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.

“Alien Crush Returns gives players single player scores to obsess over and multiplayer scores to fight over” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. “Pinball is about perfection and the pursuit of a high score. The game’s online multiplayer features will not only meet this requirement, but also satisfy the demand of Wii gamers for more online competition.”

This unique sci-fi take on pinball includes enemies, power-ups, bonus stages and hidden surprises. For players who are confident in their alien crushing skills, they can go online to play against friends to see who can get the higher score! Alien Crush Returns is the only pinball game for WiiWare that lets gamers compete head to head online. In addition, the game includes online leaderboards for score-obsessed pinball players.

Alien Crush Returns is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
