Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  "BY HUD-O-SON!"

Cquote2


The Japanese electronics company Hudson Soft was founded in 1973. It began developing and publishing computer games in 1978, but the company only became a big name in video games in 1983, the year it released the first Bomberman game.

From 1985 to 1992, Hudson Soft ran the "Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival" tournaments in Japan. These contests were the origin of the 2-minute and 5-minute modes found in many of the Star Soldier games.

In 1987, Hudson collaborated with NEC to produce the Turbo Grafx 16 console (also known as the TurboGrafx-16).

Konami acquired a majority interest in Hudson in 2001 and made it a fully owned subsidiary a decade later. It has since been announced the company is being shut down and will merge with Konami on March 1st of this year.


Hudson Soft has produced/developed the following games/game series:[]

Hudson Soft was also responsible for porting several Nintendo games to the PC 88 and other Japanese home computer systems, such as Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong 3, Excite Bike, Golf, Ice Climber, Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros. Hudson Soft also produced ports of Lode Runner for NES and Star Force for MSX and Famicom (but not the later NES version).
