It's nice to see developers not try to fix something that isn't really broken. The classic Earthworm Jim is in HD, and he's still his good old-fashioned self. I guess I'm off ta shoot some birds then - those peckers just can't take a hint. They say somethin' about "the kids think it's funny" and don't tell me nothin' else. They don't tell me anything important, they just make me shoot stuff and hover by spinning my head. Will there be a reboot of the Earthworm Jim cartoon that many of us adored, complete with potential clones of your original suit - you know, co-op style?Įarthworm Jim: Oh, I dunno. We have one final question, then we'll let you get back to whatever it is you've been up to for the time you've been gone.

There can only be one-a me.Ĭo-optimus: True enough. I like my buddies, too - but they ain't Jim. We like our buddies as much as your buddies, a lot.Įarthworm Jim: Ah, right, yep. We really like the inclusion of co-op -Ĭo-optimus: The, uh, addition of co-op. Them developers really went all-out for lil' old me.Ĭo-optimus: Glad to hear it. For you old folks, there's also a bunch of new missions to play. He says while flicking his wormtail off of his shoulder.Įarthworm Jim: The co-op has been a nice thing to add - I mean, they didn't barge in on my original gig, they just added my brothers with arms into a great little mode for people to play. We got a full overhaul, but the nice artists kept my original charm. Moving on then, how has the upgrade to HD accompanied by the inclusion of co-op been to you?Įarthworm Jim: It's been lovely. I gotta say though, it's funny to watch you old gamers try to reminisce when you were frustrated enough to break your controllers when you were lil' squirts.Ĭo-optimus: Erm, right. I dig it, ya know? It helps more people enjoy the goofy things I can do, and I don't really feel dumbed down or nothin' - I mean, I'm a worm.

Moving on, how have you felt about the change in difficulty for the game, which was easily the biggest qualm most of us had when playing almost 15 years ago.Įarthworm Jim: Way to make a worm feel old. It's been a nice time off since I last saw fine gamer folks, gave me time to psych myself up for the big leap to them high definition dohickies.Ĭo-optimus: Why doesn't anyone remember the SNES EWJ? Oh well. It's been a long time - I don't think I've seen you since the Super Nintendo, how have you been?Įarthworm Jim: Oh, I'm feelin' just dandy, can't say I recall that Super Nintendo time, though. We'll also take a look at the Summer of Arcade lineup, hyping ourselves up for a great upcoming July.Ĭo-optimus: Hello, Mr. Earthworm Jim has made the leap to HD, looks incredible, and has a few things he'd like to say to the Download co-op crowd.
