Hudson games might... MIGHT... keep getting made photo

Just before the blackout, we learned that the last remains of Hudson are to be absorbed by Konami on March 1. While nothing has changed in that regard, Hudson saw fit to issue a statement clarifying a couple of points, namely that the Hudson homepage will remain open and that Hudson-brand properties will continue to exist.

You will have to excuse me if that doesn't quite fill me with confidence. Hudson was still somewhat alive when a bunch of its upcoming projects were cancelled. I can see perhaps a token Bomberman release for iOS, and I'm sure Konami wants to get those TurboGrafx-16 games out on the 3DS Virtual Console as soon as possible, but beyond that? I'm skeptical.

Oh, well. It's something, at least.

Nah doesn't fill me with confidence either Tony, even if its kind of putting a foot in the door for a step in the right direction.

I was so looking forward to the new Bonk game that got canceled after the Tsunami. I'll miss Hudson :(

My guess is only re-releases via VC on 3DS and until the Wii dies.

We Need a Lost in Shadow for the 3DS! It would fit perfectly with the whole 2D-3D world.

The deluge of Virtual Console games were great, but some of their Wii Ware titles were seriously not. Who was asking for a Star Soldier Time Trial marketed as a full game? Here's to hoping that Konami takes better care of these brands than either company have in the past!
