This week's downloadable title is a treat for 16-bit era gamers, as the HD remake of Earthworm Jim is set to release on XBLA on June 9th, for the price of 800MSP.
For the uninitiated, Earthworm Jim was originally developed by Shiny Entertainment, and was based around the premise of an earthworm who accidentally stumbled across a bionic suit, and became a superhero. As well as being quite literally insane, the game (and the resulting cartoon show) was a lot of fun, and introduced some of the 16-bit era's most quirky characters, such as Peter Puppy, Psy-crow, Evil the Cat, and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head (really!), as well as some pretty unforgettable moments in gaming history, like, say for example, launching a cow into space using a fridge and a see-saw (yes, really!). Let's just hope that Gameloft do a good job with the remake.
As a special treat, I have not only included a trailer for the game after the break, but have also included the Youtube videos for one full episode of the cartoon, so hit the link for much old-school goodness. Seriously, why are you still reading this? just click the link already!
