I typically avoid posting GameStop related release dates, but a listing for The Conduit caught my eye. Way back when, High Voltage Software confirmed that the game would be shipping in March 2009. According to the GameStop listing though, the game will be out in May instead. This may be nothing more than an error on GameStop’s part. However, it is reasonable that High Voltage needs some extra development time to polish the title. Either way, I’m sure we’ll hear word about the game’s official release date in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!


Wow, quite a nice character to add if you ask me! Now all we need is Amaterasu from Okami.

“Maybe not Team Ninja specifically [have not created a game for Wii], but with Tecmo as a whole, we’ve been supporting the platform from the very beginning. Internally at the company, we have a lot of knowledge, and I think we’ve mastered most of the components to make a very compelling and entertaining product using the console. We will continue to work in that path. We have a lot of Wii console fans within the company, so hopefully there’s something that we can work on.” – Hitoshi Hasegawa, Team Ninja producer

It’s Back and It’s Better Than Ever, Now with Online Multiplayer!

HUDSON ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES
THE RELEASE OF ALIEN CRUSH RETURNS FOR Wii

It’s Back and It’s Better Than Ever, Now with Online Multiplayer!

REDWOOD CITY, CA – November 3, 2008 – Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm of HUDSON SOFT, today announced that it has officially launched Alien Crush Returns, available for digital download on WiiWare™ for Wii™. Alien Crush Returns is a sci-fi pinball game based on the classic TurboGrafx-16 series from Hudson Entertainment.

The timeless brand is reborn on WiiWare with an entirely new sci-fi take on pinball including bonus stages and power-ups. Players never know what kind of bizarre creatures will appear in the next board. In extraordinary pinball fashion, the game offers gameplay spanning two screens, providing players a lot of real estate to rack up points, multipliers and bonuses. The game is played across multiple boards, all of which feature an eerie sci-fi landscape with enemies that try to prevent players from obtaining pinball perfection.


Since the release of the DS in 2004, Nintendo has attracted new gamers remarkably well with casual games. A ton of people have began to play video games, something which was never thought to be possible. Even with grandmas playing video games, Nintendo’s David Yarnton feels as though the company’s job is still not complete.

“We really have only scratched the surface in terms of the number of potential users still out there. As long as there are still people who do not play video games, then we still have a lot of work to do…We’re doing all we can to ensure we get as much stock to as many stores and into the hands of as many people as possible this Christmas.”
