'WiiPop' dance game hacks Wiimotes and Kinect into unlikely tryst
Whether by choice or by force, chances are good you've experienced a dancing game by now. Typically, these games ask users to mimic dance moves for points, but WiiPop, created by one Christian "Mio" Loclair, is completely freestyle. The game achieves this feat by incorporating both body-mounted ...

'Wii Remote Plus' shown on FlingSmash packaging
Though Nintendo's quirky, somewhat under-the-radar throwing game FlingSmash doesn't seem like the most likely partner for the launch of a new accessory, it would appear that's exactly how Nintendo is handling it. The GameStop listing for the Artoon-developed Wii game shows that it's bundled with a ...
