New methods of crushing aliens

The WiiWare sequel to Alien Crush is officially the hottest thing ever, even though we're not entirely keen on the new 3D look -- and even though we prefer Devil's Crush to Alien Crush. Among the many reasons it's super hot (reason the first: DUDE ALIEN CRUSH RETURNS) are the new ball upgrades. Reverse Ball allows you to instantly send the ball back the way it was moving. Split Ball enables multiball on the field. Boost Ball boosts the speed of the ball.

Strangely, these new "Action Balls" will be available as DLC. We don't know if they're otherwise unlockable, or if they'll be paid DLC or just time-released. They aren't the only Crush DLC, either -- new stages for the game's Story Mode will be available as downloads.

I'll always love Aliens Crush more than Devils Crush, everything about it is just much more appealing and addicting to me... plus I love how everything looks like it was built out of slimey alien guts (that is always a plus).

This new wiiware sequel looks pretty damn stunning. Is it confirmed for a domestic release?

"Boost Ball"... why, oh why is Metroid Prime coming to mind?
