Earthworm Jim - Image 1

Earthworm Jim is getting ready for another adventure with Princess What's-Her-Name thanks to a deal between Gameloft and Interplay that has cleared the way for the former to develop, distribute, and publish an Earthworm Jim game for PSN, Xbox Live, WiiWare, and mobile platforms.

While virtually nothing is known yet about this new Earthworm Jim game, the existence of the original Sega Genesis title on WiiWare suggests that it may either be a totally new adventure or or a powered up remake, at the very least. "Mobile platforms" also indicates that we may see an App Store release as well.

The game will be available in the last quarter of 2009, with the Xbox 360 getting timed exclusivity for a whole month. Somebody get working on an HD Boogerman, quick!

Alot of PSP owners are gonna be angry, when they find out, Atari cancelled the Earthworm remakes for PSP in order to put them on the other consoles.

Anyway you do know if this is a remake, its probably gonna look like this:

Because there gonna take the PSP version and put it on other consoles, if this is a remake.

Maybe piracy is too much of an issue for the PSP? Who knows why they canned it, but it seems to me that the PSP should have easily been included in the list of platforms. Your video is proof of that.

just not much of it. Not sure if it was fun but now I'm going to definitely replay this on my PSP to see what it was like.
