Catch a Glimpse of HD Earthworm Jim in Action

Remember that Xbox Live Arcade competition last year that SEGA ran? Sure you do... you know, the one where SEGA asked fans which game they wanted to see on the Xbox Live Arcade service. Yes, the same one Earthworm Jim won was pulled from after being snapped up by another publisher. Well since then, nothing! That's how much we've heard about our earthy chum.

Until now! (I love doing that).

Gameloft's recent Earthworm Jim competition over on their YouTube channel shows a brief glimpse at our beloved earthworm in action, fresh with hamster riding, crow shooting and bungee jumping gameplay. Marvellous!

Check it out below.

  • Had forgotten all about that SEGA comp.... glad Earthworm Jim won!
  • guy looks like iker casillas
  • Good old Earthworm Jim . . . me like!
  • Didn't Earthworm Jim get taken off the vote halfway though, then ToeJam and Earl won it?
  • actually, earthworm jim didn't win the competition, it was picked up by another publisher during the poll, and as a result, toe jam and earl won that competition by default when they finished second.
  • I loved Earthworm Jim! Can't wait to play it again. I'd love the see the sequel too.
  • Gotta say altho it does look amazing... I played it to death on Megadrive (Genesis) and I was absoluty rubish at it which really puts it down for me.
  • Played too much of that game on the Sega and Gameboy... I'll pass on this.
  • Best Game Ever. I'm buying my points for this now!
  • CANT. FRICKIN. WAIT. i still have the cartridge version for genesis too btw :p
  • toe jam and earl should have won that vote it would have been fun playing co-op online
  • Earthworm Jim DIDN'T win, because the developers decided that they'd release EJ anyway. Hence the reset of the polls, and the result of Toejam and Earl winning THAT poll. Toejam and Earl is what I'm really interested in hearing about. SEGA should get their crap together and get the rights from the creator, Greg Johnson. That's the only reason these games have been taking so long to be released.
  • @11 , read comments 4 and 5, TJ&E did win the poll, and should be coming soon too
  • @4/5/11 - It was winning though, right? Until they pulled it. I'm counting that as a win to me. If I recall correctly, it had a massive lead as well. What makes me say that? Well, cause I was lobbying for TJ&E =P
  • i wanna "I
  • I will so buy this. I haven't played Earthworm Jim in 15 years I bet.
  • Both games are crap lol, GOLDEN AXE 2 should have won...
  • Isn't gameloft the ones that make games for cell phones?? Anyways looks awesome^^
  • I voted Toe Jam and Earl but I can't complain about Earthworm Jim that's for sure. Love both of 'em. Now that you guys brought it up I want a new Toe Jam and Earl.
  • yes!!!! :D
  • Haha, I AM THE NO.1 EARTHWORM JIM FAN!!! MEEEE!!
  • #17 Your taste sucks. Golden Axe 2 was terrible compaired to the first one. Earth Worm Jim is one of the best 5 games to ever grace the Sega Megadrive. So take your hate comments elsewere.
  • does anyone remember jurassic park on the mega drive now that was an awesome game played it to death though!
  • @#23 fuckin yes!!! i want that jp game to be released on xbla =P
  • @23 and 24...the master system version was better imo. would love any of them though :)
  • @12 I agree, SEGA should get their crap together..... SHENMUE!!!!!!
  • i mean earthworm jim was cool and everything but i had no idea it was like that commercial made it out to be.
  • COW LAUNCHING!!!!
  • @23/24 did either of you play Jurassic Park for the Sega CD? OMG that game was so amazing. Wish I still had my Sega/CD/32X :( one day when I was like 16 my mom sold 'em at a garage sale. So sad.
  • I remember being absolutely awful at this game but I'll still grab it when it gets released - so much fun!
  • This looks awesome, i'm glad they haven't messed around with the graphics of the original like other companies have done to classic games. I remember this game being fun and frustrating at the same time, it will be an instant buy though.
  • As much as I like Earthworm Jim and Toejam & Earl... the games I voted for (Golden Axe 2 and Streets of Rage 1) would have been better on XBLA because they're co-op games that would benefit most from an online community.
  • Earthworm Jim is a great classic and all, but I would have rather seen Shining Force 1 OR 2, Beyond Oasis, Landstalker.....something along those lines with HOURS of gameplay. LONG LIVE SEGA
  • I thought Toejam & Earl won the contest?? Oh well this is just as good.
  • this is amazing, simply amazing. I cant wait!!
  • At Comic Con 09' in San Diego, I picked up a bootleg of The Animated Series of Earthworm Jim, and then I walked over to Doug TenNapel's booth (the creator of Jim)and showed it to him. He took out the sleeve and wrote across the bottom, "I APPRove. -DouG TenNaPeL" F**king awesome that this game is coming out soon for the 360 Arcade soon.
  • Earthworm Jim on mah xbox?! Me likey very much.
  • I liked EJ back in the day. I even loved the cartoon. Still, nostalgia isn't enough to make me shell out money for it.
  • As long as i dont have to bounce puppies on a mattress again and get mauled by that dog lol.
  • Meh, EJ is a good game, for its time. I use to play it all the time on SNES.
  • awesome i love this game! i mean i could'nt get past the secound lvl because i was 5 at the time but i loved killing those damn crows LOL. I might be able to finsh it this time.
  • Delicious. As great as it will be....WHERE IS VECTOR MAN????
  • @23 24 25 is that the same jp game as on the snes? I loved that game! Good balance between open world and doomlike fps. Aaaah the memories =)
  • I'd really like to get one of those t-shirts.
  • @42 wasn't vector man in the sonic arcade collection disc?
  • @ 45 Was it? I thought that was all sonic games.
  • yay EJ is cool !!!
  • im excited about earthworm jim coming to the arcade. and that girl in the video is cute as well.
