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.
