The EA is really bought the Jazz Jackrabbit license or not?

[burnout92]

I'm thinking about the new Jazz Jackrabbit game which be develop by the Electronic Arts (EA). What do you think? They can make a new Jazz Jackrabbit game? Or will not be a new Jazz Jackrabbit game?

[Stijn]

What, which new Jazz Jackrabbit game? Last time I checked Epic still owned the JJ license.

[burnout92]

Okay.

[Stijn]

My heart skipped a beat when I read this, and I thought, "What? No, this can't be true!" and then I remembered "Wait, why would EA do that?" So, I clicked on this thread, wondering what it was all about(Expecting to either take this thread with a grain of salt, or find out about a new Jazz revival rumour), and then laughed my head off after reading the thread.
So, assuming that this is about that newspost in April, I'd like -- for the benefit of Burnout92 -- to point out the date it was posted - the first of April, also known as April Fools' Day. Burnout, if you already knew this, you are a comedy genius. If not, I direct your attention to Wikipedia, the only thing containing more knowledge than Stephen Fry.

I remember back when I was, like, 12, and was really impressed to learn about all these famous people making impassioned pleas to Game Titan to Fix0rz teh Jazz Jackrabbit! As time went on, the cold bite of reality set in...

[burnout92]

Oh yes I'm not change... I don't be change... When why announces the new Jazz Jackrabbit game by the EA? Huh?
I think I be right.

One word to describe this thread: Gullible.

That's a bit harsh.
Although, to be fair, that image in the newspost was pretty ridiculous. XD

Burnout, look closely at the image - notice the ripped TMNT sprites, the unfitting background images, the "Buy Ammo" button, and the fact that Jazz's small image in the corner is JJ2-style, while his sprite in the main part of the image is from JJA.
There are a few other things that show it's fake, but those are the easiest to point out(Other than the newspost being posted on the 1st of April (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day)).

The background and character portrait come from the Bucky O'Hare arcade game.

I've only played it once when it was out in the arcades. It seemed pretty fun. I'm not sure how well it has held up over the years, though. There's also a NES game that was pretty good and played similar to the original Mega Man games. (It was also pretty darn hard).

Bucky has a few things in common with Jazz. Other than being green space rabbits with guns, they are both hideously ugly. Bucky has Jazz beat in the ugly department, hands down...

Genius ;)

[Hardtana]

I'm scared now. Then again, as somebody who didn't have a PC of her own in 1990s, I had no idea there was something behind the word dopefish...I'd better not say what I thought it was referring to.
