[Nujui]

I just know Hudson from Mario Party 3 and 5, I think...It's still sad. I guess.

Well, the name is gone, but the team is likely to be assimilated into Konami itself. It's a matter of nomenclature and expenses, really.

Also, Hudson Soft = Bloody Roar. One cannot forget about this title.

no more bomberman and adventure island NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those games are the shit. and now there gone all gone *sniff*

 

[Janthran]

What's happening to Bomberman??

 

[iHavezMyBirdo]

Please don't go, Bomberman ;n;

 

[DJPlace]

what is weird about bomberman is he's in tetris axis in the vs cpu mode...

 

[YayMii]

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

BOOOOOOOMBERMAN!
;___________;

 

[ferofax]

Star Soldier? Is that the XCOM-like squad based TBS game on the GBA?

 

[Presto99]

BOOOOOOOMBERMAN!
;___________;

I'm pretty sure the most fun I've had with Bomberman was Bomberman Adventure Thingy 2 for the DS. Me and a couple others with flashcarts would play with anybody who didn't have it via Download Play...8 player madness! So why do we need any more bombermans? Like Foxi4 said, it's probably just a name change; they're still making stuff.

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

 

[Helpful Corn]

what about WONDER BOY!

 

[Hyro-Sama]

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

 

[Fudge]

That sucks. Hudson has made some really great games. I've had so much fun with the Bomberman series, and I love the Star Soldier series.

 

[VVoltz]

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

I thought hudson was already gone and konami bought there IP's, while it may be sad when was the last quality game they put out?
