Logo/alias stuff[]

Personally I think JY company is a separate entity from Hummer Team (JY was probably the publisher) and the logo is JY's, not Hummer's. The logo appears in pretty much all pirate originals with a JY-xxx ID, even the ones that have nothing in common with other Hummer games (ie Super Contra 3, Mickey Mania), whereas the games that do seem to be developed by Hummer but published by NT or someone else (eg Earthworm Jim 3) don't have it.

As for Jing Tay team, I think that's something else entirely. and Jing Tay possibly developed Final Fight 3 too (similarly to Tiny Toon 6, it uses music stolen from an official NES game in the series) but maybe thats just me.

This is all only my speculation though, I'm not gonna edit the article just yet. anyone have any thoughts? Taizou 21:13, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

I'd agree with most of that myself, although I personally base the games mainly off quality myself. I as far as I'm aware Someri/Somari and Jing Tay could be aliases of Hummer, given that the graphics seem to be ripped in pretty much the same way. And of course, the sound in Somari's and Hummer's games are very similar. It'd make sense to have JY and NT as distributors, seeing as their initials are printed on most of the carts. Then again, it seems as though earlier games like Master Fighter II and Somari were distributed by either the makers or an unknown company. - Cheetahmen92

Yeah, I agree that Somari/Someri Team is probably an alias, I'm just not sure about Jing Tay. Could be, though. I'm sure they're at least related somehow. Taizou 22:48, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

One other thing, it wouldn't really make sense if Shin-Shin developed Earthworm Jim 2 and 3, seeing as those are completely different games aside from their involvment and that they're based off Earthworm Jim. I'm willing to bet that they're a publisher and the game was actually by Hummer Team seeing as it has Donkey Kong Country 4 music in the NSF file. - Cheetahmen92

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Taizou 17:17, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Staff[]

there seem to be a few odd connections in the staff section. where did "Terrisa Mao" being "Sakula" and "Say Lee" being "Freeman" come from? 86.22.243.120 17:42, June 7, 2011 (UTC) [this was taizou, i forgot to log in. again.]

These were guess. Sakula is a girl name, same for Terrisa. While Say Lee can be used for both I think. So we put the misterious Freeman here. MLJY 05:11, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

fair enough. i'll put something in the article about it just being a possibility, since we don't know for sure. Taizou 06:56, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

REQUEST:[]

If you are still in business, will you please make a bootleg game of Ed Edd n Eddy?

Ha no they aren't in business anymore. They disappeared around 2006. I will update the page.

Also its not like it cost money to produce a game and Ed Edd n Eddy isn't very interesting imo.MLJY (talk) 23:00, March 15, 2013 (UTC)


Well, it could be really fun. However, that sucks, I'm too late.

more sources/citations are needed![]

one issue i have is that there are a lack of sources on certain things that are pretty important

1. there is nothing prooving hummer made a xavix game, i cant even find any game of that mention
2. the provided logo is supposedly from 2016 and came from a site which was never properly cited, i/we have no idea what site this was from and id appreciate it if people would join the effort of tracking it down

there are other examples id assume but those are 2 that i think really need work and make me most confused, if anyone/people know the sources to these claims/images mentioned please add it. thanks

The XaviX claims were brought up in a correspondence with Hummer Cheng that someone conducted through his Facebook way back in 2017, which they did provide screenshots of on the BGC Discord. According to the person who talked with Hummer (they added the initial XaviX section to the Hummer Team article), Hummer Cheng reportedly claimed to work on five games for the XaviX platform (whether it was XaviXPort or the plug and plays wasn't elaborated on), one of them was a ping-pong game, most of the games were developed in 2005, and he used a psuedonym while presumably working with a Japanese company on the XaviX games (I've added it to the Hummer Team page now). They shared a screenshot of their messages with Hummer Cheng where he shared the psuedonym and they also got in touch with Kathy Chen to get some info on the Hummer Team characters so I believe there is likely some validity to the XaviX stuff. There aren't many details about these XaviX games though, in part due to the person asking just... not thinking about getting them when they initially got in contact with Hummer, and I'm not sure if they're still active now as they appear to have gone radio silent after the year they corresponded with him. The supposed name of the ping-pong game is likely just speculation as from my recollection of searching the title no game named "XaviX Ping Pong" exists in any form. If we manage to at least get more concrete information on this subject then that would be very appreciated, but I wouldn't expect that to happen any time soon.
