My my, it's been a long long time since we last saw Earthworm Jim. I was still a kid when the Earthworm Jim craze had reached its peak: some excellent games on the Genesis/SNES, a freaky cartoon on the WB, and some pretty weird action figures. The series' unique gross-out humor seems poised for a big comeback, as the PSP is getting an impressively beautiful continuation. IGN grabbed some screens from a recent Atari event and had some pretty positive impressions:The spacesuit-wearing worm has indeed return. More importantly, he's returned in proper form. The game plays very much like its 2D predecessors... What makes it special, though, lies strictly with how developer Shiny Entertainment mixes those elements to form something altogether groovy and unique.You'll be sure to see more of this game on the Fanboy, as it still has a long time left in development.

I hope it has a classic Earthworm Jim game as a bonus or something. That would be kick ass.
Despite that fact that I played the old school earthworm, I'm going to hold out on this game. Cause if its like Ultimate Ghost n' Goblins then whats the point of getting this game? Who knows though, I might end up picking this game up anyways.
Damn you nostalgia!

The screenshots look exactly like the SNES version 10+ years ago

Earthworm Jim was good, but come on now. Bring back the Ray-Man. Rayman would beat the $@&* out of "Jim" anyday.
Hey I said he was good, not great.
