''' | '''Hudson Soft''' was a Japanese video game developer and publisher, best known for creating the ''{{wp|Bomberman}}'' franchise. They also co-developed the {{wp|TurboGrafx-16|PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16}} consoles with NEC in the late 1980s. Hudson's most notable work for [[Nintendo]] and ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' is the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, of which they developed eight console games and two portable games (''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' and ''[[Mario Party DS]]''). Most of the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' staff at Hudson moved to the Nintendo-owned [[Nd Cube]] when Hudson's former president moved over there. | ||
In January 2011, [[Konami]] revealed that it was to fully acquire Hudson, buying out the company and merging it into Konami on April 1; as a result, all ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games starting from ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' were developed by Nd Cube. On March 1, 2012, Hudson Soft officially ceased to exist, having been merged into Konami Digital Entertainment, though quite a few of Hudson's staff members migrated to Nd Cube. | |||
