Hudson Soft

From Sega Retro

Hudson Soft Company, Limited is a Japanese video game developer and publisher headquartered in Tokyo.

Starting life off as a computer game developer, Hudson grew into one of the most recognised video game developers in the world after having success with their Bomberman series. It collaborated with NEC to create the PC Engine console (TurboGrafx-16 in the west) - a direct competitor to Sega and their Sega Mega Drive. After the TurboGrafx-16 was discontinued, Hudson have mostly allied with Nintendo and Sony, releasing very few games on Sega systems. They did collaborate with Sonic Team to produce Sonic Shuffle, however.

Since April 2005 Hudson Soft have been owned by Konami, though still continue to publish games under their own name.
