Template:Articleabout Template:Company-infobox Hudson Soft was a video game company. They were well-known especially for the Bomberman series.

Hudson's most notable work for Nintendo and Mario is the Mario Party series, which has received eight console games in the series so far, plus two portable games (Mario Party Advance, and Mario Party DS). Most of the Mario Party staff at Hudson moved to the Nintendo-owned Nd Cube when Hudson's former president moved over there.
In January 2011, Konami revealed that it was to fully acquire Hudson, buying out the company and merging it into Konami on April 1; as a result, Mario Party 9 was developed by Nd Cube.
