Hudson Talks Dungeon Explorer DS, Reviving TurboGrafx-16 Franchises

Feb. 5 5:28 PM by Alicia Ashby

The world's finally ready for massive co-op RPG titles like Dungeon Explorer, a game that was hopelessly ahead of its time on the TurboGrafx-16. The DS and PSP revival, Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts, is promising hack n' slash RPG action, online multiplayer with both random and friend code match-ups, and both voice and text chat when you play with a friend. This is pretty sweet and the Siliconera interview has good info, but what's most interesting to me is a little question toward the end...

Is Hudson considering reviving more TurboGrafx-16 franchises? Personally, I would love a new Bonk or Air Zonk game! Neutopia would be a great fit for the DS too.

We are definitely reviving more TurboGrafx franchises! As you know Hudson has a large library of titles that we can draw from. Look for announcements in the coming months.

Is it a coincidence that this happens once TurboGrafx-16 titles are available on a popular hardware platform that frees them of collector's market prices? I think not.
