Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm for Hudson Soft, today announced that it has obtained a license from Midway, a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer, to bring the hard-hitting football videogame Blitz:The League to mobile phones. The title is expected to launch on both Brew and Java platforms in the North American market in fall 2007. The original game's success helped to create a whole new subgenre of action sports titles. To date, Midway's Blitz: The League franchise has sold more than 1.4 million units worldwide.

"With its no-holds-barred, anything goes gameplay, Blitz: The League is an innovative alternative to the typical football simulation gaming experience," said John Greiner, President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. "Due to its success, we thought it was high time to bring the action to mobile, and we've done so with stunning results."
