Jaleco Entertainment (the ancient console publisher that VR1 Entertainment resurrected a week ago) sent word of their first new Game Boy Advance production. The name is Jazz Jackrabbit (watch you don't mispronounce it, please) and it's hitting U.S. stores sometime in the fourth quarter.
If the name "Jazz" rings a bell, then you obviously were downloading PC shareware games circa 1994. That would be around when Epic Games released the first Jazz, which proved once and for all that the PC was capable of outdoing the SNES in the realm of 2D platformers. (It was also Cliffy B.'s debut game, and you can't have a PC games industry without at least one Cliffy B. hopping about.) The GBA Jazz is an entirely new game developed by the portable veterans at Game Titan, and it'll include a goodly amount of new features, including a tournament mode that supports up to 4 players with both single and multiple cartridges. Mr. Jackrabbit has also found some clothes, too. Very important given how uptight mothers are these days.
