Earthworm Jim is getting a new game...as an exclusive on the Intellivision Amico

Yet another franchise revival is on the way, as Earthworm Jim will be getting a brand new game, 25 years after the original release of the 90's classic. It's also a good reminder that the Intellivision Amico console is slated to release in October 2020, as this game will be launching as an exclusive to the platform. Bringing together the 10 members from the first game's development team, this will be the first time they'll have worked together on a project in over two decades.

A 20-minute livestream will occur on May 4th, where the team will explain a few more details about the game. Tommy Tallarico, composer for the series, current CEO of Intellivision, and the man behind the creation of the Amico, had this to say about the reveal of "Earthworm Jim 3"

We have been talking about this moment for many years, it’s a dream come true to finally get the entire team back together. We’re looking forward to sharing a small part of our reunion and initial design meeting with fans from around the world. Intellivision Amico is designed to bring friends and families together and we are excited for fans and those just being introduced to the series to get a first look as we kick-off the design of the game.

That would be ideal, but I think it's an exclusive *because* it's the Intellevision CEO "getting the band back together", thus it's all funded and paid for the purpose of being a draw for the new console. And it worked--it made everyone go "oh that's awesome--wait an intellevision what?" and now people know it exists.

IDK what to feel about it to be honest.

So playing this game will even be more expensive that the midquel to Pyschonauts? I love Earth Worm Jim but I am not buying a new console for a single game.

I don't know Intellevision and I only know Earthworm Jim as a 90s cartoon that I hardly remember.

If they're trying to make a comeback, then maybe they should try and reach out to more than just fans of an obscure video game franchise.

This Intellivision Amico makes me think about some cross-project between AtariVCS & OUYA...
I'm not really optimistic...
