Nikkei recently put out a report discussing all the trials and tribulations going on internally with Konami. Lots of interesting tidbits are in there regarding drastic changes as well as a good look into why everything has shifted so much in the last couple of months, but one of the most notable points is to hear that Konami has lent the license for Momotaro Dentetsu to Nintendo to release on their platforms.

For those unfamiliar, there has been quite a bit of animosity between Konami and the series creator Akira Sakuma lately in regards to Momotaro Dentetsu ÔÇô the extremely popular board-game style video game in Japan ÔÇô┬ádue to creative issues, power struggles, financial disagreements and more. A couple of months ago, that all came to an end when Akira Sakuma had announced via Twitter that he was done with the Momotaro Dentetsu series┬ádue to repeated┬ádisagreements,┬ástating┬áin early June ÔÇ£Konami hasnÔÇÖt gotten in touch with me at all. This is how theyÔÇÖve tossed me aside for a while now. IÔÇÖm announcing here that Momotaro Dentetsu┬áis officially done. Ishikawa at Konami squelched everything.ÔÇØ

Fast-forward to now and it seems the series will continue even without its beloved creator with Konami lending the license to Nintendo for a planned 2016 release, only asking for the licensing fee in this partnership. Konami owns the IP as well as former developer┬áHudson Soft, so they have every right to continue developing and licensing┬áMomotaro Dentetsu, even if fans and its creator say itÔÇÖs done.

ItÔÇÖs certainly an interesting choice that Nintendo would scoop this particular title up and not some of their other well-known properties. Though this is certainly something that will only be released in Japan, what are some of Hudson SoftÔÇÖs IP that youÔÇÖd like to see revived and on Nintendo platforms?

Me parece muy bien. Este juego era un buen seller en Japón, pero tras la desaparición de Hudson y obviamente el cáncer que es Konami estaba destinada a morir.

Me parece muy bien que la continuen de alguna forma. Y así debería ser con la mayoría de IP de la muerta Konami.
