Hudson Announces the Return of Bomberman and Sequel to TurboGrafx’s Alien Crush for WiiWare

Hudson Entertainment announced a double whammy of sorts today concerning games for WiiWare. For starters, they are bringing the Bomberman back to the Wii via an all-new adventure complete with multiplayer battles, Mii support and eight-person online play with Bomberman Blast.

Players can compete in solo missions and as part of a team to battle against other players online using their Miis in the Bomberman Blast arena where up to four players can compete in tournaments to see who truly is the best Bomberman around.

New gameplay elements featured within ten different levels have been implemented, such as: Bomb Change which does just that – turns you into a bomb; Rocket, where you jump high in the air to avoid bombs; and Shield, where you run the risk of getting carpal tunnel due to continuously shaking your Wiimote to avoid being blasted.

While Bomberman Blast sounds like a fun free-for-all, gamers who are more interesting in a sci-fi pinball game based on the ultimate in TurboGrafx-16 nostalgia, should look no further than Alien Crush Returns.

Making its debut on the Wii, this sequel to the classic Alien Crush features alien landscapes spanning two screens, multiple boards, online play, bonus levels, and special pinball powers like Boost, Reverse, and Split. Up to four-player online play takes advantage of the Wi-Fi by allowing players to compete for the highest pre-determined score and have your name immortalized on the online leader boards.

Future downloadable content is expected to be released for Alien Crush Returns with the addition of new stages and pinballs to help round out your game and keep you interested.

Neither Bomberman Blast or Alien Crush Returns have a release date or price plan set, but we will be sure to let you know when to expect your Wii to get just a bit cooler… in the meantime check out the screens for Bombermab Blast on FileFront.
