Rising Star teams up with Hudson

Fast-growing publisher Rising Star Games has confirmed that it has signed a co-publishing deal with veteran Japanese outfit Hudson Soft.

The news comes a month after MCV exclusively revealed that a deal was on the cards with the Bomberman publisher (MCV 18/05). Rising Star – which has so far specialized in handheld formats – also revealed that it will start publishing games for the Nintendo Wii later this year.

The first Hudson Soft titles published via Rising Star will be Honeycomb Beat and Bomberman Story, both on Nintendo DS, which will arrive in October.

“We are very happy to have an opportunity to work with Rising Star Games,� said head of Europe in Hudson Soft’s global business division Horomi Tomisawa.

“We have an exciting line-up of titles for Sony PSP, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii and we look forward to the partnership with Rising Star building in future.�
