It's long been rumored, but now it's finally definitive: Earthworm Jim remake to be released later this year, on XBLA, PSN, iPhone, and WiiWare. It'll be exclusive to XBLA for one month.

Color me excited! Whatever color that is!

YES!!!!

I love EWJ. One of my favourite platformers ever. So quirkey and funny it's got 90's British developer written all over it.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the idea. As much as I loved Earthworm Jim, I'm not keen on seeing every single classic game remade in "HD graphics", where it just looks like they've gone over the sprites in MS Paint.

I loved the Monkey Island remake, adding in better music, sound effects and voices is something the game really needed, but do we need a remake of Earthworm Jim..? What's wrong the original?
