Hudson Soft Company, Limited (ハドソン) was a Japanese video game developer and publisher headquartered in Tokyo. It was responsible for co-producing the PC Engine line of consoles and co-owning its brand with NEC Home Electronics and its successor, NEC Biglobe, until being fully acquired by Konami and dissolved.

History

Hudson started off as a shop called CQ Hudson (CQハドソン) which sold radio devices and art photos. It eventually moved into video game development, making games for computers and Nintendo's Family Computer-Hudson was the first third-party publisher for the platform and some of Hudson's first big sellers like Lode Runner and Bomberman were made for it. After failing to sell advanced graphics chips to Nintendo, Hudson collaborated with NEC Home Electronics to create the PC Engine console (TurboGrafx-16 in the west) and its successors. Despite this, Hudson would continue to produce games for consoles made by other companies like Nintendo and Sega. They also served as a third party developer for games like Nintendo's Mario Party series and Sega's Sonic Shuffle.

Hudson also had a smaller role programming computer software, most notably the standard Human68k operating system for the X68000 line of computers, and hardware, such as the CPU in the TurboGrafx-16 and an assortment of NES controllers.

In April 2005, Konami purchased a majority stock in Hudson. In January 2011, Konami announced that they had made Hudson into a wholly owned subsidiary, taking effect 1 April 2011. Hudson Entertainment, the American division of Hudson, was shut down, canceling all projects and since 2012 all Hudson's intellectual properties are now owned by Konami.
