Give it the sequel it deserves, Majesco:

Majesco used to be like the old THQ. Lots of B-tier stuff that wasn't the best in the world, but was great for rounding out the industry.

*high five*

Came here to post this.

 

[Aquamarine]

I can't believe after all these years, Majesco is still alive.

Good for them. They may be nothing more than a casual shovelware outlet, but the fact that they're still kicking is a feat to be accomplished in this brutal market.

Considering Orson Scott Card's current state of mind, you might not want that.

That buggy POS got the sequel it deserved: None.

The WiiU is the only console which gets all of these games. And people said it has no 3rd-party support...

 

[Anth0ny]

daaaaamn that wii u third party support

 

[ShockingAlberto]

 

[Aquamarine]

daaaaamn that wii u third party support

Surely, their Wii U support is UNPRECEDENTED, huh?

 

[Linkhero1]

I forgot they even existed. What's the last good game to come from them?

 

[R3TRODYCE]

That buggy POS got the sequel it deserved: None.

Not even going to lie, I lol'd.

 

[georly]

What, you guys aren't excited that the day has finally come?

Wouldn't be able to contain the hype if I saw some of those games' footage.

 

[Aquamarine]

I forgot they even existed. What's the last good game to come from them?

Double Dragon: Neon (PS3 / 360, September 2012) was pretty good. So was Nano Assault Ex (3DS, March 2013).

That one game very nearly destroyed them. I remember the million dollar contest, and the plans for sequels on the Xbox, and a spinoff for the PSP. All for naught.

 

[Like the hat?]

Fun fact: I bought majesco shares solely because their symbol is COOL

Time to shift the Wii fanbase to Wii U, I see.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I'm not even sure why they would show up at E3 with this line-up. Must be some elaborate joke.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Young Justice?
I thought that got cancelled.

 

[Kifimbo]

That one game very nearly destroyed them. I remember the million dollar contest, and the plans for sequels on the Xbox, and a spinoff for the PSP. All for naught.

Yeah. This and Psychonauts almost killed Majesco.

 

[Father_Brain]

I'm surprised that there's still a market for this kind of licensed shovelware on DS, or at all, given the advent of licensed games on smartphones and tablets. But I guess they don't need to sell massive numbers to turn a profit.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

They're publishing Crash City Mayhem in the states, right? Where the hell is that?

 

[Linkhero1]

Double Dragon: Neon (PS3 / 360, September 2012) was pretty good. So was Nano Assault Ex (3DS, March 2013).

Doesn't seem like they have much going for them. Haven't played Nano Assault Ex, but I assume it's the same game as the Wii U eShop Nano Assault title?

 

[bakedpony]

No Zumba for Playstation.

 

[tw1164]

Hmm..everyone laughs but my wife likes the zumba kinect games. My kids would love to play the monster high, barbie, and young justice games.

 

[massoluk]

Uh. Did Nintendo blackmail Majesco or something?

 

[Phonomezer]

Majustno.

 

[cafemomo]

Barbie™ Dreamhouse Party - (Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS)

No Vita port?

Bunch of asshats

 

[serplux]

I half expected a GBA game from them. I leave this thread disappointed.

 

[Aquamarine]

Doesn't seem like they have much going for them. Haven't played Nano Assault Ex, but I assume it's the same game as the Wii U eShop Nano Assault title?

It's not the same game, but it is from the same developer.

 

[Kazerei]

Uh. Did Nintendo blackmail Majesco or something?

I'd guess that Majesco games have sold better on Nintendo platforms. *shrugs*

 

[Linkhero1]

It's not the same game, but it is from the same developer.

Ah. I've always assumed it was the same game so I never bought it >.>

I'll be changing that very soon.

 

[Marcel]

Yeah. This and Psychonauts almost killed Majesco.

It's a shame Tim Schafer didn't do the same to EA.

 

[Totobeni]

Young Justice?
I thought that got cancelled.

It's not the Titans.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Young Justice?
I thought that got cancelled.

Licensed games based on children's cartoons can be weird like that. Some of them don't come out until years after the show ended/was canceled.

 

[skarabrae]

Is Tommy Tallarico still playing the main theme at the Video Games Live events? I went to three of the first ones and he always slips this into the set list.

Back to topic: I got this release and our outlet is going to check out Young Justice.

 

[Desty]

Zumba® Fitness World Party - ( Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U)

So this is another one of the Xbox One's 8 exclusives?

 

[cuyahoga]

That's a bit lackluster. After Monaco and The Odd Gentlemen title, I hoped they would have some more indie stuff up their sleeves.

 

[Karak]

Give it the sequel it deserves, Majesco:

Oh lord yes.

 

[Oersted]

Is there a atleast okayish Phineas and Ferb game? I´m digging the cartoon series, so im kinda interested...
