Super Mario Bros....by Hudson Soft!?
« on: February 16, 2006, 01:18:43 PM »
I was reading up on the NEC PC8801 and came across something interesting. Supposedly, Nintendo licensed Hudson Soft to develop a Mario game called Super Mario Bros. Special. Anyone know anything about this game? Screenshots? I'd really like to know more about this, but I haven't been able to find much searching the web.

I've never heard anything about this, but I would like to know as well!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Yeah, Hudson licensed Fabian Gross to develop it-

Seriously though, it was one of many Hudson/Nintendo collaborations for the MSX-

Other games that they made-

Thanks for the links. Weird, the Nintendo/Hudson connection goes way back. I thought it started with Mario Party. :)

Hudson has been a third party for Nintendo for a looooooong time.
