The Earthworm Jim series accomplished something that very few platformers have ever dreamed of doing: combining humor with great gameplay for an all-around fun experience. So when David Perry (founder of Shiny Entertainment) vaguely mentioned a new Earthworm Jim game, you better believe that us fans became giddy as a pack of rabid schoolgirls.
“We reformed the (Earthworm Jim) team and they were all into it," said Perry. "Trust me, all the original Earthworm Jim guys are still very interested in the whole idea; just know that it'll happen eventually."
Seeing as how the original team is working on this game, the chance of suckage is relatively low. But depending on whether or not it ends up being a 2D or full 3D title, that could change.
So, which systems would you want Jim to appear on?

Personally, I think they can do wonders with a Wii Earthworm Jim game.
I just hope I don't have to see that little intestine dude again. Fuck that guy. Way too much for a little tyke like I was back when I played it.
Did anyone play Earthworm Jim 3d?
I'm stoked for EWJ, if TenNappel is involved. 2d XBLA sounds the most probable, or DS/Wii.
Way to go.

PLEASE WILL SOMEONE MAKE A GAME LIKE SOLDAT FOR THE WII
Now put up a new article/post!
Is Shiny the new Squeenix?
No, probably not.
SCREW CONSOLES! GoW, Halo3, Mass Effect won't make me buy an xbox360, but if this becomes an XBLA game, who knows what will happen..
..poor wallet.
Thank you.
However, as fun as many XBLA games are, I can get games like that for free on my PC. Freeware titles, indie titles, open source, you name it. That is not one of the selling points of the xbox, it's one of the selling points of the interwebz.
