Do The Hudson! + HudsonTV

[quoth09]

Ok, I couldn't find anything for these when I did a search on this site, so I'm going to assume that either no one knows about this stuff, or no one cares. None the less I found it interesting even though I don't have much usage for the first part:


Seems like Hudson has now started making iPhone and iPod Touch apps/games:

I found this site while trying to look for the arcade manual to Puzz Loop, so if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you may want to check it out, as some of them look to be good software titles, and the prices very from not bad to very reasonable (everything seems to be under $10; PuzzLoop Endless is only $1.99, Bomberman $7.99).

There are even a few freebies on there as well like some magic tricks app called touch Trix, which has Takahashi Meijin demoing it in the video    http://www.dothehudson.net/en/touch-trix/index.html

Free stuff is here: http://www.dothehudson.net/en/games/browsing-games.html
There are even a few free Bonk related apps, as well as Meijin related items, so fans of those may want to check that out.

As always, Japan gets games that we don't, such as Mahjong Police, and one other one. You can view the Japanese language version of the site here, or by clicking Japanese in the upper right corner of the English opening page: http://www.dothehudson.net/jp/index.html

Secondly, I found Hudson's YouTube channel titled HudsonTV, which can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/hudsonTV

Seems to be that they have an ongoing show on there called 16Shot TV, hosted by none other than himself, Mr. Meijin, as well as numerous other videos from the recent Tokyo Game Show.
Some of the episodes have him demoing Wii games, while some I watched pieces of, even had him showing off Hudson products from the past, Hudson offices (including the bathroom?), and other things, such as their newer platform games, and phone games.
Keep in mind that the majority of these videos are in Japanese with no subs, but none the less, they are enjoyable to watch, and most if not all, are in High Quality YouTube format, if you have it set in your account settings, or you tell it to load in High Quality (underneath the video frame).

One oddity that I did find, and I have no idea who the hell this girl is:
http://chakuapp-girl.jp/
She is on some of the HudsonTV videos (like the one of her playing Adventure Island for phones), and not sure what her or her friend's deal is, but she is only 20 and sounds like she is 30 .



None the less, I hope someone enjoys these links besides myself. I will definitely be going back and watching a lot of those YouTube vids.
