@Chaz Starkey in all honestly I just enjoy Earthworm Jim the game is entertaining to play the show is cool my action figure is well made showing how good he is and it is very inspiring how you can make a worm in a suit so popular and funny also I can add worms are my 'fav bug but I jest like Earthworm Jim also I love his war cry: EAT DIRT!!!
As a kid back in the 90's, I had the Earthworm Jim action figure. His head was able to shoot out from the body, and I lost the head on the second day of owning the toy. I never played with that headless toy after that. Screw my childhood.
I played these again recently, they haven't aged so well and may not have been that great to begin with. But the presentation and those awesome toys makes up for that for sure. And oh wow that cartoon show is just an underrated classic!
I sort of remember the cartoon but I don't recall the game/franchise being that big (Sonic, Mario, Street Fighter etc. were the big ones), I only discovered it years later. I can appreciate how advanced the game was for the 16-bit era, it's still highly playable now. Shame they pulled the HD remake from PSN/Xbox Live.
Nothing hurts quite as much as hearing "Earthworm Jim's resurgence may just be at hand" then immediately scrolling down to see that this video is four years old. Time told. It sure, sure did.
Mentioned gamers that remember this are hitting their 30's an 40's. Man, I grew up with these now-obscure titles like EWJ and Vectorman. Played them quite often; it would be an absolute blast to be hired to work on a revival project now that we are older and have professional talents/trades.
I don’t want to work on revivals that have to cut through tons of bureaucracy for the IP’s. But I’m working on a throwback Earthworm Jim/ Rocket Knight hybrid game.
the reason I am SUPER surprised this video has been made is because I had only JUST started watching Earthworm Jim content again so thanks for talking about it on perfect time
Doug just made a new EWJ comic, and now he's working on some new stuff, making videos on his channel. I'd recommend checking him out if it interests you to see how the comics are made.
24 year old here , grew up playing Earthworm Jim 2 for Genesis religiously . I loved my genesis and wish I would have gotten more games for it back then
With games like Earthworm Jim and Toe Jam & Earl, the Sega Genesis era was one of the coolest and most creative generations ever. The 90s was truly the best decade for gaming.
Does anyone actually own the rights to EWJ? Interplay went belly up and I know they kept ownership of a lot of their IP so EWJ is probably just waiting for someone to buy it back.
I was a cartoon only fan....and I sought out what was recent for Jim. I remember drawing my doodles with offset eyes and I think that was all because of the blind earthworm that became hero... Good ol' Jim. It's would be FANTASTIC if Jim had kids now and they became a family of earthworm heroes. They all better not share the suit. That's problematic. GenX !!!
@The Blue Thunder Bunny One level missing, boring soundtrack, and less screen space. Saying Earthworm Jim is better on Super Nintendo is like saying Toy Story is better on Super Nintendo. It isn't.
I tend to cruise through games like Sekeiro and Dark Souls these days.. but in my beginning I used to get SO mad at Earthworm Jim, and those damn flying puppies. That's how deep this game hits for me, right in my Childhood.
You should have mentioned that a new game was goin' to be released in 2007 for the PSP but was cancelled. The only thing that lefts are some videos showing a terribly animated 3d New Junk City and an even worst looking 3d Jim. Also I don't know if anyone will play the new game because it's exclusive to a new weird console.
Earthworm Jim 2, while not hated per se, isn't universally loved, it's at best, divisive. It completely changed the tune, upped the grossout, hampered itself with gimmicks, and due to the fact that more than half the original content was cut (including roller coaster rides and a fight with Evil the Cat), it's full of half-stages. You failed.
No what happened was Ethan van skiver sold his half to the original creator they got and if you didn’t wanna work on it no more now that guy is trying to bring back earthworm Jim Jim he has talk to Ethan Vanskiver actually has talked about it on his own channel
Forgot to mention that TenNapel has attracted criticism for his remarks on the LGBTQ community and its issues, including vocal opposition to same-sex marriage and intentionally misgendering a transgender journalist who criticized the Earthworm Jim video game. He has dismissed this criticism, and has written that "transphobe (like homophobe) is a made-up word used to slander conservative people of faith with a mental condition, and is only used by SJWs".TenNapel was also involved with Comicsgate, a right-wing campaign against perceived forced diversity and progressivism in the superhero comics. Sean Gordon Murphy had drawn a cover for one of TenNapel's works, Bigfoot Bill 2, which he withdrew and issued an apology after being made aware of TenNapel's history of anti-LGBTQ comments. In response, TenNapel tweeted that it is "more important than ever that pro-family comic lovers support my work", stating his belief that LGBTQ people are waging a "culture war" against him.
This is an easy fix,, All they have to do is re release the HD again on the Xbox and remake the second part. Once the console comes out. As soon as the sales start to drop they can release the new EWJ on the Xbox also as the 3rd game. Discarding the 3d version. And make the new game the 3rd part.. we all love EWJ but I would not buy another console just for that game..
@@randybradley4151 that's what I just said.. The new game is not gonna make much money because not everyone is buying the new console.. so when sales start to drop they can release the game on the Xbox as a 3rd installment of the series. Also re releasing 1 and 2.
like Spyro, Crash, and Medievil: Earth Worm Jim should get a remaster or at least a re-release for all games in one big collection for newer consols.
He did get a remake. Earthworm Jim HD back in 2010
best games
Yeah, earthworm Jim's animations is EPIC AF cartoony
@@Somedorc Now it's nowhere to be found :(
@@Jerry4050 it was on xbox
Kids today don’t realize how much of a classic this is
I am a kid and I love Earthworm Jim
@Chaz Starkey in all honestly I just enjoy Earthworm Jim the game is entertaining to play the show is cool my action figure is well made showing how good he is and it is very inspiring how you can make a worm in a suit so popular and funny also I can add worms are my 'fav bug but I jest like Earthworm Jim also I love his war cry: EAT DIRT!!!
@Chaz Starkey does this answer your question also why did you wanna ask. did you think I was just saying that or was you curios
@Chaz Starkey oh well do you like Toe Jam and Earl
I a kid from the new generation I love old school video games and this is one of them.
As a kid back in the 90's, I had the Earthworm Jim action figure. His head was able to shoot out from the body, and I lost the head on the second day of owning the toy. I never played with that headless toy after that. Screw my childhood.
Lol
Yoooo. Same! I probably kept the head a little longer.
He needs to be in smash bros ultimate!!! Him, crash, rayman and spyro!!
hell yeah!
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! His moveset would be perfect for Smash!
Yep, that would be ballistic!
I'm sorry but,
YOU GET SPIKY HAIRMAN WITH SWORD
This is one of my favorite games of all times
I played these again recently, they haven't aged so well and may not have been that great to begin with. But the presentation and those awesome toys makes up for that for sure. And oh wow that cartoon show is just an underrated classic!
A new 2D or 2.5D Earthworm Jim title would work just as well today.
I sort of remember the cartoon but I don't recall the game/franchise being that big (Sonic, Mario, Street Fighter etc. were the big ones), I only discovered it years later.

Do you also remember Mr. Nutz?

Earthworm Jim let out a big "Hayyyohhh" as he got sucked into a hole in time. And the TV's continued to come down the conveyor belt forever.
A new Earthworm Jim game coming exclusively on Intellivision Amico, but I guess no one will get to play it
How come?
Seriously my favorite game ever.
I really wish the cartoon series was on UA-cam! It was rad
Doug just made a new EWJ comic, and now he's working on some new stuff, making videos on his channel. I'd recommend checking him out if it interests you to see how the comics are made.

I loooove Earth Worm Jim! We need a remaster!! Pssst.. we also need a remaster of Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver and of Gek Enter the Geko! Pass it on!!
That's too good to become true.
7:43 This aged like milk.
They need to rack up the nostalgic dollarz and make many people very happy with a 3d ratchet and clank style earthworm jim game....
I used to LOVE Earthworm Jim... and Freakazoid lol
We need a new earthworm Jim game on PSN and Xbox
Could you do one on the “Cannon Fodder” series?
Id buy it 100%
There are comics too. Earthworm Jim The Comic: Launch The cow - we are working on the second one, now.
Doug TenNapel will be launching the second one this year, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
I played the game back then but forget about it mostly. I know Earthworm Jim better for his 90's Cartoon show.
Hey good news, he's back.
I come bearing news boys.
He's back
With games like Earthworm Jim and Toe Jam & Earl, the Sega Genesis era was one of the coolest and most creative generations ever. The 90s was truly the best decade for gaming.
Boy do i have good news for you
Earthworm Jim for the next character in smash Brothers
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 are classics. Period. #2 stands up there with MARIO and sonic.
Does anyone actually own the rights to EWJ? Interplay went belly up and I know they kept ownership of a lot of their IP so EWJ is probably just waiting for someone to buy it back.
Here's hoping the new game succeeds and returns 'ol Jim back to his former glory.
Talk about nostalgia.. haven't played this game in forever.
Really.
What heartwarming and pleasant memories that must be.
What happened to clayfighter we need that series back with the new tech we can get better story lines and endings
1.1 million subscribers and a video with only 800 likes, youtube is a strange place
i loved earth worm jim it was tons of fun
Still have the magazine with the preview of the first game. I had this game on sega Genesis,it was amazing for the time
I was a cartoon only fan....and I sought out what was recent for Jim. I remember drawing my doodles with offset eyes and I think that was all because of the blind earthworm that became hero... Good ol' Jim. It's would be FANTASTIC if Jim had kids now and they became a family of earthworm heroes. They all better not share the suit. That's problematic. GenX !!!
*is definitely NOT in their 30’s and or 40’s and remembers playing this game* huh. Thx mom and dad for the old soul ya gave me xd
He's coming back for a TV show.
Interplay is such a shell of what they once were.
They were bought by Bethesda, as far as I know. And this is how Bethesda got the rights to the Fallout series.
There was a series that was supposed to come out last year. I wonder what the heck happened to that.
(2022)
Remember by gamer by the age of 30 today? You got that right.
boi,you wantto do a really gem that everyone forgot?l got you:
Vectorman
Ballz
The first games using almost real 3D perspectives
Nothing beats the original on the Sega Genesis
The SNES version was cool as well! I had both consoles back then and had this game on both - just because.
I preferred it on the SNES. People keep saying EWJ was one of the rare games that played better on the Genesis, but I just don't see it.
I think the Sega CD/Windows version would probably beat it.
@The Blue Thunder Bunny
One level missing, boring soundtrack, and less screen space.
Saying Earthworm Jim is better on Super Nintendo is like saying Toy Story is better on Super Nintendo. It isn't.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 Just can't agree with you man. I played both versions.
Guess who's back, back again
Jim is back, tell a friend
(If you have any)
It's too bad the Amico is vaporware otherwise a new Earthworm Jim would had a chance. Hopefully they move the project to better platforms.
Played this so much with my dad when i was a toddler, and i now have the collectors golden disc but dont have a sega genisis console to play it on🥲
I tend to cruise through games like Sekeiro and Dark Souls these days.. but in my beginning I used to get SO mad at Earthworm Jim, and those damn flying puppies. That's how deep this game hits for me, right in my Childhood.
They NEEEEEED to add earthworm jim to smash bros!
That game was hard af 🤣
"What the hell happened to Toejam & Earl?"
Lola Bunny A new game was just released last year
@@michaelsierra9 Yeah I just saw that after I posted this, lol.
I miss EWJ :( Shiny was great
I remember playing the ewj game that was supposed to be a sequal for psp at a event to bad it never took off it was really fun
This game needs more love.
Just got my EWJ comic book from Dougs Kickstarter last week! As a dumb kid I loved EWJ 3D. Menace 2 the galaxy, now there’s the real stinker.
Yeah EWJ3D isn't as bad as people make it out to be, sure it ain't no SM64, Rayman 2 or banjo but it definitively has its charm.
You should have mentioned that a new game was goin' to be released in 2007 for the PSP but was cancelled. The only thing that lefts are some videos showing a terribly animated 3d New Junk City and an even worst looking 3d Jim.
Also I don't know if anyone will play the new game because it's exclusive to a new weird console.
At the very least, I want a collection release for modern consoles.
Yes! Yes! Yes! On my Switch!
@@MrSonrayz - Only if you share with the other consoles.
Growing up with Ace Ventura at the same time, I keep envisioning Jim Carey being the perfect AI voice over for a movie based on the game.
timestamp 2:21
Is... Is Earthworm Jim related to Courage the Cowardly Dog?
He is returning now, no cap (animated series)
Fan checking in!
FCUKING fan checking in!!
EWJ FCUKING FAN CHECKING IN!!!
The nostalgia!!!!
😢
😥
Stay blessed team gamingbolt 🙏
I am praying that they import the new one to the new systems because thats not fair for the old fans who want to play the new Earthworm Jim
The rayman origins team would make a great squeal
I played this on the dsi xl. I loved it so much lol
2:32 - has "infamy" changed its meaning to something positive or you just misused it?
Sidescrollers dominant once upon a time
Microdoft should own Earthworm Jim
Right?? I also miss Clay Fighter!
Doug Tenaple rocks!
Theseasonorg explains the whole bible God bless
So this was the first W.O.R.M.S Battleground

You failed.
Actually there is a new EarthWorm Jim in development for the upcoming "Intellevision Amico".
Wild 9 was awesome
at 1:40 which earthworm jim is that?
It's the HD re-release of the original on PS3 and 360 I believe
Classic that is what happened to it
GROOVY!

EWJ1 - 👏🏾🤩👌🏽😍💯💯💯🎆
EWJ2 - 😃😁👍🏼🎉🎊🎈

Hahaha flucking classic
Put Earthworm Jim on Fortnite!
There’s an Earthworm Jim graphic novel that just came out from Doug TenNapel. It’s groovy.
Too bad he's an actual peice of shit and a scumbag of a human being and doesn't deserve to be financially supported in any way.
Unpopular opinion: I was actually looking forward to the PSP game despite how derpy some of the animations looked in its beta.
Cool vid but y’all should stay away from theory videos. Those are hella wack
