PotatoSamurai, on 04/24/2008, -0/+11Sweet. I love absurdist games like EWJ.
- rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5What's absurd about an earthworm in a cybernetic suit who fights against queen slug for a butt and has to rescue princess whatserface and flings around a piece of snot to get around..? and who has a friend named Peter Puppy who turns into a monster occasionally?
  
  You're absurd, sir. Earthworm Jim dictated to me what was normal when I was like 12.
ufee, on 04/24/2008, -0/+7This is cool. I'm glad the original designer is so well involved.
Menace1, on 04/24/2008, -0/+13Nostalgic memories of "Cow launched"...... good times
The1337Dude, on 04/24/2008, -0/+17Groovy!
YellowSnowDemon, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4Must buy.

Now.
soupdawg30, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5I loved in the 2nd level "What the heck" when lawyers attacked. Great.
Romerz, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1This is great news. A character like thing coming back is all sorts of good. I hope they don't change the feel of it too much though.
YouRookies, on 04/24/2008, -0/+9Long live the 90s cartoon characters. Back when it was the golden age for cartoons.
- chnkymnky700, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2actually i consider the golden age the looney toon era, but the 90s are very good too
BCKids1208, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Hell yeah! Earthworm Jim!
surKaz, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Loved the game... Hope the same craziness is kept..
Doomsan, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3Which one is the third? that awful 3D crap?
ANT1138, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Yessss! Now they just need to remake killer instinct...
ANT1138, on 04/24/2008, -1/+2Please let this one be a side scroller.
Culex, on 04/24/2008, -1/+9Good lord, please let this be 2-D hand drawn. Please.
- aldenhg, on 04/24/2008, -0/+11They'll probably do cell shading or go all Unreal 3 engine on it and show every gross detail of the folds in his neck.
- internetcoward, on 04/24/2008, -2/+1Dude remaking old games in the same sort of 2-d crap would be boring. It was great then, now it would be meh.
  - Culex, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2The graphics style and the sense of humor are what make EWJ games. Remember the turd that was EWJ3D? Take one half of the equation out and it won't work.
    
    Not everything these days needs to be gritty and brown. Which is more creative, something in hand drawn 2-D, or yet another 3D platformer?
chnkymnky700, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Im glad their bringing this back, this is my favorite game series
domdunc, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 are two of the greatest games ever created, along with being that rarest of things; video games that are genuinely funny.

The cartoon based off it was even pretty good.
- rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1It had Ben Stein as a voice actor, and we all hate Ben Stein now that we've learned what a jacksauce he is. I guess he can't ruin it though, otherwise I'd have to hate Ferris Bueler's Day Off too. That and probably 100 other things he did voices for..
  - domdunc, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1True, but you can hate the Mask cartoon if you like. That was ***** anyway.
protogenxl, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2A Hero For All Time
raphaeloo, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Dugg! Thanks for your advice.
ninjasenses, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2animated series and feature film? I think they are pushin it.
- surKaz, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I think they should slow down on that (not stop completely) and release the game first, as to learn whether to continue with the series and film.
coheedcollapse, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2You know who I think would do a really good job with a Earthworm Jim game? (even though it's not really possible) The same team that did Psychonauts.

I think I might be reaching though. I'm going through withdrawals for that game and I know they'll never make a sequel.
internetcoward, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3My girlfriend and I play EWJ still all of the time. It's incredible. I love evil the cat and those tube levels.

We were really hoping he was going to be a suprise character for super smash bros.
- rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2I said that after a few days of Brawl. He'd be perfect, Snott (was that the booger's name? lol) could be his up+B move to save him. He could have lasers, whip people with himself. He'd be the perfect character for SSB
- LegendaryHitman, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1That would have been fantastic!!! I wish they'd thought of that...
- domdunc, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1He was actually in Clay Fighter 63 1/3 as a secret character. Although that game was poo.
deadparts, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Nice...gotta love some EWJ. If you can find them, check out the Neverhood and Skullmonkeys for more TenNapel games.
zdiddy85, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Great all we need is some Toejam and Earl!
LegendaryHitman, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1GROOVY!!! Break out the pocket rocket and let's find Peter Puppy!!
WCASpooner, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1What great timing.
I dug out my genesis and just beat EWJ 1 and 2, and starting 3 after finals.
alexkball, on 04/24/2008, -6/+1Digg this New GTA IV gameplay video!! Not a Rick Roll I swear
