on its own, and served as a 'gift' to neighbour kids who would appreciate a free game like this. I kept the wiimote of course ;).... The kids have their fling smash game and seem to be happy. THIS IS A MOTION PLUS CONTROLLER! If you don't need the motion plus there are alternatives!
