Let's Buy Hudson!

When Konami has their inevitable fire sale, we can all pool our money together and buy up all the old Hudson/Turbo properties. Just think: Arkhan can finally create a China Warrior sequel! The Old Rover can create his Neutopia 3 without worrying about getting sued! Nullity can put together some sort of fully licensed Bonk/Princess Za erotica! The Turbo/PC Engine's legacy will be in the hands of the fans!!!

Or something...

Anyway, shitty about Konami.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

I'd toss in a few bucks towards buying the bee, even if it was just to buy rights to a few select properties and not the entire Hudson catalog.  Sadly, I doubt they'd ever split anything up; if (when) they fold up like a cheap tent, someone will pony up for all of Konami.

I'm in, let's get investors and form an LLC that owns the rights bought with investor's money, then make homebrews using official licences on the PCE, then port them to modern platforms a la pier solar.

I'm in. Let's develop the Hypergrafx-68000, with Cyber-Bonk 3010 as the pack in

Konami, much like Capcom, has been a shell of its former self for a long time now. No tears would be shed by me if they exited the game market.

I'm legitimately down for this. I would definitely invest (sci. give cash in exchange for shares) in this enterprise with some $$$.
