I love EWJ 1. I Remember playing it as a kid. When i got older i bought it on my xbox. The newer verson had different difeculties. Easy, normal, hard and Original. Original was so damn hard. I beat it pretty easely on normal though.
EWJ1 is much harder in my opinion, if I can complete EWJ2 I wouldn't call it hard If you press up and B+C you do a shield, it's pretty useless but a lesser known move EWJ the cartoon was god tier The picture flags give you the password for the level when collected can of worms are continues lastly for the love of god use your gun!
The cartoon was indeed spectacular. It helps explain a lot of the lore (like why the puppy gets angry; I think he was a pacifist with rage issues?) And yes PLEASE ACTUALLY SHOOT THINGS.
I wish I could view that cartoon on any of the plethora of streaming services but alas the memory of getting up on Saturday turning in the TV eating breakfast and watch the cartoon while the rest of your family still sleeps will die with me I guess. And yes ewj 1 is awesome. Just never could get passed the submarine level however.
I swear these let's plays and movie/tv reaction channels purposely act stupid and fake because they think it will make the content more exciting but it's really just annoying. Not accusing him of doing that but it's clear as day for many other's and it's torture.
Earthworm Jim 2 is still a classic, but it is _significantly_ easier than the first game. I still wouldn't call the first Earthworm Jim game an extraordinarily hard game, though. It is challenging, yeah, but a lot of it is just learning the levels. The first Earthworm Jim also has way more actual platforming compared to this game. Earthworm Jim 2 just kind of throws a bunch of gimmicks at you in every level. 😅
@@GarosGaming Yeah, I think I prefer the first game as well. There are just too many levels in the second game that just completely break the pace of the game. Granted, there are a few levels in the first game that derail the experience like Tube Race or Snot a Problem!
I absolutely LOVE this game SO much But honestly, earthworm Jim 1 is a LOT harder than the second one. I’m so glad you still got to play this Ryu :) Thank you for blessing us with gameplay 🙏🏽
Love the 16bit Earthworm Jim games soooo much. The first one was much harder, especially Tube Race! Oh, that level had me stuck for years! I was super impressed by the 3D-ish effect in the puppy bonus stages at the time
This brings back so many memories from my first console. Everytime talk to someone about sega and bring up this title they dont know what I'm talking about
That's hilarious, I noticed it was 2 immediately but thought you just decided ANY Earthworm Jim would be fine. So hilarious that you noticed it at the end! Can't wait to see you play them original!
Loved this game! If you press different buttons at the end-of-level cows screen, they say "well done" in different pitches, from super low to squeaky high. Spent ages doing that!
I can't tell you how satisfying it was to watch someone discover this game, knowing nothing about what was coming. Was one of my favorites as a kid. What a wild, unpredictable game!
I grew up with this game, so I forget how mind-bogglingly silly it is. Just the sheer bafflement on Ryu's face when he reads "Jim is a Blind Cave Salamander" so great.
"I beat the first stage, it's not extraordinarily hard, it's easy!" *A few minutes later* "I've been bamboozled!" I love how my man really pulled the "reads the title"
This was one of my favorite games growing up, it was one of the few Sega Genesis games I remember owning and playing constantly! Never really played much of the first one, but this 2nd one was my jam! I also loved Earthworm Jim 3D, even though it single handedly killed the franchise because of how bad it was considered, but I have some fond memories playing it back in the day! Here's hoping this franchise returns some day with an actual new game!
You can definitely see the 90s influence on this game. It's oddball comedy and animation is like Ren & Stimpy, there are Megaman elements of gameplay, and the tree sprites look a lot like other 90s platformers like Lion King.
I played this a ton as a kid! I didn't notice you never expected it to be the sequel. LOL. I'd love it if we get a full LP of this game. Just keep in mind it never stops being weird and mechanics keep changing throughout the game.
It'd be awesome if you played earthworm Jim 1! Growing up it was amazing! Such an entertaining and well made game. Even the music is very well written!
I was like "somethings off here...this isn't the ewj i remember...i remember riding around on that rocket thing and grappling ledges and failing alot of parkour" But this one was good too. I never even knew they made a second one so this was still nice to watch.
Ahhhh earthworm jim..just wow. Havent seen this game since i was a kid. I beat it as a kid. The first one, not the second. Thanks ryu for bringing back some memories of a more positive time
I never played Earthworm Jim as a kid, but there is a Sega Genesis game called "BoogerMan" that reminds me of it greatly! Check that out if you want another quirky game!! You'll get some good laughs from it.
@@CaptainTrevino "where is a bomb? what does that even mean" i was literally yelling at my screen "THE THING YOU BLEW UP THAT SAID BOOM ON IT MAYBE?!???
THere was a cartoon yeah. if anything seems out of place or weirdly puzzly, its because it assumes you're familiar with the show. I promise all this stuff makes sense.
OMG this is my childhood in a video! EWJ was a cartoon. It was awesome zany madness. The puppy that came to kill you was Peter Puppy he was cursed by Evil the Cat it’s like a whole thing! I remember my dad and I trying repeatedly to complete this and the first game. Hope you have fun with number 1 and get to finish number 2!
YYYEESSSS 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you dropped the puppies, thousands of people were hoping you would drop them, oh and the items he throws at you was a globe, a worm, and the word jim.
There are so many 90's games that now we can play with emulators, that we did not have a chance to get when we were younger, it makes me want to go back and check them out, we are missing some hidden gems for sure
Gem of a game right here. EWJ1 was harder and established the world/characters but EWJ2 took everything to the next level with better animation, better music, more clever levels/level variety, more jokes.... Your reaction to the stage 1 "boss fight" was perfect lol Edit: Your reactions to all the game's beats and quirks were perfect
Well done 🙂 Puppy love is an intense childhood memory of mine. Overall the EWJ is this whacky "anything can happen" series that shines by its creativity more than its difficulty. Except for understanding why there are cows at the end of each level, there isn't much story you're missing by playing EWJ2 first.
I remember reading video game mags and making a Collage with Earth Worm Jim 2 from all the adds they had. I was so hyped for this game, it is an underrated classic. So weird and cartoon! It was great seeing this, brought back so many good childhood memories. I beat Earth Worm Jim 1 as a kid, Own it on Xbox but couldn't beat it on xbox. The Submarine level is nowhere near as hard as the TMNT water level. The hell level on EWJ1 on xbox i believe has some issue with the hook or platform I couldn't reach. But still great vid and great games. I recall they were supposed to do EWJ3 in 3D on Playstation but id recall it getting pushed back and then never actually coming out.
your face when you beat the level and ate the fish and the cow talked to you 😆 and dont you worry it gets harder youll be in love with this one, theres a reason most of us never finished earthworm jim haha
Did he ever figure out to how to switch weapons? 😂 use your guns dude! Also you can do a lot of moves and funny animations in this game. experimenting with all the controls is part of the fun! 🤩
Please bring back Extraordinary Hard Games. It is, such good entertainment. Love everything else you do though. I want your life hahaha. Thumbs up to your channel
Great game Ryu. Please do a part 2!!! I really loved this game when I was a kid, I think I was 9 when we got it and beat it with my brother as few months later. Game picks up in difficulty later on…
Him not using the gun was bizzare, and how he kept running into the fish man as well while the game kept saying use pig. Wonder if its just speed runner logic to just constantly keep moving nonstop.
I've played this game quite a lot when I was a kid (on the SNES though). I'm not sure if I've ever beaten it, but I do remember all levels shown here. It's not super hard. I believe EWJ 1 is much harder, though I never really played it.
your face when you used the brick house gun the first time 😆 earth worm jim is epic i used to rent this all the time back in the day. you can use your gun more bro to hit the flying dudes
See, you need to read the manual. Yes, it covers a lot of things Jim can do and what icons are what, but that's not why. Good ol' Shiny, putting jokes in every square inch of game available.
Oh this game is such a classic. I played Earthworm Jim 2 in my childhood but not Earthworm Jim (the first one) back then. I only got to play that Emulator. I find the only level from Earthworm Jim to be somewhat hard is the underwater level. Those punching cats and submarine give me nightmares. It might be easier than that since I kinda was rushing a bit lol.
Awesome game! I prefer that music on the snes version though. The genesis has such a crunchy synth. The snes is a bit more musical. Edit: Cant wait for you to play the first one. Its better than the second imo, the second one is a bit gimicky. The first is way harder as well.
I'd love a full playthrough of this. Was one of my favorites as a kid and it has some off the wall goofy moments haha
I love EWJ 1. I Remember playing it as a kid. When i got older i bought it on my xbox.
The newer verson had different difeculties. Easy, normal, hard and Original. Original was so damn hard. I beat it pretty easely on normal though.
@@pappaOfswe oh I played it on Megadrive/Genesis when it came out I know I beat EJ1
I would like a playthrough of Earthworm Jim and Earthworm Jim 2.
Watching him go through the entire first stage without using a gun was so nerve-wracking
Frustrated the hell out of me watching that.
Dude….kiiiiilled me. 😂😂😂
Yeah, and not in a good way
'They're shooting me! They're shooting me!'...
So shoot them...
Watching him go through more than half of Earthworm Jim 2 without even realizing it was Earthworm Jim 2 was so mind-blowing!
EWJ1 is much harder in my opinion, if I can complete EWJ2 I wouldn't call it hard
If you press up and B+C you do a shield, it's pretty useless but a lesser known move
EWJ the cartoon was god tier
The picture flags give you the password for the level when collected
can of worms are continues
lastly for the love of god use your gun!
The cartoon was indeed spectacular. It helps explain a lot of the lore (like why the puppy gets angry; I think he was a pacifist with rage issues?) And yes PLEASE ACTUALLY SHOOT THINGS.
I agree EWJ1 is a superior game compared to the 2nd but still loved the video!
I wish I could view that cartoon on any of the plethora of streaming services but alas the memory of getting up on Saturday turning in the TV eating breakfast and watch the cartoon while the rest of your family still sleeps will die with me I guess.
And yes ewj 1 is awesome. Just never could get passed the submarine level however.
@@MMoer that level was on the same level as the TMNT water level.
@@TheDienhart the TMNT dam level is the reason I have a fear of deep water as an adult (and anything that touches my leg in the water)
Developers: So what will be the main mechanic of this new game?
Project Manager: Yes
Seeing that puppy stage again after all these years has resurfaced some repressed trauma. Those poor puppies!
I dunno i think the snot swing, damn submarine thing and the original puppy level from the first gave me more trauma lol
Love this series more than anything else you do Ryu. Wish you would finish all the games to completion though!
This game was so ahead of its time in so many ways.
This whole episode was me screaming at my monitor "try pressing other buttons!" XD
same, so frustrating omg
I swear these let's plays and movie/tv reaction channels purposely act stupid and fake because they think it will make the content more exciting but it's really just annoying. Not accusing him of doing that but it's clear as day for many other's and it's torture.
@@HonkeyKong54 yeah ryu isn't like that at all lol he plays games because he enjoys them
Earthworm Jim 2 is still a classic, but it is _significantly_ easier than the first game. I still wouldn't call the first Earthworm Jim game an extraordinarily hard game, though. It is challenging, yeah, but a lot of it is just learning the levels. The first Earthworm Jim also has way more actual platforming compared to this game. Earthworm Jim 2 just kind of throws a bunch of gimmicks at you in every level. 😅
Exactly. Ej2 went balistic in terms of modes and playtype some more fun than others. Overall EJ1 is the better of the two
@@GarosGaming Yeah, I think I prefer the first game as well. There are just too many levels in the second game that just completely break the pace of the game.
Granted, there are a few levels in the first game that derail the experience like Tube Race or Snot a Problem!
I only played the second and its hard.
So glad that this series is back! Even if it is in a different form
Love this series!
I've played a lot of Earthworm Jim 2 as a kid. to this day every time I listen the moonlight sonata I remember that stage...
great game choice!! 👍
I forgot moonlight sonata was n this!
You've gotta love how this somehow looks better than many modern indie games (and that is not a knock of modern indie games).
Thanks Ryu, I enjoyed it a lot, but I could imagine people screaming "this is not the 1!" :p
There are mouth noises in this video that made my day!
Tiens un Français ! Salut à toi.
Holy crap dude. Earthworm Jim? I remember renting this game from Blockbuster for the first time back in like 98. Hell yeah. What a throwback!
I absolutely LOVE this game SO much
But honestly, earthworm Jim 1 is a LOT harder than the second one.
I’m so glad you still got to play this Ryu :)
Thank you for blessing us with gameplay 🙏🏽
Same here
Love the 16bit Earthworm Jim games soooo much. The first one was much harder, especially Tube Race! Oh, that level had me stuck for years!
I was super impressed by the 3D-ish effect in the puppy bonus stages at the time
This brings back so many memories from my first console. Everytime talk to someone about sega and bring up this title they dont know what I'm talking about
Would definitely love to see you play the first one.
The cartoon series was definitely in a league of its own.
That's hilarious, I noticed it was 2 immediately but thought you just decided ANY Earthworm Jim would be fine. So hilarious that you noticed it at the end! Can't wait to see you play them original!
Loved this game! If you press different buttons at the end-of-level cows screen, they say "well done" in different pitches, from super low to squeaky high. Spent ages doing that!
Extraordinarily Hard Games is one of my favorite series you do so I would love to see it make a comeback here.
Lmao he literally has a gun, and he uses a whip. I thought he was smarter 😂
I can't tell you how satisfying it was to watch someone discover this game, knowing nothing about what was coming. Was one of my favorites as a kid. What a wild, unpredictable game!
Such wacky insanity. Thanks for playing this. Really enjoying and takes me back to simpler times
God, this speaks to my 90s kid nostagia SO HARD! Would honestly love to see more! 💯💯💯
I love the EHG series but I would like to see the games played through instead of just one video. Want to see Zombies ate my neighbors completed
I grew up with this game, so I forget how mind-bogglingly silly it is. Just the sheer bafflement on Ryu's face when he reads "Jim is a Blind Cave Salamander" so great.
this game was and still is one of my favorites. the sounds the characters the weapons everything its great about jim :D the music!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the series that brought me to the. Channel. So glad to see it come back.
"I beat the first stage, it's not extraordinarily hard, it's easy!"
*A few minutes later*
"I've been bamboozled!"
I love how my man really pulled the "reads the title"

If I recall correctly, this was the first ever game to have a destructible environment
I played this a ton as a kid! I didn't notice you never expected it to be the sequel. LOL. I'd love it if we get a full LP of this game. Just keep in mind it never stops being weird and mechanics keep changing throughout the game.
I loved this game as a kid. Nothing like it. Creative. Fun. Funny.
OHHHHH The nostalgia! Holy shit i forgot how great this game was! Thanks Ryu!
It'd be awesome if you played earthworm Jim 1! Growing up it was amazing! Such an entertaining and well made game. Even the music is very well written!
I was like "somethings off here...this isn't the ewj i remember...i remember riding around on that rocket thing and grappling ledges and failing alot of parkour" But this one was good too. I never even knew they made a second one so this was still nice to watch.
I also did an artwork of Earthworm Jim once
When you realize you never made it off the first level as a child. Game was still awesome.
The first Earthworm Jim is way better imho
Ahhhh earthworm jim..just wow. Havent seen this game since i was a kid. I beat it as a kid. The first one, not the second. Thanks ryu for bringing back some memories of a more positive time
Dude this is one of my favorites. Explore the lore!

This was probably the game I played most when I got Sega TV!!! God what a great time that was !!
Earthworm Jim 2: *Take the bomb*
Steve Ryugers: "No, I don't think I will."
Earthworm Jim 2: NEED BOMB
Ryu: These old games are so cryptic, whatever could this be trying to tell me?
@@CaptainTrevino "where is a bomb? what does that even mean" i was literally yelling at my screen "THE THING YOU BLEW UP THAT SAID BOOM ON IT MAYBE?!???
4:45
The look on your face, bruh! 🤣EWJ is my boy! I love those games. LOL!
THere was a cartoon yeah. if anything seems out of place or weirdly puzzly, its because it assumes you're familiar with the show. I promise all this stuff makes sense.
I loved this game as a kid. And watching you play. I now realize I never beat the first level.
The reaction from him losing Puppy Love 1 the first time was priceless lol.
I loved this game as a kid. It was so random please finish both games for us fans!
Played EWJ1 for much of my childhood. Can't wait for the next video man!
OMG this is my childhood in a video! EWJ was a cartoon. It was awesome zany madness. The puppy that came to kill you was Peter Puppy he was cursed by Evil the Cat it’s like a whole thing!

16:00 I just freakin loved it❤ The Moment you started to brag: "ow its to easy" it just started to fall apart. Hilarious🤣
Love your Content
Classic game!! The ad that showed up before your video was for yogurt... it had cows in it... I'm dying 🤣
This game has Psy-Crow in it, so I approve.
Well done 🙂

Move it wherever just keep making them pure gold!
Man Earthworm Jim is such a fever dream. The first one has the underwater glass submarine level, which is an absolute nightmare.
To this day I have never finished that stage. Just couldn't make it without breaking it.
your face when you beat the level and ate the fish and the cow talked to you 😆 and dont you worry it gets harder youll be in love with this one, theres a reason most of us never finished earthworm jim haha
... I was just staring at the giant 2 at 1:11, puzzled. Glad it was sorted out by the end.
Did he ever figure out to how to switch weapons? 😂 use your guns dude! Also you can do a lot of moves and funny animations in this game. experimenting with all the controls is part of the fun! 🤩
I love this series! Welcome back to pain, Ryu!
This game is just a huge acid trip made into a video game.
Please complete it. Waited so long for you playing that game. Was may favorite game when I was a kid. Even if it's not that hard, it's fun to watch ;)
The shock that a genesis game could look great and be great... Kids today lol
Please bring back Extraordinary Hard Games. It is, such good entertainment. Love everything else you do though. I want your life hahaha. Thumbs up to your channel
Great game Ryu. Please do a part 2!!! I really loved this game when I was a kid, I think I was 9 when we got it and beat it with my brother as few months later. Game picks up in difficulty later on…
This was one of my most favorite games of all time.
Him not using the gun was bizzare, and how he kept running into the fish man as well while the game kept saying use pig. Wonder if its just speed runner logic to just constantly keep moving nonstop.
Alternate title: Earthworm Jim Gunless Playthrough.
Limited ammo?! Never shoot!
Cant believe you never played this. I love this for life
Imagine having a gun with over 1k bullets but you decide you want to be Indiana Jones xD. Much love, Ryu.
You gotta play the first earthworm jim! It's better than the second one.
Play them both this nostalgia filled fun :D
I fn love everything about these game's. Absolute torture though watching him not use the gun's like the whip isn't working.
Earthworm Jim was my absolutely favorite game as a kid. Then we got around to Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot 😂
"... Well done." 🐮
Bruh, Earthworm Jim would be amazing in Super Smash Bros
I've played this game quite a lot when I was a kid (on the SNES though). I'm not sure if I've ever beaten it, but I do remember all levels shown here. It's not super hard. I believe EWJ 1 is much harder, though I never really played it.
Please please please add Contra: Shattered Soldier (or Gradius V!) to your list of EXTRAORDINARY HARD GAMES!
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 are some of the best 16 bit games out there in my opinion.
your face when you used the brick house gun the first time 😆 earth worm jim is epic i used to rent this all the time back in the day. you can use your gun more bro to hit the flying dudes
See, you need to read the manual. Yes, it covers a lot of things Jim can do and what icons are what, but that's not why. Good ol' Shiny, putting jokes in every square inch of game available.
The soundtrack of this game has some amazing songs.
Oooooo, earthworm Jim 2. I haven't played the sequel but I did have a lot of fun playing the first one
This game is a total 90s fever dream.
gave you a like for sticking with the OG controller, those things were brutal on the thumbs!
I’d just like to thank you for freeing the slaves.
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 are so off the wall! I loved the series so much! Personally I preferred them on SNES because of the controller!
This is one of my favorite games from my late teens
Oh this game is such a classic. I played Earthworm Jim 2 in my childhood but not Earthworm Jim (the first one) back then. I only got to play that Emulator. I find the only level from Earthworm Jim to be somewhat hard is the underwater level. Those punching cats and submarine give me nightmares. It might be easier than that since I kinda was rushing a bit lol.
Thank you sooo much for bringing this back !!!!! 🙏
For the whole video I was like "damn I really can't remember anything from Earthworm Jim even if i played it like 3 years ago" lmao
Awesome game! I prefer that music on the snes version though. The genesis has such a crunchy synth. The snes is a bit more musical.
Edit: Cant wait for you to play the first one. Its better than the second imo, the second one is a bit gimicky. The first is way harder as well.
This is the weirdest platformer i've ever seen XD
