-Alien Crush ( August) [yes, it's a sequel. There will be online learderboards]

I just creamed myself. I cannot wait.

It looks promising, but I'd like to see some in game footage before passing judgement.  Those screen shots make it look like the ball will be hard to track, and game play might be a bit confusing due to the odd camera angles.

P.S. - Wiiware Bomberman and Tetris also look delicious.

[nat]

Oh f*ck yeah re: Bomberman.

I'm wondering when this stuff will hit the US though, those dates all appear to be Japanese launch dates?

[Necromancer]

Isn't Wiiware supposed to start here in May?  If so, maybe we can expect 'em to be released in the same order but two months later than in Japan.

On a semi-related note, have you seen Hudson's Deca Sports.  It's sounds like a sequel to World Sports Competition and has Archery, Badminton, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Curling, Figure Skating, Kart Racing, Snowboarding, Soccer, and Supercross games.

I am excited and repulsed at the same time. Those screenshots really make the game look gross as hell. I can only imagine what it looks like in motion.

That looks like crap to me, and I'm not saying that just because the playfield is clearly made of intestines in this series. Chitterling aesthetic aside, it really looks like a PS1 game...except it probably can't hold a candle to the good selection of pinball games on the PS1.

Maybe in motion it all makes sense.

Whoa, this came out of absolute no where! This looks pretty awesome and terrifyingly disgusting! Wii Ware has been getting better and better.

It is a Wii game after all.

[SignOfZeta]

Don't be stupid.

[sinfreealex]

I personally don't expect much, graphically, from a Wii game unless it's first party. Is that wrong?

[SuperDeadite]

Looks interesting, I wonder how the music will turn out though.  Noriyuki Iwadare did the original.  Sadly, he seems to have lost his touch though.  Everything he's done after Growlanser was nothing too spectacular.

[Sinistron]

It looks incredible- like Dave McKean painting with Giger in mind- but that top table looks waaay too tight to actually be playable. More than anything however I'd be interested in hearing the music.  Original Alien Crush has some of the best hucard music period.

[sideshow]

This is completely unexpected.  Great idea!

I have to agree with Zeta on this. This looks like garbage.

I am totally looking forward to the music as well.
