The Making Of Earthworm Jim: Worms, Beasties, Rocky Mountain High
9:30PM Luke Plunkett | During the 90’s, Sega had a reputation for some fairly left-field (for the industry/time) marketing. Here’s a great example: the making of Earthworm Jim. WARNING: features John Denver. More »
Weekly Wii Update – Earthworm Jim And Strong Bad, Together At Last
12:20AM Mike Fahey | It’s a banner week in Nintendo downloadables, with two releases that are so exciting they could only be accompanied by one of Nintendo’s little Art Style WiiWare Titles. Poor little Art Style: Rotohex (600 points) is fixing to be completely overshadowed by the third episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, Baddest of the Bands (1,000 points), in which our titular hero attempts to completely dominate the “Battle Royale of the Bands” with his signature style and dashing good looks.

Earthworm Jim Shines On Euro VC
3:20AM Mike Fahey | I’m not usually one for posting about the European Wii Shop Channel releases, but this week’s offerings have me completely jealous and it’s just not fair at all. Today sees the release of two of the best games the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive, if you prefer) had to offer, and I am going to hold my breath until the come to North America. Not only do you Europeans get the Shiny classic platformer Earthworm Jim, they’re also getting Shining Force II, Sega’s tactical role-playing gem, possibly the sweet spot in the entire series. Dammit. Both are going for 800 Wii points, and they’re both eventually coming here, but still. And yes, I do own both cartridges for my Genesis, but that’s hardly the point. You guys have better food, better women (with notable exceptions!), and better VC games. Next World War we’re staying home. Unless of course we start it. More »
New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!
12:20PM Luke Plunkett | Aged between, lemme see, around 22-40? Like spacemen and earthworms? Let’s dance. Because Douglas TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim, has just signed a deal whereby he’ll act as creative consultant on not only a new Earthworm Jim game (Earthworm Jim 4), but also a new animated series and feature film as well. No details on timeframes or anything like that – for the game or cartoons – but publisher Interplay will no doubt have something to say about that come E3. More »
Earthworm Jim, Clayfighter Coming To Virtual Console
4:30PM Luke Plunkett | I know, you’re a little over the Virtual Console. Sure, pleasant surprises like C64 games get your attention now and again, but for the most part, you’re done with it. Just…look, give it one more chance, OK? For Interplay’s sake. Because, yes, they’re releasing some of their classic titles onto the service, including Clayfighter, Boogerman and both Earthworm Jim titles. All four are due “later this year”, and if this is a deal-breaker, they’ll be the Genesis/Mega Drive versions. Earthworm Jim, Clayfighter to Virtual Console [1UP] More »
