Panasonic Cancels the Jungle
Panasonic's train-wreck-turned-into-a-massacre-wrapped-inside-a-corpse that was the MMO handheld improbably called the Jungle has been canceled.
In a statement, the company says that it has scrapped the handheld "due to changes in the market and in our own strategic direction."
The Jungle was announced in October of last year, and the handheld that planned to deliver online gaming and MMOs was met with skepticism at best. It's a great idea in theory, but it may have just been way too ambitious for its time.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
