Well, it's been a while since I've been gaffing, so I thought I'm come on and chit chat a bit with folks. If ya'll have any queries about what Hudson is up to lately, or anything else for that matter, I'm here to discuss!
batbeg said:Bomberman WiiWare - spill the details.
John Master Lee said:It's probably one of the few classic games we are bring out on Wii Ware,
Rlan said:What's next for XBLA since Omega 5 and Bomberman Live has been released?
will BONK make a new appearance? Adventure Island?
batbeg said:That's kind of sad, I think, but understandable I guess. Is there anything you can confirm like an ETA or online? Either way I'll be there for it
John Master Lee said:It's not too sad, because what that means is we are working on all new concepts and new game ideas! Wii Ware allows us to do some more interesting smaller game concepts that we normally couldn't do, so it's fun to experiment.
Don't be sad panda.
Reilly said:Any new Bonk games? Air Zonk on VC?
Is that PS2 Bonk Remake ever coming stateside in a Hudson collection?
edit:
For the collection, please include:
Bonk's Adventure
Bonk's Revenge
Bonk 3: Bonk's Big Adventure
Super Bonk
Air Zonk
Bonk PS2 Remake

Chibbi Brady said:Good to hear about Bomberman.
Wondering if Super Star Soldier R is just a score based game, or is that just an extra like the old games?

Kafel said:What about Dungeon Explorer ?
Supposed to come to 360. Can we expect it to join the XBLA party ?
Man, those portable versions look really bad. Ditch the 3D sprites and just make hi res top down gauntlet style Dungeon Explorer.John Master Lee said:Wow. Good memory. Yes at one point we were working an a 360 version of Dungeon Explorer. However, the game has been shelved because quite frankly the quality wasn't there. It just didn't look next gen enough.
Doesn't mean it won't ever see the light of day again, but it's not actively in queue. Could potentially migrate to XBLA one day though. It would make a killer XBLA game, wouldn't it?
batbeg said:How about PSN stuff? Those XBLA titles you're mentioning, are any bound for the PSN as well, or are there any unique titles bound for it, or is it just a sort of off the radar platform at the moment?
John Master Lee said:I tell you what, if you really want to dig into some good dirt on Bonk, then you'll have to listen in on some recent podcasts I did.
John Master Lee said:Super Star Soldier R for Wii Ware is a unique game. It's a lot like Pacman Championship edition, in that it's a time based attack mode, where you prove you can get the highest score.
Emotions said:Any chances for Bomberman Story DS RPG US release?
Reilly said:If you make Air Zonk 2, I will drive across the country and huge you.
batbeg said:What if he's not gay?
John Master Lee said:Anyways, it was hugely popular in Japan, so this updated Wii Ware version was originally planned just for that market. We're evaluating bring out for the US, since most people have never heard of Star Soldier, or the 5 minute mode or the Hudson Caravan.
Rlan said:Wait, so you're not sure whether or not Star Soldier R will make it out to other countries? Are people not doing what the XBLA does and release it for every (or almost every) possible country in the world?
Why the hell not? It's not like anyone ever heard of "OMEGA 5" since it wasn't a franchise - people at least know Star Soldier since the Virtual Console is filled with the games.

Dwayne said:PSN? Anything?
Edit: It's not just me!
