Marvelous acquires G-Mode, Windjammers IP transferred!

So, according to Silicon era Marvelous (Creators of the Harvest Moon series) has acquired G-Mode, thereby gaining the Data East library of IPs.

One of those acquired is our beloved Windjammers.

What does this mean, if anything? Not much, but at least it is owned by a company which actually put out games for modern consoles (although handhelds have been their focus now for a while). But I cannot help but dream of a new windjammers surfacing :D

It's time for a Windjammers gritty reboot.

Who better than the creators of Harvest Moon.

Windharvesters incoming.

HD re-release pls. That'd be marvelous.

Now is our chance to confuse the fuck out of them, and make them think there is a huge demand for Windjammers, before they properly evaluate which of their newly acquired IPs are actually in any way popular outside of Giant Bomb.

So quick, everybody send a bunch of emails and tweets and whatever to Marvelous.

@bisonhero: Wouldn't a petition work better? Post it on GAF also and we have a winner.

Yes! Time for the greatest flash bang of all time.

Well, I think we all know what to do. #buildingthelist

Hey, Marvelous,

How would you like to Win Dave Lang's Money?

MoonJammers

Their USA twitter, I guess.

Man it would be cool if this resulted in a re-released Windjammers. PUT IT OUT ON THE VITA.

I looked into this news a little, and I can't find any actual mention of Windjammers among G-Mode's acquired library of Data East IPs. It seems Data East's IPs were split up into multiple batches and sold to various companies, with G-Mode being only one. The list of IPs that G-Mode scooped up (and thus that Marvelous has now acquired), as posted on Wikipedia, conspicuously omits Windjammers. I'm left unconvinced as to who really does own Windjammers currently.

The plot thickens

I'll believe it when I see the creepy anime girls they replace the old sprites with.

Yikes, they are really all in on that Senran Kagura stuff, huh?... Well, I suppose there's still the possibility of some sort of Xtreme Beach Jammers, I guess.

Nope. That's PS4 only. That does nothing for me. PC, Xbone, PS4, Vita, Linux, Ouya, Oculus, etc etc etc or nothing.

Well, okay then.

Don't get my hopes up only to have the Lang Zone bring them down

Look...you can be picky or YOU COULD BE JAMMING TO THE WIND IN 2015, 1080p @60 fps! Pick wisely!

The Lang needs to learn Japanese.

Senran Kagura Windjammers

I tweeted at them. I dont know why.

Moonjammers!

Make it so.

I approve! It seems they're only interested in making big breasted cartoon teenagers though.

@savage: Yeah, I did notice that. I've only gone with what Jeff has stated on UPF's in the past. Although some sources do point to Paon owning the IP, including the Windjammer Wikipedia. Hmm. =/
