Maybe even some of the lesserknowns like Skunny the Squirrel and Captain Comic. If done faithfully, I would like to see the following characters poke their heads out of the grave and make video games fun again: I would love to see all these great characters make a comeback, preferably within the next few years to go alongside the release of Duke Nukem Forever. Jazz GBA was a horrible sh*tfest that destroyed the Jazz legacy.īut yeah. The Jazz 3 alpha leak looks like it would have been pretty good. Jazz 1 and all the expansions were fantastic. The music is about the only Jazzy thing in this tech demo, although the whole point of Jazz Jackrabbit was to compete with Sonic the Hedgehog, so any similarities are not surprising. However, the problem I would have with a new Jazz or Keen game is, would they sacrifice the spirit of the games to market it for only one type of gamer? That's what I fear the most. I think alot of companies make self-fulfilling prophecies by only listening to one side of the gaming demographic (Sega tends to do that alot with Sonic). That's why I think Jazz 2 sunk sales-wise, Epic was ready to move on so they didn't put the effort into the marketing. There's alot of stuff that could be really profitable but companies don't put enough effort into marketing the product. I don't see why Jazz or Keen couldn't be profitable.

The PC market has always helped the underdog, like indie developers, why not a major platform hero with a big budget behind both the development and marketing?
Lets also not forget Valve's steam network, or even GameTap where I'm sure lots of niche games have found success. Jazz wouldn't make a profitable game these days, and if they did somehow manage to make Jazz appeal to the gaming industry's target audience (brain-dead 14 year old emo foob) it would be an awful game.īy your same reasoning the Wii, Mario Galaxy 1&2 and Sonic Colors would not have been a financial success.
