Majesco merged with a biotech company and will stop producing games. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/majesco-has-left-the-games-business/0176590 Everybody keep an eye out for asset auctions.
Not from my favorite companies, still they are from the oldest companies in the industry that produced and localized many great games. So it's quite sad to see them leaving the gaming industry.
The only thing I remember them making after that was a handful of PS2/Xbox shovelware games. And they published Psychonauts
The only thing I know them for is those SNES games with shitty-quality boxes, and the safety info as part of the cartridge mould instead of being a sticker. They're so inferior to regular SNES carts that I swear I could snap one in half with my bare hands. Anyway, where would an asset sale occur?
I should check with old coworkers to see if they might still be sitting on any old tech given to Majesco (I had worked for the studio who made the GBA Video Carts).
Asset auctions include IP. They're only the American publisher, though. Usually on-site. Via a liquidation auctioneer. They were a publisher, not a developer, AFAIK. Over here, they did Bloodrayne, Stubbs the Zombie, Age of Kings. A lot of their stuff was ports of old games - Tetris, Mad Dog McCree, Bookworm Deluxe, Bomberman, Earthworm Jim etc.
Guilty Gear XX is awesome. They brought us the Xbox port. Other gems here and there. Nanostray, Phantom Dust... All in all Majesco lacked a sense of identity, picking up WAY too many different genres.
Majesco was an "everything" publisher, no surprise that they released awesome games, crappy ones and some hardware. TBH, I was surprised that majesco was still on foot, I remember that roughly 8 years ago they were on financial problems.
