Hudson Soft has had a long running relationship with Nintendo, most notably developing the Mario Party series and has also generated many of its own hits such as Lode Runner and Bomberman.
Hudson has now named and dated some of the ten announced games it has coming to Nintendo's downloadable content service, WiiWare. We finally have clarification on Bomberman Wii but there are more eye brow raisers in the current line up planned.
Bomberman
The rumored Bomberman title will be released as a full retail game on a disc. The game will include a single player mode which hasn't been fully explained just yet, mini-games which have proven to be popular on the Nintendo Wii console and a multi-player traditional battle mode. Hudson claimed that they will be releasing the Battle Mode as a lone release on WiiWare. So if you want a smaller price tag, no single player adventure or mini-games then you'll be elated to know this. Both versions will support 2-8 player online multiplayer. It'll be hitting the Japanese WiiWare in June, with no word on NA or EU release.
Joy Sound
Joy Sound, a previously mentioned WiiWare title, is no longer WiiWare as it will be shipped with peripheral accessories which obviously can't be beamed to you over the internet (yet...). However the game will still support downloadable content in the form of additional songs through WiiWare
Blue Oasis
Blue Oasis is a title that follows in the flippers of Endless Ocean. Instead of an ocean, in this title there is a fish tank which you will tend to and be able to admire. So it's almost as much fun as having a real fish. Not much is known about this title however it will make use of the Forecast Channel.
Tetris
Tetris is coming with 6 player online and 2 player co-op but it still has that traditional appeal and no crazy new aspects so it is shaping up to being a great WiiWare title. Hitting Japan this June.
Alien Crush
The retro classic Alien Crush will be getting a shiny new build for our pleasure. After the original had some good sale figures on the VC this new game should please many fans. It will have 3D graphics, a new board, 6 player online (6 Player online pinball. How will it work?) and online leader boards. Hitting Japan in August.
Hudson looks to have a stellar line up for Nintendo's downloadable service so stay tuned in the coming months for more information!
