does low player turn out mean death of a game?

Indeed. CN itself shows Pokemon, Beyblade, and then lesser known anime like Scan2Go and I have heard they are picking up Vanguard, but idk since I don't care enough to pay attention to that.

But AS is the real thing here, they have always had anime on, and now Saturdays they show Bleach, FMA:Brotherhood, Samurai 7, Tenchi Muyo, Ghost in the Shell, and Inuyasha. Bleach alone should be enough to convince them to pick up the dub in my opinion.

I agree that cartoon network should air naruto dubbed. When I got into the game I was watching the anime on cartoon network. And being a fan watching the show and playing the game was cool. I feel yugi and vanguard generate countined interest in their card games do to the show running along side of card game. If the show ran again dubbed and mostly uncut on CN you would see the game pick up more. Bandai could run commericals for game at same time.

it doesn't mean death of the game. Tylar has stated that the budget is increasing due to good sales. So long as Bandai is making money they can still justify having jumps regardless of outcome at events. If the same small group of people are still making them money. They are still going to reward them with Jumps.

let's just hope that the small amount of people who are pumping money into Bandai actually have a reason to keep going even though they are having jumps. matter of fact, they are going to start having them once a quarter so not only are they limiting jumps, they are also limiting the amount of people who can potentially attend because some jumps are located 10+ hours from them and not everyone has the motivation to drive/fly that far. they need to focus on increasing prizing (which they slowly have) and get enough people motivated. you can only get so many people excited, and when you have decreased attendance for the past year, its definitely sending a message that there is something important that needs to be done. we are their customers so its more than just rewarding us with jumps, its what happens during these jumps that get people to attend and be excited about the game again.

you're right, I was just answering the question of the thread. but I agree that increasing the number of players that attend jumps is a big way to do this.

this goes back to my original idea I really think having cash prizing is the best way to get people to attend Jumps. I don't think they are allowed to do cash though because of of some trademark agreement (or something idk the details) but I think giving up pre-loaded gift cards is a way around that. I think it's clear players would much rather play for that than for Ps3's and x-box's

But as said, I believe offering 100-200 dollar prepaid cash cards would be legit.
I would like that, and also offer more block legal cards out as the "lesser" prizing. Then the people that didnt top at least get chances to improve their decks with more cards.

its great in theory but legal issues might get a bit more complicated if they did that.
