So it seems like Hudson Entertainment (the North American branch of the company) is closing down.

As far back as I can remember, I've been playing games they've either created or published. Go look at their history, if you're not sure, and you're bound to find a few that you touched. The Bomberman series is probably the one most of us know the best, but there are plenty of others.

I had forgotten about the merger; it looks like they're consolidating the brands now. Nintendo used to subcontract some games, most notably the Mario Party series to them, so I wonder what will happen with that.

Goodbye, Hudson!

The upcoming releases will mostly all go down with the sinking ship, too. I hope you weren't waiting for one of these!
