I'm not really sure what market they were aiming for. I saw almost no publicity for that game, and when it comes to video games, they rarely succeed on word of mouth alone. If they were counting on the fans to spread the word, well, I lost all intrest after they threatened j2o.

Top that off with the short length and lack of replayability, the game was not really posessing any of the aspects of a successful game. I guess it had multiplayer, but only so much can be done on the GBA. This is more of a personal preference though, and I am sure many people do not mind games like this. I just happen to be very picky.

Regardless, even if the makers of JJA were being threatened, this site had nothing to do with it. The worst threats I can remember on these forums were threats to not buy the game. Maybe there were a few kids having temper tantrums and producing real threats, but it's not like anyone listens to those people.

Maybe if the J2O news had something like "I will burn down your house and kill you, Jaleco" they could have threatened legal action for a good reason. That would have been more of a problem.

I should say, I like that they tried to make a game and I don't hate anyone for it, unlike some people here. I just think they did a bad job when it came to promoting the game and selling it, and their resentful attitude doesn't help much either.

With that said, I think some people in the jj2 community were real idiots about JJA and made problems out of things that didn't even matter.
