I’m guessing most of the gaming public hasn’t heard of Cosmic Smash since it barely made a splash in Japan where it was released in arcades and later on the Dreamcast. Cosmic Smash is a futuristic tennis game where your opponent is a wall of blocks, not another player. You simply “smash” the ball back and forth until you break the blocks. This video will probably give a better description of the game so if you haven’t heard of it before take a look.
Surprisingly, Sega just trademarked Cosmic Smash in North America. The original game was released back in 2001. Why would Sega trademark Cosmic Smash? Could they be working a new Cosmic Smash game? Perhaps, for the Wii, which seems like the obvious home for such a title?

I’ve played the import of this numerous times, very fun game.
i like this game. it’s hard to justify the price tag though. i think it would work best as a downloadable on xbla, but it will probably go the same route as house of the dead and ghost squad and end up a 30 dollar wii title. i like the game, but 30 is too much to replace it with a waggle version. if it goes wiiware, which is a future option i always seem to forget about, then it’ll likely be worth it.
[…] Cosmic Smash uscì nel 2001 su Dreamcast, sviluppato da SEGA, ed era una rivistazione dello squash (tennis contro una parete, in breve&grossolanamente) in chiave futuristica. Il gioco non venne mai pubblicato fuori dal mercato giapponese, eppure SEGA ha appena registrato il marchio per l’America: se un remake/nuovo episodio è in via di sviluppo, speriamo non siano così pazzi da sbagliare piattaforma!

Wii seems like the perfect choice for it’s gameplay. not so sure about wiiware though; will they contemplate the service for that end?

If this come to wiiware with good remote control it could be a big seller.
