And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> I can't wait to see the new EWJ animated show. I heard this since last thursday. Everyone was fuckin excited. I bet I'm going to watch it before you guys notice it. I also wanted to see the film also. I bet the new series will continue from the old series and compared to a new series. I hope it will be better than the old series. Forget about the games, I don't play EWJ games, only the series. The series would be better.

here's hoping someone finally re-airs the first cartoon series in the states :/

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> I LOVE Earthworm Jim 1 and 2. I met Doug TenNapel at Comic Con in San Diego last year and he went to my college. The guy is awesome and I'm excited to see him get back into games.

NegativeGhostrider

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Oh, and thank you very much Interplay. This is EXACTLY the direction you needed to go.

chinesedentist

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> This is great news. And I LOVED the original Earthworm Jim cartoon, so hopefully it will be more of the same.

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Hells yeah! I played the game for hours.

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Holy crap. I can't believe I missed this news the other day.

EWJ FTW.

GrooOOOOOooovy!

Unknown-User

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> EWJ is pure quality.

Especially now I'm older and I notice both the Dune reference and Citizen Kane reference that occur in the same episode.

Hilarity.

RaptorShadow

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Screw the games just gimme the cartoon. Assuming it's as zany as the original.

@Klaymen:
Indeed. The only EWJ stuff that's been bad is stuff he didn't have a hand in...

Demaar

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> YAY!!!! this and THE TICK! were my favorate cartoons as a kid....

Jambolia

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Ahem...

HELLS TO THE YEAH!!!!

This. Is. Amazing. News.

When we heard EWJ might be coming back the other day I was very skeptical, but with TenNapel in control I'm hoping we'll be seeing a similar comeback to Telltale's Sam & Max episodes.

@Klaymen: A friend lent me Neverhood AGES ago after I pestered him for it. I got to the Totally Optional Corridor of LOTS OF WRITING and thought "hey I like story, I'll read it." It was good, but I only got about 10 rooms through before my brain died. Need to go back to it though...

WarlordPayne

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> I think the best part of this entire ordeal is the fact that Doug TenNapel gets to exercise creative control over his property again. AWESOME. Here's hoping this somehow jump-starts a Neverhood renaissance.

Klaymen

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> 2.5D please (Hey, take advantage of high res cartoon quality scans!) And use an animation studio that can emulate the cartoon as best as they can? I'm sick of the look of the new style of animation...

Kaizuden

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> I don't know whether to be more excited about the game or the cartoon. I don't think any other adaptation (whether from game to other media or vice versa) has been as amazing as Earthworm Jim. And you gotta love that theme song.

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> @kajillion:

But the cartoon was one of the best video game adaptions to date and that's no opinion. EWJ creator acted as director of the show as well and stayed true to the universe between the game and the show.

gec05

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> But the cartoon and N64 game were awful.

Oh right, they only want to make movies that at least has appeal meter of 600 million USD.

I sincerely hope they do not fuck up the transition of current-gen.

There is two things I distinctly remember in my crime-ridden neighborhood; it was the copy of EWJ that bonded a Korean and the local eses.

chemical_eng_mx

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Hey, I'm only 19, and I freakin' loved Earthworm Jim 2 on my Genesis! The cartoon was great, too, but I only got on that right before it was canceled. Anyway, me and my friends had little cow figures that we'd play with during recess in elementary school, finding more and more creative and disruptive/destructive ways of launching them (shouting "COW LAUNCHED" every time, of course).

Anyway, I may or may not be a normal case, as my earliest memory is of Legend of Zelda with my dad. A bit of an earlier start than some of my peers, perhaps?

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> @SmokeyTab: Lyrics are wrong, but only the first two verses.

It is:

Earthworm Jim!
(Not sure about this part) Munchin' soil he did crawl.
Earthworm Jim!
A supersuit did fall!

Jim was just a dirt-eating, chewy length of worm flesh,
but all that came to a crashing end, ha ha ha!

FreeThinker8675309

]]> <![CDATA[New Earthworm Jim Games? And Cartoons? Thanks!]]> Cow Launching FTW! Great news. Fingers crossed it will survive the 2D-to-3D conversion more like Mario did, rather than what happened to poor old Sonic... unless it's a new 2D game, which would be even sweeter.
