Jazz GBA Future

For better or worse it looks like there is almost no hope for Jazz GBA in the future.

Unfortunately the answer to that is NO.

We believe Jazz Jackrabbit GBA was one of the better GBA games out there, with a great side scrolling adventure, Multi-pak and Single pak Deathmatch modes, bonus maps to unlock, etc.

However the poor marketing performance from Jaleco caused a lack of support from Epic Games, and even brought about the closing of Jalecos interest in the GBA handheld. Many people didnt even get to experience Jazz GBA and it slipped of the radar much faster than it should have, had it been left at the release price point. Had Jaleco been patient and not liquidated all of their GBA inventory down to 9$ a month after they botched the release, they would have benefited from the GBA SP that was released a month later and their products would have generated much greater revenue. No one makes profit at 9$ and thus, the licensing parties become uninterested.

Therefore I doubt there will be anymore Jazz products from Epic or Jaleco. And we, unfortunately, do not own rights to the license beyond the right to create that one title.
