Konami bought Hudson and now they're closing it. No word if the franchises die, but I wouldn't doubt it.
Bye bye Bomberman. :'(
does this mean you're going to boycott Konami now too? wariodood;
No, because I never bought anything from Konami that wasn't developed by Hudson. girl;

oh ok wariodood;
but yeah It saddens me that Hudson is closing too :(
Their quality was never the best, but they had some great classic series. And knowing Konami, they're dead now. :(
THEY DID THE ADVENTURE ISLAND SERIES OH GOD RIP.
Well...Hudson hasn't really done anything particularly worthwhile in a long time anyway...
yeah no I really doubt they'll kill off bomberman completely
In a surprising turn of events, Konami is just changing Hudson into a Konami brand.
Here's a statement from Konami's Hudson group:
QuoteWe will continue to work to deliver new entertainment to our fans, now as a member of Konami Group.

No more Hudson "Soft", just Hudson.
So yay. All those 3DS games I was looking forward to may still be in development, since the Japanese website is still running.
