In Angry Video Game Nerd episode 208, The Nerd opens up a can of worms and takes a gross out look back at the Earthworm Jim series! Often hailed as classics, The Nerd looks to find out if the original Sega Genesis games (or the 3D one for N64) still hold up, or, if they were simply a flash in the pan of the 90s.
Written and Directed by James Rolfe

Gameplay by James and Sean
Note: The music in Earthworm Jim level 2 is actually Night on Bald Mountain, not Ride of the Valkyries.

The animation in EWJ remains exceptional.

@Goblin_Hands Год назад

Music/sfx, design, and even difficult gameplay (if you enjoy a challenge) are all beyond stellar, which is the only flaw people seem to give this (and a hilariously disappointing ending.) The game is progressively hard because it chooses to be, not because of bad controls from the beginning like Top Gun. It's like people complaining about Resident Evil tank controls. Believe it or not, it just takes practice, but everything is consistent and clear so you can improve, which is why people still do speedruns and aren't complaining about broken controls, but with Earthworm Jim everyone knows how to platform so there's even less of a learning curve but more of a difficulty curve, which more games should have.

@diplamatikjuan3595 Год назад

Hearing a 16 bit rendition of Moonlight Sonata is still quite a unique feeling for me (it’s one of my favorite piano pieces). And since the SNES and Genesis each had a unique sound to their music due to their different sound chips I feel like each version fits a slightly different mood.

I've been waiting over a decade to hear what avgn had to say on earthworm Jim 3d. it was the most anger I had ever felt towards a video game when I was a kid back when you would rent video games on the weekends. That psychrow boss fight was easily the most frustrating experience I've ever had in a video game.

@DragonHeart613 Год назад

AVGN is back & so is Earthworm Jim, feels like a reunion with 2 much-missed old friends👍

@paulsmith9192 Год назад

@DragonHeart613 So to clarify, is James is still technically playing the game when hes on the couch?I saw the making of video & I think he mentioned he isn't. So,when hes playing its,technically, off screen?when he rants theirs nothing in front of him?

I was born in 1989. My Dad was a gamer. I’ve been a gamer for over 15 years, thanks DAD[r.i.p] From the ages of 2yrs old-10yrs old I was blessed to have grown up with having the TurboGrafx-16, The NES, The SNES, The Gameboy Color, Nintendo DS, The Nintendo64, PS1, PS2, The PSP, PS3, PS4[now in 2023] Nintendo Switch, & eventually I’ll get the PS5. I NEVER had a Sega Genesis but my older cousin by 3yrs, Markus, had one & he would let me play all the games he had when I would spend the night at his house. Sega Genesis had some incredible games & graphics in the 90’s, The Sonic The Hedgehog franchise is my favorite, EarthWorm Jim, Street Fighter 2[I had this game on my SNES, but it was also cool on the Genesis] Aladdin, NHL, Alisia Dragoon, Magical Hat Taruruuto-Kun, Altered Beast, Mega Bomberman, Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs, Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Splatterhouse 3 & so many more games.

I got Earth Worm Jim for my birthday and for literal years, I couldn't pass the water level until I came across a friend's Nintendo Power that described a secret passage of wall that another oxygen tank. Since those days, I've beaten the game many, many times and if you know why the cow was launched, you know.

Wild to think I’m going on 30 and have been watching avgn since around 2007. I don’t keep up with everything but it’s still cool to see what’s going on every few months. One of the realest RU-vid series still ongoing.

Earth worm jim one has multiple endings: complete it on easy, and you get a definition of what is a worm, normal you get the cow landing ending. Complete on hard and you get the message "U'r the best" and they tell you how great you are. Utterly brilliant.

Shiny made Earthworm Jim in 1993. Shiny also made MDK, in 1997. In Earthworm Jim, the cows gets launched. In one scene in MDK, it's inexplicably raining cows. The same cows that got launched in 1993 comes back down in 1997.
