New Earthworm Jim game made by the original team exclusive to Intellivision® Amico™ - Console that will never release gets a 5 second jogging animation

[La Luz Extinguido]

I dread the inevitable “bringing Doug TenNapel back for the new Earthworm Jim is problematic” articles.

Not only this is 100% guaranteed regardless of anything but whenever I remember those vile comments I start literally shaking in discomfort for hours.

Please make sure to send him hate to his personal recently active YouTube account comrades.

I hope he's able to wrangle the rights back from NBC to Project GEEKER next.

I want my conclusion damnit!

Consider this your yearly reminder that the original Earthworm Jim is balls hard and not that fun to play.

Guys: we found DSP's secret Kiwi account.

I am curious about the weird transition of 16bit generation game going to pre video game crash hardware and more importantly playing it on a uncomfortable keypad controller and disc.

For real: I rented the SNES version for a 3-4 day rental. Got to the underwater level where you're in that bubble craft. That was the big game ender and I think I had at least 3 gameovers. But I eventually did it. Beat the level. Beat the rest of the game. I was about 11 at the time. And now it's a game I try to play yearly. It's an all time classic of it's era.

I prefer the Genesis version now because I like the soundtrack on that version more and the secret level exclusive to the Genesis is fun and experimental in a good way.

Insert Epic Store joke here.

But seriously, I don't know how well the Amico is gonna do if this is the killer app, unless they're going for a really niche market. Which also begs the question of what a 90s property is doing on a console banking off the nostalgia of something from the 80s.

[Insert Epic Games Store joke here.]

Could be worse. Could be an exclusive to the Epic Store.

It's a 50/50 if the game will be good and we'll see how long it remains an exclusive. Safe bet would be 6 months before it gets ported to everything.

Teaser of said video game console:

Jeez, who is even their audience with this thing? Also "Reimagined game licenses"? Sounds like games as a service fraud to me.

 

[Gordon Cole]

lol I saw, that's why I added more serious thoughts.

 

[Marissa Moira]

This game better get some kind of physical edition.

And I'm telling you that England's greatest prime minister was Lord Palmerston!

Pitt! The! Elder!

Pitt! The! Elder!

Lord! Palmerston!

 

[Chin of Campbell]

Fuck yeah, I miss ol' Jim. I'll definitely buy this whenever it inevitably is the only thing on this console worth porting to anything else.

Speaking of The Simpsons, any opinions on the cartoon?

It was actually pretty good. Sneaked in a good amount of adult jokes like all good kid cartoons did and still do. It was no masterpiece but it was fun. Probably one of the best game to cartoon translations and it didn't deserve to get just two seasons.

Speaking of The Simpsons, any opinions on the cartoon?

I think it was an okay show that suffered when compared to what else was being put out at the time. The Tick and Freakazoid! had a similar tone to Earthworm Jim and both were much, much better than it.

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

Why would anyone think that a developers who made a good game in the 90s would have the skills to make a good game in 2019?

If you have an emulator or even a Sega CD system to burn the game file on the CD-R, check out the Earthworm Jim Special Edition. There is a extra level, CD quality and amusing endings especially if you play in practice difficulty.
