The Worm is back B*TCHEZ!!!

[The Clerk]

Hooray!!!!

...

...too bad I have a DS and not a PSP, tho... -_-

[GK Punk]

Let's hope we get it for other systems as well.

[Mecha Cow]

Eww. That looks really bad. It's good see Jim back in action and I hope this paves the way for a greater-scale revival, but the style totally isn't there. Why do you hate sprites, Sony?

[Peanut]

Are you insane? It looks beautiful. Very much like the super-hot Mega Man X remake on PSP, which I'm a big fan of. I'm a huge EWJ fan. Probably the only EWJ fanatic I know. I had a complete obsession with it when I was a kid, and when the TV show hit I went bananas. I had all the toys, comics, games etc etc. I've been waiting so long for Jim to make a comeback since EWJ 64, which I owned and loved at one point in time.

Jim is just such an awesome character and he's only one of many in the series. Like Peter, Princess What's-Her-Name, Evil the Cat, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head and my favourite, Bob. It's about time he made a comeback.

BTW, what does this have to do with Sony?

[Mecha Cow]

I'm pretty sure Sony doesn't want 2D games on the PSP or something. Hence all the 2.5D stuff (Which I'm not a fan of). I could be wrong.

I loved EWJ 1 and 2(And the cartoon) as well. The 3D one was kind of crappy though.

[Peanut]

There are a bunch of 2D games on the PSP, so it's nothing like that. I think these 2.5D games look amazing personally. Both Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and New Super Mario Bros. turned out awesome.

The 3D one was kind of crappy though.

Oh, no. The 3D one was extremely crappy! I just loved it because it was Earthworm Jim.

I like that you need to find pieces for Jim's super-suit in this game. Kind of like finding parts for your armor in Mega Man X.

They didn't say who his voice actor in the game was, but I hope they got back Dan Castellineta. He was great in the cartoon.

[Ecto Jedi]

I've never played a Earthworm Jim game (except for the original on the Game Gear), but I'm looking forward to this version...It sounds pretty sweet. I also like the fact that it's going to be a PSP exclusive, seeing as how there aren't many of those to speak of.

[Peanut]

There are a ton of PSP exclusive games. It's just that 99% of them are trash.

Now that I think about it being a PSP exclusive, I don't like that fact. Almost every game on the PSP sells badly to horribly, so this could lead Atari and Shiny to believe that EWJ isn't popular anymore and they should just quit on the franchise. I hope they do something for DS at the very least.

Like Mecha said; I hope this leads to full-scale revival of the franchise. Next gen games and all. Maybe they'll have EWJ on the Wii Virtual Console! I lost my first EWJ SNES game awhile ago. I'd love to have it again.

YEEEEEEEESSS!!!!

About damn time too. As a HUGE EWJ fan, I'm EXTREMELY Glad to hear this...:D

Just noticed this post.

The dude who created EWJ was the one who did his voice in the games. If anyone is going to do it, it'll be him. I think his name was Doug TenNapel or something like that. Anyways, yeah. Dan Castellineta's voice was complete different from the original EWJ, who, being born and raised in Texas, had a Texan accent.

Not to say that Dan's voice isn't good. When I think of Earthworm Jim I often think of his voice, but more often I think of that old "Grooooovy" from the games.

Quick, Nut, what's Queen Slug For a Butt's full name?
(Loved the SNES games, show and figures. That was back when Playmates made great figs...except my Psycrow's neck snapped and his head just rattled around his glass helmet.)

[Peanut]

The Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus Filled, Malformed, Slug-For-A-Butt!!

I can't believe I still remember that whole thing.

[GK Punk]

Was the cartoon ever released on DVD? I Loved that show. I remember "test driving" EWJ 2 on Sega Channel a month or so before the game was released. Oh how I miss Sega Channel :(

[Kid Icarus]

Sega Channel was sweet... I'd only ever used it once.

Anywho, boo for the PSP exclusiviness. Do they really expect this game to sell at all now? Even GTA couldn't sell on PSP. Hopefuly they'll do something for DS, or even the VC. That'd be nice.

I never played an EWJ game. They looked fun though.

Nope, I have the 4 VHS releases though. Hilarious stuff.

[Drtooth]

I seriously hope this game brings back the character. That damn 3-D game killed his career. I actually WANT a PSP just for this one. Let's hope it renews interrest enough for a DVD box set.

[Spitfire]

If the Tick made it to DVD this can too, have some hope guys. It just takes alota time to do DVD releases on some shows because of legal disputes. Espcially shows based on games where it's owned by like 3 different companies.

[discordiatookie]

anyone else remember that crazy salamander stage on the megadrive game?... man i loved that part!!
