Jazz Jackrabbit returns, sort of

Those of us who were almost strictly PC gamers in the mid-1990’s didn’t have the option to play such games as Sonic the Hedgehog or Mega Man, but we had something just as good - and better in some ways - Jazz Jackrabbit, developed by none other than Epic Games.

Cliff Bleszinski has unsubtly hinted that Jazz Jackrabbit may be making a comeback in a series of tweets. One of his tweets stated: ”Thursday is going to be Jazzy …might even be rabbity…” Could this be the platformer we all miss and crave a return to?

No.

Instead, Epic has released a twin-stick shooter for the iPad, which is pretty much like turning Sonic or Mario into a twin-stick shooter.

C’mon Cliff, this is what we want in the video below.
