Konami Dissolving Hudson Soft

stanleyopar2000 · Jan 18, 2012

that's what a "merger" pretty much is...it's just a "delayed" "buyout" and "takeover"

just like what will happen to Nex---oh can't say anything about that yet

Bastards. They do that every time, munch the little publisher and dissolve it. I guess that is life. Business life, that is.

like what Square-Enix did with Edios...and every fucking big larger than life company does when it dominates a smaller one.

Mario Party 9 is being made exclusively by Nintendo.

The only sad thing about this news, is Adventure Island.

*slits wrists*

Goodbye Hudson. You made some great games.

If it weren't for Hudson, there'd be no Super Smash Brothers. They made the original and Melee.

that was HAL ?

So basically does this mean we'll be seeing a Konami logo on later Mario Party games?

What about Mario Party 9? If it gets cancelled I going to e-mail Reggie a very strongly worded letter.

Mario Party 9 is developped by ND Cube.

If Bomberman ceases to exist because of this, i will hate Konami for this.....
then i'd play Metal Gear Solid and sadly forget that i hate them...

Bomberman

BoxmanWTF · Jan 18, 2012

;_;
bomberman....
I will rage on konami if we don't see a quality bomberman game in the next few years

CyborGamer · Jan 18, 2012

I still got fond memories of Super Bonk on the SNES, sweet game. I hope this isn't the end of Hudon's IPs too.

SuperMarioMaster · Jan 18, 2012

Poor...Bomberman.

Maybe, somebody could buy Bomberman's licence?

Rage on them, Love KojiPro.

Tbh, I thought it had already been dissolved. I'm surprised it took that long since when Konami acquired it.

R.I.P. Hudson, you died because you kinda went shitty.

Pretty sure Konami will still release Bomberman etc.

raulpica · Jan 18, 2012

R.I.P. Hudson. I'll miss Bomberman and uhhh... well... pretty much only Bomberman.

Oh wait, also Yo-Joe for Amiga. Awesome game.

Gahars · Jan 18, 2012

It's sad to see a developer that's been around since the early days of gaming disappear, even if they haven't made anything noteworthy for some time.

Well...I guess it still is kinda sad though.
Anyways, it seems Konami will be absorbing what's left of Hudson. So that likely means that Bomberman 3DS, Bonk 3DS, and all their other upcoming games will not be cancelled.

RIP Hudson, you will be remembered for the TurboGrafx-16, and your classic bee logo. And if Konami decides to drop all of your property, your games will be missed too.

shakirmoledina · Jan 19, 2012

probably the staff will remain in another department but the running costs of keeping the name and all may be to much. its a guess, i dont know much.

Thesolcity · Jan 19, 2012

I'm having a hard time remembering what I played that carried their logo.....
