What The Hell Happened To Earthworm Jim? 

Kids today don’t realize how much of a classic this is

He needs to be in smash bros ultimate!!! Him, crash, rayman and spyro!!

like Spyro, Crash, and Medievil: Earth Worm Jim should get a remaster or at least a re-release for all games in one big collection for newer consols.

As a kid back in the 90's, I had the Earthworm Jim action figure. His head was able to shoot out from the body, and I lost the head on the second day of owning the toy. I never played with that headless toy after that. Screw my childhood.

This is one of my favorite games of all times

A new 2D or 2.5D Earthworm Jim title would work just as well today.

I played these again recently, they haven't aged so well and may not have been that great to begin with. But the presentation and those awesome toys makes up for that for sure. And oh wow that cartoon show is just an underrated classic!

Mentioned gamers that remember this are hitting their 30's an 40's. Man, I grew up with these now-obscure titles like EWJ and Vectorman. Played them quite often; it would be an absolute blast to be hired to work on a revival project now that we are older and have professional talents/trades.

Earthworm Jim let out a big "Hayyyohhh" as he got sucked into a hole in time. And the TV's continued to come down the conveyor belt forever.

A new Earthworm Jim game coming exclusively on Intellivision Amico, but I guess no one will get to play it

I sort of remember the cartoon but I don't recall the game/franchise being that big (Sonic, Mario, Street Fighter etc. were the big ones), I only discovered it years later. I can appreciate how advanced the game was for the 16-bit era, it's still highly playable now. Shame they pulled the HD remake from PSN/Xbox Live.

Seriously my favorite game ever.

I really wish the cartoon series was on RU-vid! It was rad

I loooove Earth Worm Jim! We need a remaster!! Pssst.. we also need a remaster of Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver and of Gek Enter the Geko! Pass it on!!

the reason I am SUPER surprised this video has been made is because I had only JUST started watching Earthworm Jim content again so thanks for talking about it on perfect time

Doug just made a new EWJ comic, and now he's working on some new stuff, making videos on his channel. I'd recommend checking him out if it interests you to see how the comics are made.

Nothing hurts quite as much as hearing "Earthworm Jim's resurgence may just be at hand" then immediately scrolling down to see that this video is four years old. Time told. It sure, sure did.

They need to rack up the nostalgic dollarz and make many people very happy with a 3d ratchet and clank style earthworm jim game....

24 year old here , grew up playing Earthworm Jim 2 for Genesis religiously . I loved my genesis and wish I would have gotten more games for it back then

Earthworm Jim for the next character in smash Brothers

Next video should be titled: "What the hell happened to Boogerman?"

There are comics too. Earthworm Jim The Comic: Launch The cow - we are working on the second one, now.

I come bearing news boys. He's back

I used to LOVE Earthworm Jim... and Freakazoid lol

That game was hard af 🤣

I played the game back then but forget about it mostly. I know Earthworm Jim better for his 90's Cartoon show.

We need a new earthworm Jim game on PSN and Xbox Could you do one on the “Cannon Fodder” series?

i loved earth worm jim it was tons of fun

Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 are classics. Period. #2 stands up there with MARIO and sonic.

Nothing beats the original on the Sega Genesis

Boy do i have good news for you

Hey good news, he's back.

Remember by gamer by the age of 30 today? You got that right.

Interplay is such a shell of what they once were.

1.1 million subscribers and a video with only 800 likes, youtube is a strange place

Does anyone actually own the rights to EWJ? Interplay went belly up and I know they kept ownership of a lot of their IP so EWJ is probably just waiting for someone to buy it back.

*is definitely NOT in their 30’s and or 40’s and remembers playing this game* huh. Thx mom and dad for the old soul ya gave me xd

He's coming back for a TV show.

boi,you wantto do a really gem that everyone forgot?l got you: Vectorman Ballz The first games using almost real 3D perspectives

What happened to clayfighter we need that series back with the new tech we can get better story lines and endings

Still have the magazine with the preview of the first game. I had this game on sega Genesis,it was amazing for the time

Here's hoping the new game succeeds and returns 'ol Jim back to his former glory.

With games like Earthworm Jim and Toe Jam & Earl, the Sega Genesis era was one of the coolest and most creative generations ever. The 90s was truly the best decade for gaming.

Played this so much with my dad when i was a toddler, and i now have the collectors golden disc but dont have a sega genisis console to play it on🥲

I was a cartoon only fan....and I sought out what was recent for Jim. I remember drawing my doodles with offset eyes and I think that was all because of the blind earthworm that became hero... Good ol' Jim. It's would be FANTASTIC if Jim had kids now and they became a family of earthworm heroes. They all better not share the suit. That's problematic. GenX !!!

"What the hell happened to Toejam & Earl?"

Talk about nostalgia.. haven't played this game in forever.

I remember playing the ewj game that was supposed to be a sequal for psp at a event to bad it never took off it was really fun

I played this on the dsi xl. I loved it so much lol

It's too bad the Amico is vaporware otherwise a new Earthworm Jim would had a chance. Hopefully they move the project to better platforms.

I tend to cruise through games like Sekeiro and Dark Souls these days.. but in my beginning I used to get SO mad at Earthworm Jim, and those damn flying puppies. That's how deep this game hits for me, right in my Childhood.

There was a series that was supposed to come out last year. I wonder what the heck happened to that.

They NEEEEEED to add earthworm jim to smash bros!

GROOVY!

Guess who's back, back again Jim is back, tell a friend (If you have any)

Growing up with Ace Ventura at the same time, I keep envisioning Jim Carey being the perfect AI voice over for a movie based on the game.

This game needs more love.

I miss EWJ :( Shiny was great

The rayman origins team would make a great squeal

He is returning now, no cap (animated series)

Sidescrollers dominant once upon a time

At the very least, I want a collection release for modern consoles.

Just got my EWJ comic book from Dougs Kickstarter last week! As a dumb kid I loved EWJ 3D. Menace 2 the galaxy, now there’s the real stinker.

Fan checking in! FCUKING fan checking in!! EWJ FCUKING FAN CHECKING IN!!! The nostalgia!!!! 😢 😥 Stay blessed team gamingbolt 🙏

Classic that is what happened to it

Actually there is a new EarthWorm Jim in development for the upcoming "Intellevision Amico".

You should have mentioned that a new game was goin' to be released in 2007 for the PSP but was cancelled. The only thing that lefts are some videos showing a terribly animated 3d New Junk City and an even worst looking 3d Jim. Also I don't know if anyone will play the new game because it's exclusive to a new weird console.

I am praying that they import the new one to the new systems because thats not fair for the old fans who want to play the new Earthworm Jim

Right?? I also miss Clay Fighter!

So this was the first W.O.R.M.S Battleground

Guess whos back

Wild 9 was awesome

Hahaha flucking classic

7:43 This aged like milk.

that cartoon series was my fav as a kid! I played the heck outta some earthworm jim!

timestamp 2:21 Is... Is Earthworm Jim related to Courage the Cowardly Dog?

Earthworm Jim and Gillie da kid look alike

I used to Play this on my Xbox lul

I know him from clay fighters 😂

haha yeah i dunno

Theseasonorg explains the whole bible God bless

Yes they were really good games what happened to the earthworm Jim was the Nintendo 64 version😱😱 😱 I had that crap game

Forget earthworm jim wheres vector man

Dirt worm Doug

EWJ1 - 👏🏾🤩👌🏽😍💯💯💯🎆 EWJ2 - 😃😁👍🏼🎉🎊🎈 EWJ3 - 🤔🤨🧐😒😫😑💥🔫

No what happened was Ethan van skiver sold his half to the original creator they got and if you didn’t wanna work on it no more now that guy is trying to bring back earthworm Jim Jim he has talk to Ethan Vanskiver actually has talked about it on his own channel

Earthworm Jim 2, while not hated per se, isn't universally loved, it's at best, divisive. It completely changed the tune, upped the grossout, hampered itself with gimmicks, and due to the fact that more than half the original content was cut (including roller coaster rides and a fight with Evil the Cat), it's full of half-stages. You failed.

He could be on Brawlhalla.

7:31 me who’s 16 😤😂

Forgot to mention that TenNapel has attracted criticism for his remarks on the LGBTQ community and its issues, including vocal opposition to same-sex marriage and intentionally misgendering a transgender journalist who criticized the Earthworm Jim video game. He has dismissed this criticism, and has written that "transphobe (like homophobe) is a made-up word used to slander conservative people of faith with a mental condition, and is only used by SJWs".TenNapel was also involved with Comicsgate, a right-wing campaign against perceived forced diversity and progressivism in the superhero comics. Sean Gordon Murphy had drawn a cover for one of TenNapel's works, Bigfoot Bill 2, which he withdrew and issued an apology after being made aware of TenNapel's history of anti-LGBTQ comments. In response, TenNapel tweeted that it is "more important than ever that pro-family comic lovers support my work", stating his belief that LGBTQ people are waging a "culture war" against him.

This is an easy fix,, All they have to do is re release the HD again on the Xbox and remake the second part. Once the console comes out. As soon as the sales start to drop they can release the new EWJ on the Xbox also as the 3rd game. Discarding the 3d version. And make the new game the 3rd part.. we all love EWJ but I would not buy another console just for that game..

at 1:40 which earthworm jim is that?

Doug Tenaple rocks!

There’s an Earthworm Jim graphic novel that just came out from Doug TenNapel. It’s groovy.

Spoiler alert: this system will fail badly.

Oh that's easy, jim crawled onto a driveway and the heat shriveled him up and killed him. give me a hard one to solve.

Put Earthworm Jim on Fortnite!

Unpopular opinion: I was actually looking forward to the PSP game despite how derpy some of the animations looked in its beta.

Well he fell at the bottom of a vodka bottle and he was then swallowed 😢
