'Big news' expected from Jellyvision soon, YDKJ on XBLA or PSN anybody? photo
     GameShow

In a world where Jeopardy is king, the vast majority of people haven’t had the awesome experience of playing Jellyvision’s comedy and trivia mixture, You Don’t Know Jack. The game has been floating around in various forms for over a decade, but most recently has only been playable on the Internet. According to a post on YDKJ’s official website, this may all change very soon:

… hopefully, in the upcoming weeks, you'll hear some real big news about a real big deal we've made with some real bigshots who can help get YOU DON'T KNOW JACK back to where it belongs - in the home of every living man, woman, and child, and most elves ….
At this point there is only room for speculation, but YDKJ absolutely screams Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Network release. The games have always been small, had simple controls, and some pretty heavy popular culture appeal. It sounds like a perfect fit to me, especially if Cookie comes back.

What do you guys think? Have you ever had an opportunity to check out YDKJ? Do you think PSN or XBLA is a good application for it?

I had YDKJ 5 for PC - the writing was hilarious. And yes, screw your neighbor was awesome.

I just want them to get Primetime Pitch out somewhere sometime again.. Though I'm betting I'm the only person who's ever even heard of it, let alone played it.

Basically, it's a sort-of card game where players compete to have the most popular TV station or something.

I'd laugh if it ends up on WiiWare and not the other two.

WTF? Why no mention of the Wii. Doesn't have to be XBL or PSN. What system is in more homes? It's gotta be on Wii! If we are lucky it will be on all so EVERYONE CAN HAVE FUN!

What's wrong with it being on PC again? I remember the original when I was a kid and being scared when my friend typed F*CK YOU as an answer and the game went absolutely mental.

..and who said it was a console exclusive? stfuajpg.

More platforms, more money for the developers/jellyvision.

I don't see nintendo/sony/microsoft scrambling to buy a exclusivity contract/whatever for it.

*Going back to play YDKJ3 on my PC now*

Oh god yes! Currently my friends and I are pretty addicted to playing scene it on my 360 but you know, there's more to trivia than movies. If they bring out YDKJ with big button support and all the class that the series originated with I will fellate anybody who desires so(god I hope nobody wants that)

I'm guessing PSFREE err...3 considering Jellyvision's past releases have appeared on the Playstation console but more accessible to players would be a logical move.

Now all we need is The Guy Game brought back then I'll have my fix for quiz shows and spring break tattas in HD!

klubjunkee: I wouldn't think they have any particular affinity to sony's consoles. The playstation was simply the most logical choice for porting the PC games back in the day. These days they'd be pretty crazy to not just port it to everything.

i like the psn/live idea for the fact that you could set it up to get new questions and crazier things on the game.

sadly they will probably charge something above and beyond admission that will ruin it a little , but bring back JACK!! [:

If there was a version that didn't have a lot of repeat questions after playing a few times then I would buy it.
