PREVIEWS: Span Smasher
« on: June 02, 2009, 07:20:00 PM »
Tennis and Pinball are combined to create a unique experience.

 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.    


Span Smasher stars a floating ball with a lot of personality. His paradise home is being threatened, so Span must use his bouncing abilities to destroy barriers.    


The game is offered up in stages, each with a goal of collecting pearls. Once three of them are found, players are able to move on to the boss battle of that particular level. Span will also have different abilities and characteristics such as the ability to grow larger and split into different balls. As players scroll through the scenery new obstacles and rewards will appear, making players plan their shots for better advantage of their surroundings. If Span remains motionless for too long he might get eaten by the multi-headed dragon in hot pursuit.    


Finally, Span Smasher will make use of the Wii MotionPlus for greater precision in the playerÂ’s swing.    


Span Smasher still has no release date.

I was surprised that this didn't even appear in video form. It even uses MotionPlus to boot.

Oh well, I am happy that the game will be released in the US and that Nintendo hasn't forgotten about it.

Yeah is is nice that it is being released in the states. Did it get a name changed from when it was first announced?

I'm happy with thinking pokepal148 is just eating a stick of butter. It seems about right for him. I don't need no stinking facts.

The description makes it sort of sound like an expansion of a break-the-block game. Was there a trailer shown for this game? I'd like to see it in action.

I'm not sure Maxi, but I think it was the same title back at the October announcement.

Heh, the summary sounds a bit like Niki Rock & Ball setting wise.
