Major Bummer!

It wasn't a major hit. It wasn't even a minor hit. According to Kotaku, Major Minor's Majestic March was an absolute failure, selling six hundred copies in the first two days of its availability. I've heard reports that the game just isn't that fun, but I have a feeling that it was Guitar Hero and the industry's focus on an older, more "extreme" audience that killed the Parappa series, along with its various spin-offs.
Parappa's dead. Crash Bandicoot's dead. Spyro's dead. Toshinden is DEFINITELY dead. Tomb Raider is just barely alive, and only because of an emergency cash injection from Square-Enix. It's official, folks... the 1990s and the franchises that defined it are history.
