Nintendo isn't pushing up daisies, but it is picking up worms. Specifically, one worm.

In a spacesuit.

Named Jim.

Ds-gamer.nl recently confirmed the rumors as true. Earthworm Jim, which we officially last heard from in 1996, is coming back with a new game for the Nintendo DS. Atari gave a double confirmation of this, with both a statement from Atari, as well as the upcoming release list below:

Nintendo DS:

 

August 15 2006 - Dig Dug Digging Strike
Oct 13 2006 - Asterix and Obelix Mission Wifix
Nov 10 2006 - Point Blank
Nov 17 2006 - Arthur and the Minimoys
Nov 24 2006 - Totally Spies 2 : Undercover
TBD - Earthworm Jim

Hopefully, this means a brand new game for the Earthworm Jim franchise, and not a port of the previous game. We wouldn't want seeing some fresh content featuring an earthworm in a spacesuit blasting things with a laser gun, though the idea of an earthworm in a spacesuit seems completely nuts to begin with.
