Great! Now I'm going to have nightmares where I'm being chased by noseless children with blobs of puddings for hands and frowns for eyes.

I can't really think of a good game that Majesco has published since Psychonauts.
As mediocre as Advent Rising turned out, it was it was still much better than the majority of shovel-ware that Majesco has published since they changed their focus to less creative titles in order to improve their profits.
It really looks like that strategy is working well for them.

I thought Age of Empires for DS was excellent, but I may be in the minority on that one due to its low sales numbers.

@Levi: Good call, I forgot Majesco published Age of Empires for the DS about 2.5 years ago.
It's actually a great example where Majesco published a quality title and it sold 170,000 copies just in North America alone - a modest success.
It's possible that if they had have published more titles like this they be in their current situation right now and would have many loyal customers.

What's a "kithcen"? I love Joystiq, but what the hell is up with all the editorial screw-ups recently?

Cmon Majesco! You're not churning out enough shovelware. You gotta try harder to seperate your shit from the thousands of other shit on the wii and ds shelves.

Seriously. If only they would develop more stuff for the PS3. That's definitely a niche market and it would be really easy to find some shelf space between all of the 360 ports and the 7 or so PS3 exclusives.

They only serve to make the quality games that much sweeter

to Majesco, thank you. Due to your hard work and dedication in further contributing to the already plump DS and Wii shovelware library I can say this with confidence; With a Majesco label on a game, I know that I'm looking at the best of the worst, The Caviar of Crap, The PINNACLE of lazy development cycles, THE MICHAEL PHELPS OF MEDIOCRITY.

But I thought turning into a strictly shovelware company would net profits the likes of which have never been seen before! That's what all the staunch anti-Wii folk around here chant, anyway. Well, here ya go, the first company to go that route, nearly dead.

Delisting from Nasdaq isn't the end of the company.
