I would like a new EMJ game, but only in 2D, I don't like the idea of 3D jim.

The Cartoon was awsome though, if the were to bring that back although the probaly wouldn't have the same writers that made it so good in the first place anyway,

Good luck to them, i've always loved the Earthworm Jim games and with the creator on hand to offer his insight this should hopefully be another good entry to the series.

Why oh Why oh Why...
Whats the point in trying to bring back a series which was only successful in the 90's.

Surely developers know by now that old titles/franchises that are brought to the current gen are never as popular as the originals and are never as good as everyone remembers them to be. Leave it to rest...

Oh god, all I can picture is a 'wacky' cell-shaded 3D platformer with major camera issues and dodgy controls.

I have the fear :(

Hopefully they have learned something from the abysmal EWJ 3D! But WOOHOO all the same! And MDK too!

@ LazyDan

Yeah, sadly, that's what I see, call me cynical. But I'm going to root for the game anyway coz Jim used to be so cool. Hopefully they'll release the first two on XBLA.

holy crap. I only just realized that the voice of Earthworm Jim was Dan Castellaneta aka Home Simpson.

No wonder that cartoon rocked.

I have to agree that a 3D version wouldn't work and I too have the vision of it having loads of glitches and a crup camera, if it were to be in 3D, but the return of the awesome Jim sounds great to me having originally played it on a SNES.

I would also like to see the original game put on XBLA, in fact, i've been waiting for it to be annouced on there since I got my 360, and now my dream may come true... being able to finally play the "groovy" scene in HD everytime a level is completed , hitting a button on the controller as quickly as possible to get Jim to keep saying "gr..gr...gr..gr..gr.." and laugh at his cartoony face! those good ol' days!
