List of Hudson Soft games

This is a list of video games developed or published by Hudson Soft. The following dates are based on the earliest release, typically in Japan. While Hudson Soft started releasing video games in 1978, it was not until 1983 that the company began to gain serious notability among the video gaming community.

Early computer titles (1983-1984)

Early on, Hudson Soft's strategy was to port games to as many (japanese) platforms as possible, many of which were short-lived. The table below includes known, preserved ports, including original version of games later remade for Famicom/NES.

Not: Unattested versions listed with ? are listed as existing on MobyGames.
