Alien Crush Returns is a WiiWare pinball video game developed by Tamsoft and published by Hudson Soft. It is a sequel/remake to 1988's Alien Crush, and is the fourth installment in the Crush Pinball series. It was released in Japan on August 26, 2008, in North America on November 3[1] and in Europe on November 7.[2]

In comparison to the original game, Alien Crush Returns features 3D graphics and controls using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk that allow functions such as tilting the table using motion sensing. In addition, the game introduces "Action Balls", pinballs with special attributes that can be used repeatedly during gameplay.[3] Downloadable content in the form of extra stages and additional Action Balls could be available as well.[4]

The game features a high score-based arcade mode where players can select from three tables, a six-stage story mode with gameplay goals and boss battles,[3] as well as online versus multiplayer and leaderboards.
