Majesco Q4 revs spike

How the heck did they sell those many copies of jaw's it's mind boggling.

After being burned by Jaws, I am simply saying no to movie licensed games. In the long run Majesco will loose money as people tend not to make the same mistake twice.

Its easy to sit in your chair at your screen and scream at Majesco for going the mass media route, it really is. But then you remember that the high quality classic games they made were rejected. And then smoke turns to fire the next game also failed and they were hit with lawsuits. At the end of the day, the devs need to eat and investors want their money.

Wait a minute guys, there was a Nacho Libre game? Man, even THQ wouldn't touch that license.

Well, they used to be respectable. While I'm really upset at this "bad games that sell well" thing that they're doing, desperate times call for desperate measures. Just remember to become your good old self once you're back, Majesco.

It's truly galling that poor games like Jaws and Nacho Libre have saved Majesco from bankruptcy. If all they plan for the future are more cynically rushed, poorly thought out games that sell off the back of a licensed brand, I really rather wish they wouldn't bother. In the long run this attitude towards game development can only have a negative effect on the industry.

well the tide won't turn unless they give a high quality game

Can we get some numbers on Cooking Mama for the DS please gamespot? It keeps getting mentioned as a hot seller but no numbers is bad reporting.

I am happy to see they are supporting the Wii but i hope they dont release garbage like Jaws.

I don't know if I'll like the 'new' Majesco yet. If they release more quirky japanese games like Cooking Mama at budget prices and good ports/remakes like Age of Empires DS, then I'll be a big fan. BUT, if they continue making games like Nacho Libre or Brain Boost that look like they're designed by the janitor, then they should just change their name to Titus.

Wow- Majesco doesn't push Psychonauts but Jaws- of course!! Because we all love crap games as long as they come from a movie IP!

I guess they're on the up because they get their bad games to sell instead of the good ones. I say put more on the Steam catalog!

Hey Majesco, here's a business plan for you: More games like Psychonauts and less games like Nacho Libre, Jaws Unleashed and Dino Master.

Agh, this is terrible! They're gaining money because of "Jaws Unleashed"? They should be earning money because of games like Psychonauts, not Jaws.

i like majesco. i dont like jaws though.

jaws sucked ok guys but it sold well ha ha ah aha ahha aha ahaa hhahahha

Wow Jaws sold 600, 000. I was expecting less.

While it's good that they're making money, it burns me inside that they sold 600,000 copies of Jaws to get that money.

Perhaps The Boat would care to comment on this story...

Congrats.

I want a 360 version of Psychonauts and Phantom Dust!

Prepare to see a whole bunch of bad budget Wii, PS2, PSP, and DS games.

Jaws was a much better game than the reviewers gave it credit for. its not easy developing a game like that, but the developers pulled off some great achievements. it was far from perfect, but if you can look past its shortcomings the Jaws unleashed game is dam good fun.

seems everyone is making profit these days.:)

Well, although the company is recovering, it is clear that it will stick to this plan and the odds of any sequel for any of it's titles like Advent Rising or BloodRayne have all but disappeared. I hope I am wrong but things are looking bleak in that area.

We all love Majesco for Psychonauts and Advent Rising. The sad part of all this is that those legitimate works of art are what scarred them, so I doubt we will ever see anything like them again.

Cool - so when can I get the next installment of Advent Rising?
