Some news from eurogamer.net:
In a statement issued on its Japanese website, publishing and development giant Konami has announced its decision to purchase 3 million new shares in Hudson Soft, giving it a majority shareholding in the ailing developer.
The move will make Hudson into a subsidiary of Konami, who will oversee reorganisation plans within the company.
The company "expects its acquisition of additional shares will strengthen Hudson's net worth and will support and enhance its organisation."
Hudson Soft employs 530 staff and is best known for creating the highly successful Bomberman series. The developer also recently produced Rengoku: Tower of Purgatory for the PSP. Nintendo owns a 1.23% share in the company.
