Forecast Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ive never heard of it but if its a gaming place and its closing truly sad. Yep, it's a gaming place. It was responsible for distribution of the Bomberman and other Hudson Soft games to the US. But I guess Konami will now have the publishing power in their hands now.

Forecast Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I don't get why everybody's freaking out? Like I said guys, Konami will have full publishing control because it's planning to buy out only the US division, not the entire company. Sorry if I left that bit out, throw rocks at me for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdaniel Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Uh, hello? This mainly concerns Hudson Entertainment, NOT their parent Hudson Soft in Japan! The Mario Party games were developed in Japan to begin with, and Nintendo published them. Of course it's sad to see their US branch go (again), and how Konami wants to shift Hudson Soft's focus to social games, but it doesn't spell the end of the company as a whole. And as for Mario Party, even if Hudson Soft won't make them anymore because of the social games crap, I don't think Nintendo would let a profitable series like that just die off - if anything, they'll just develop them in-house instead, or give them to HAL or whoever else.
