doesnt matter if LJN produced them or just released them. they still approved the shitty games and allowed them to be released.

And yet, every time one of those shitty games came out, it was always under the LJN name, hence why they are referred as LJN games, so they're still shitty LJN games.

To elaborate further: Β LJN was an American publisher that wanted to capitalize on the success of the NES. Β The first eight LJN games were made by various Japanese companies, and LJN approached Atlus as a subcontractor. Β Atlus did develop games for LJN, but Atlus also outsourced the development of the games to other companies. Β Atlus made Karate Kid, Friday the 13th, and that MLB game. Β Atlus got Sanritsu to make Gotcha!, T&C Surf Designs, and the NFL game. Β These six games all had one employee in common, Atlus' Hirohiko Takayama. Β He did the music and sound effects for all of these games. Β You can tell how those games are made by different companies because Atlus' games have very basic, rudimentary graphics, while Sanritsu's games have more detailed, expressive graphics. Β The Sanritsu games also share the same "FLING" sound effect. Β The other two Japanese LJN games were Jaws, which was made by West One, the Wonder Boy people, and the Uncanny X-Men. Β No one knows who made the X-Men game.
After that, LJN managed to strike deals with English and Australian companies. Β Rare (Roger Rabbit, Nightmare on Elm Street), Software Creations (Pictionary), and Beam Software (Back to the Future). Β Pictionary was the very last LJN game released under the "Enteractive Video Games" banner, after that, LJN was bought by Acclaim to be used as a second publisher. Β These three companies continued to work for LJN after the Acclaim buy out.
I know, the picture is from 2012, but hey.

Finally! I personally love a lot of the LJN games. They weren't perfect but they were fun, nonetheless

Atlus is like Square. They both made crap before making hit games.

James is actually aware of LJN being a publisher, but he still hates how they allow such shit to pass.

It's funny, because theres over 100 episodes already and he's still making the same mistake.
π: 0 β©: 0
So Rare made abominations and classics. That makes sense.

Actually, the publisher does have a large involvement in the quality of a game. Most notably, they determine the game's deadline, scope, and have final say in many aspects of the game. Not only have publishers ruined games, but also ruined entire game series. EA's involvement with Ultima 8 and 9 are excellent examples of this.

those publisher made donkey kong.... not suprised in the least, it was a horrible game

it doesn't matter anymore, ljn was shut down by acclaim.
...and apparently activision has taken its place as the king of shitty game manufacturers (with such gems as Skylanders and Call of Duty)

Technically everything about retro gaming doesn't matter anymore

No, the real LJN successor would either be Ludia or Data Design.

Correction, Rare only made some of the LJN games. They never made any for the SNES or Genesis and cut their contract once the Head guys knew what was going on.

0_0 holy shit ive actually learned something today

If I ever meet James in real life, I'm going to tell him this!
π: 0 β©: 0
The Karate Kid game was actually pretty good. James admitted years afte4r he did the video that whenthe enemies kept on hitting him into the pit, it was becuase he was PURPOSELY running into the enemies. GOod drawing though

Baggy - yes. But was it bad? No.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yep 
Actually a lot of AAA developers have some skeletons.
Like Rockstar North and their Uniracers.

Relly?
Can you tell me anymore?

What's with her breasts? They seem fake.
Not because they're big but because they shoot out at an unrealistic angle instead of flowing naturally from her body.
π: 0 β©: 1
You expect realism in comic style drawing?
π: 0 β©: 1
No I just expect certain established rules of sexiness to be met.
π: 0 β©: 1
Whatever, if you find fake tits sexy I don't give a shit. Draw them all you want.

Good to know! Rareware is the one behind those crapy games , but also made good games. I always wondered if Ljn did published any good games.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmm... Actually long time ago their Punisher was "the hit" of my neighborhood.
π: 0 β©: 0
Well, that's interesting to know. I knew LJN was just a publisher, but I didn't know Rare made any of those games. But since Rare made so many MORE kickass games like Battletoads and R. C. Pro-Am, they can be forgiven...
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. But I *should* point at this "skeleton in the closet"

Yeah her hands are really small, especially in the second picture.

Palm should almost cover a half of face... Looks pretty normal to me.

I think the only really bad game under the LJN label or whomever is the Back to the Future one. I never really thought the Roger Rabbit/Nightmare on Elm Street games were -that- bad, lol. Questionable decision, yeah, but not as bad as AVGN makes them sound, lol.
π: 0 β©: 1
True. Some LJN games weren't THAT bad
You know, guys who made Back to the Future also did Shadowrun for SNES... which was named "the best RPG of 1993 year" by VideoGames, Electronic Games, and Game Informer magazines
π: 0 β©: 1
That's a good game, so I've heard.
Love this art piece though! :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, that game is pretty good
Thank you

Hah. I didn't know that.
Granted, while I never beaten the 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' game, I never remember being completely upset at the game (except when I had to fight that weasle in the raincoat. Guy can suck a dick >:C ). But eh, to each it's own.

Most of people know only LJN
I am trying to remember any game which made me mad... And I can't remember any
π: 0 β©: 1
Ever Heard of 'shaq-fu?' for the SNES?
Or maybe the infamous 'Super Man 64' game? lol
π: 0 β©: 1
I played Shaq Fu for Sega. And maybe I wasn't mad because I played not to much
About Super Man 64... God was kind and I've never seen that game
