    The DS version of Hudson's popular Momotaro Dentetsu series of video board games is still selling in large numbers (and was a big enough release to get its own special edition DS Lite). As reported on Takahashi Meijin's blog (!), Hudson's next entry in the series will be on the Wii.Momotaro Dentetsu 16, like the other games, focuses on a particular geographical location within Japan. This time, the theme is based on Japan's northern island, Hokkaido.%Gallery-3674%[Via GoNintendo]

  • Subtle limited-edition DS Lite from Hudson

    Hudson's Momotaro Dentetsu series of video board games (think Mario Party) has always been popular in Japan. It's so popular, in fact, that it justifies limited-edition hardware. That's a little unsettling, to us. It's hugely popular, but has never been released outside of Japan. Of course, Japan needs limited-edition DS Lites-- and all DS Lites, more than we do. Maybe this will add to the total supply.This DS Lite comes packaged with Momotaro Dentetsu DS Tokyo & Japan, and features very small character portraits and the series title on the top of the system. It's a very restrained approach to the special edition system, which contrasts to the recent BeDazzling approach. Check after the break for a closeup of the system!
