This is what I said but when you really think about it, Hudson created everything. Hudson were the ones that came up with the idea of using 20 coins to gain a star and all those other mechanics if I'm not mistaken.
I'm not sure if Nintendo went to Hudson with the Mario Party idea or if Hudson presented the idea to Nintendo though.
What I REALLY don't understand is why Nintendo just let Konami buy Hudson. Like wtf! But then again, I also heard that the key devs at Hudson left and joined Nintendo. They are also the ones making the new Mario party games right now so that's nice to know.
