Remembering Hudson Soft

Hudson Soft was a developer, publisher, had their own consoles, and even worked with the competition, and you can find links to stories on all of that here.

This page is meant to serve as a hub for features written in a month dedicated to celebrating Hudson Soft, which was purchased in full and absorbed into Konami on March 1, 2012.
