I also believe that open-sourcing of jj2 would do a lot for the popularity of the game (and by extension interest in jj3/3d/GBA). Everyone loves the words "open source"--it would encourage development (bots? mods?) and LOADS of new players. Something could also be built into the game to tell n00bs to come to j2o or *something*
On that note...could you PUH-LEEZE update www.jazzjackrabbit.com?
At least say something to the effect of "go to www.jazz2online.com, because we don't support this game anymore" or ANYTHING (:
Quist is also right in saying that there needs to be some publicity of *some* kind for any upcoming JJ game, be it GBA, PC, or whatever. JJ2 got rave reviews from the critics at the time of release, as I remember (with a few exceptions), but no one heard of it (that and the SP was soo freaking easy--people would give up before getting hooked on the MP (: ).

I agree about all of this. We're not just talking about one new game, we're talking about the community, and also if you want the new game to do well you have to show that wishes of the community are supported, as long as they are reasonable.
And I don't like how this is coming along guys. I think they get the idea - we don't like the star wars look. It IS borrowing a bit too much from Star Wars, and they could have a problem with copyright infringement. I don't know who said they were going to play the warez version of the game, but I don't support piracy in the form of warez or newer games being pirated AT ALL. I also don't want to have to buy a GBA when I don't really travel that much. So what I'm planning on doing, and I hope this is okay: I will buy the game and then play the rom. That's legal right if I have bought the game? I don't want a GBA but I want that game! Believe me, I don't do criminal acts and I don't support piracy.
There's too many complaints about the new look, why can't we just appreciate that it's a new Jazz game and hopefully the gameplay will be intact? I mean, CliffyB has posted THREE TIMES and even Dean has posted. The one thing you don't want to do is show disrespect to the very people who care about Jazz enough to bring him back into action. Yes, make suggestions. Like for example I am happy about trying to give Jazz a fresh new look. Clothes kind of works. But I just don't like this particular look they have given him. But oh well, lets see what happens.
Let's support Game Titan, not complain with not enough compliments thrown in, not spam them, not threaten or vandalize schools, not support warez.
And for what it's worth, I STILL hate Link's new look. It's not that he looks like a kid, it's not that he looks cel shaded. It's that he looks like a clown or something. It has HUGE eyes, and just a generally ugly face. But for Jazz, well, it doesn't hurt to try new things, but I think we are upset that it's NOT a new thing, it's a Star Wars thing. But, let's support this game, try to be positive, and make suggestions, sure, but don't complain constantly.
We have to watch our attitude - our words. The future of Jazz probably depends on it.
