Hudson has announced plans to play the peanut butter to the Wii's chocolate, forming a completely symbiotic relationship that, in the end, pays off for us all. They expect to quadruple their profits over the next few years, by focusing on making titles for the Wii. Hey, we like the sound of that!Soon-to-be Hudson president, Michihiro Ishizuka, sees the company's new approach as the best way for them to maximize profits. We're inclined to agree, what with the Wii being the top console and all, and expects an operating profit of 10 billion yen ($97 million) by March of 2011.
And with a slew of compelling WiiWare games on the horizon, as well as Deca Sports, we think they can do it.

Good to see their return to form, they were on the decline something fierce last generation
If they started putting out some more good retail titles, they could become the prominent 3rd-party developer for Wii (a position i would grant to Sega, as of now)

Sega? Come on! Where's the Capcom love, IMO they are by far the best third-party for the Wii.

Can we avoid using any ducktales related images until they put ducktales on the VC?

I'd get the feeling he'd be like Sonic: repetitive, yet diverse moves.
B- Take out bomb. Attack or Throw to throw it. Block to drop it.
B forward- Kick. Can kick-slide a bomb. Can kick a person.
B down- ???
B up- ???
...it'd all be bombs. O_o ...and what the heck would the Final Smash be?
... but I'm all for this. :) Me and my family had a blast when we used to play Bomberman on the Genesis. Good times.

Oh wait!
B down- Remote bomb.
B up- Jelly/Sticky bomb!
:) I think that'd work... I think.

Aw man, I got excited, thought maybe a Ducktails game was coming out.
Maybe just the NES version on VC? Please?
