The folks over at Bits Bytes Pixels Sprites have discovered that two new Virtual Console games, as of now unannounced, will be headed to the Wii sometime in the near future. See, in poking around Hudson Entertainment's website, they found pages for both Alien Crush and Dungeon Explorer, mentioning their inclusion into Nintendo's Virtual Console line of games. For the unaware, Alien Crush is a pinball title with an extra-terrestrial theme, where Dungeon Explorer has playing as Detective John Gutter, a tough-as-nails cop with a dark past. As witness to a rather disgusting murder with no evidence left on the scene beside your testimony, you have 48 hours to find the one responsible before your fellow police officers toss you into the slammer.
OK, we're kidding. You do, in fact, explore dungeons.

Dungeon Explorer hasn't aged well at all (I guess the 'bad ending' is still funny, at least,) but Alien Crush is officially The Best Game on the Wii.

Dungeon Explorer is a really good (but obscure) Zelda-like game. I think that one will be on the "buy" list.

Aaah...Dungeon Explorer. I remember playing that with 4 of my friends at some D&D parties. Maybe it isn't the greatest game ever, but I have some fond memories of it.
In fact, I still remember the Hermit cheat: IMGAJ MDPAI
I don't remember the Princess one, though.

You know, this shit's getting really annoying. Just stick to reporting the news.

Uh? I don't get why you think it is annoying.
I'm sorry they've got a sense of humor...?
