FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SAN MATEO, CA - June 6, 2006 - Hudson Entertainment,
the North American publishing arm for Hudson Soft, today
announced the unveiling of their new website, which was
recently revamped with their trend-savvy fans in mind. In
addition to information on classic and upcoming Hudson
titles, the site will now provide movie, gadget and cell
phone reviews, as well as news from Japan and the latest
trends from the world of hip-hop.
"We designed this site to entertain," said John Greiner,
President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. "Hudson has
delivered on its promise to entertain for more than 30 years.
Continuing with that tradition, we created a site that
reflects our dedication to delivering relevant content to our
fans.
"Those who love old-school Bomberman and the Turbo Grafx
system will appreciate the attention paid to our classic
brands, while true entertainment enthusiasts will enjoy new
features like updates on the latest entertainment buzz from
Japan and reviews of popular downloadable ringtones which are
provided by our business partner, The Source."
Site visitors can delve into developer blogs, enter weekly
contests, read interviews with Hudson executives, and sound
off on the latest news as a member of "The Hive," Hudson's
online community forum. Hudson plans on updating the site
with fresh content several times per week.
"Too often game companies are closed off to their fanbase,"
said Greiner. "We'd like to pull back the curtain, so to
speak, and give the Hudson community a little more."
