Interplay, TenNapel Partner For Earthworm Jim Game, Cartoon Revival

Interplay, TenNapel Partner For Earthworm Jim Game, Cartoon Revival Following recent news that it would be bringing Earthworm Jim to Virtual Console, Interplay has announced it is partnering with franchise creator Doug TenNapel to revive the brand with a new game, cartoon and film.

No details of the new game, currently titled Earthworm Jim 4 were given, but Interplay says TenNapel -- who was also behind critical hits like The Neverhood -- will serve as a creative consultant for the game.

The company also says TenNapel will be developing a new animated series, following an earlier series that ran on The Kids WB! for two seasons, as well as a feature film.

The last time this happened, the game was shaping up so shitty they canned it. I shouldn't get too excited, but... new Earthworm Jim stuff!

FUCK YEAH. No word on what systems it's hitting, but probably mostly everything I guess. I need to prepare myself for when they announce it's an online-only deathmatch shooter or something! I wonder if they'll keep the same opening title song in the cartoon~

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And Simian, you and I both know it's going to become a space based flying-sim modeled off Star Fox and Master of Orion.

I could get behind that if Jim was flying around on his rocket, and hurled cows at everything. And!

I loved the original games... We can only hope this new one will capture the spirit and humor of them.

Well they've got Doug back this time, so there's some hope!
