Come on, guys- ToeJam & Earl DS needs a publisher.

And we can make a difference! I did some snooping and found the email to the guy who said this:

"I would love to see ToeJam & Earl come back, actually. I think that’s my answer. I mean, it was pretty funky as it was, but just imagine that now. You know, some new music -- some licensed stuff."

The guy's name is Pete Rosky, and he's the Assistant Product Manager at Majesco. What's his email? Well, here it is:

prosky@majescogames.com


We all know that Greg Johnson has been looking for a publisher to fund development of ToeJam & Earl DS, so bombarding that Pete Rosky fellow will surely help the fans get more of the alien duo! Besides, it actually works to take your time to bombard developers. I was the main catalyst to all of that news regarding Greg Johnson and the fate of the ToeJam & Earl franchise. Hell, I was able to talk to the Johnson in person via his phone number (1-(510)-558-7150)... which has recently been magically removed from his official website (LMMFAO).

Anyway, SEGA fans unite!!!

Without me and a few other ToeJam & Earl fans, we would have never gotten this far.

...looks like something that will ruin one of your childhood favorites? It looks more like Greg Johnson's trying to stay true to the original design and gameplay of the series, something that Sonic fans crave for.

If you guys didn't know, Sega-16 is a huge fan of the series. They even interviewed Greg Johnson back in 2005:

They also had a little snippet regarding this situation in one of their MEGA Bites:

Why would you post his phone number here?

This is spam, not a constructive effort.

No, I'm just stating proof that I contacted Mr. Johnson, but he's not the guy we have to bother anymore. We have to politely bombard Pete Rosky to go along with what he said and give us ToeJam & Earl 4!

"YES OH YES MR ROSKY! PLEASE SPEND MONEY ON A NICHE' GAME SERIES NOBODY REMEMBERS BY BRINGING IT TO AN EASILY PIRATED PLATFORM BASED ON YOUR BLURB ABOUT HOW IT WOULD BE COOL FOR A MODERNIZED REBOOT."

Seriously.

You crossed the line in your first post by essentially 'spamming' us with needless contact information in the hopes of it proving the value of your efforts previous. If you wanted to say "Hey guys, TJ&E-DS needs help! Lets petition it or something." I might have agreed, but seeing how you're basically saying "ZOMGWTFBBQ! HERE'S A PUBLISHER WHO KNOWS ABOUT TJ&E, LETS SPAM HIM INTO HELPING US! WE NEED MOAR! MOAR!!" I can't help but want this thread to disappear.

What's the point of being a jerk about it? If you don't care, move on. This is only for those who see the thread and find it intriguing and actually go along with the idea. If you don't want to go along and actually make a change in the industry, then your input isn't needed.

EDIT:

And seriously:

Did any of my posts look anything remotely like those "examples" you posted? Please grow the **** up.

Saying it's a 'stupid idea' to spam somebody's email, or a needless personal phone number that was effectively removed - one can only wonder as to 'why' :roll: - is the greater point to be made from my sarcasm filled post.

The sarcasm reflects the futility that is the nature of almost 'all' spam efforts such as this. It sounds like another bad scheme worthy of a 14 year old Earthbound fanboy.

Might as well forget a new A Boy and His Blob. Oh wait.

There will never be a new Shantae, either. Oh wait.


"Spamming" developers, as you put it, to make us new games, never gets fans anywhere. It's a fact, because you said so.

"You're doing it wrong."

Coming here to raise interest in it is fine. Getting a petition ready to be forwarded to a publisher is fine.

Coming here to bombard us with 'needless' contact info, asking that we spam on your behalf, of our own accord?

No. On behalf of every developer out there with a public facing email address: "You're an idiot."

^"Fail."

Instead of bombarding him with a gazillion spam emails, why don't you just forward him a link to a thread with a gazillion people saying that they want this game to come out.
I'm glad to see the concept art is like the original game.

Knuckle Duster, why weren't you more like Deo? He doesn't act like a jerk and adds a positive contribution to the discussion. The way you act makes it seem like you have Assburgers syndrome.



Anyway, I like the idea Deo. I just need help starting it up.
