I think it looks kind of fine, but hardly any reason to buy an Intellivison Amico. I expect this thing to be going to PS5, Switch, PC, and Xbox soon after the Intellivision flops.

 

[Iced Arcade]

All 13 people are going to love this

 

[GamerEDM]

damn what a waste , would of loved to see this IP on a real console

 

[SupremeHoodie]

This looks like a flash game.

 

[loktaiextatus]

Well... thats a thing. When this Ouya 2 fails I cant wait for a port onto something relevant.

 

[idrago01]

That was pretty underwhelming it looks like a flash game and didn't even bother to animate EWJ's mouth to sync with his voice WTF

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

It was a mistake making this exclusive to the Amico Intellivision.

 

[Nymphae]

You're telling me he can move left and right? Save some stuff for the final game guys.

 

[SCB3]

Earthworm Jim is the kind of Hero we can leave in the past at this point, 1 and 2 were great games, still are, but I have no interest in playing a new one on whatever the hell this console is

 

[Walter Matthau]

edit

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I much rather replay the first two games than this. The game looks awful.

 

[NahaNago]

I thought it looked nice.

 

[Honjo]

Looks pretty bad. Doesn't feel like they captured the style of the original at all. This looks more like Spongebob than Earthworm.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Would be better utilized on an ssd with no load times

 

[CrysisFreak]

Intelliwhat?

 

[PresetError]

What the hell is an Intellvision Amico?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Doubt this stays trapped on that system.

 

[TheContact]

I hope it doesn't suck. This should not be an exclusive though.

 

[jshackles]

I enjoyed the original games well enough, but damn it's difficult to get excited about this

 

[John Day]

Hey let’s revive a decades old franchise and release it exclusively on some unknown console. It’s gonna be a bomb!

 

[Portugeezer]

Remember all those Ouya exclusives?

 

[Nymphae]

I guess it looks like that because it's cheap to produce, but it's like, is there no market for sick animation anymore? Disney won't even touch 2D anymore in film.

But I mean just look at the original art for the OG game, produced in the SNES era. Imagine a game that looked like this.

 

[Empire Strikes Back]

What is this?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Looks a lot like all the other HD platformers out there, nothing special at all about the art style or animation. If you told me this was a skin for the next Monster Boy game, I would believe you.

 

[Iamborghini]

 

[DaGwaphics]

The crazy thing is if they can sell the "this is what a Christian family console should be" narrative they are pushing to the right set of people, you might see some some of the Phyllis Schlafly type moms ruining their kids lives with it.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Intellivision.

Yeah this just looks like another indie game.

 

[shoplifter]

I was only interested for Tron Deadly Discs and a B-17 Bomber reboot

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

hm, I kinda hoped they would show more gameplay not just walking to the right.

 

[idrago01]

Will princess what's her name get a battletoads-esque downgrade? Is Doug Tenapel working on this game?

 

[Physiognomonics]

Well, they haven't shown much. No gameplay, no level design, no ennemies. But I kinda want this.

 

[Fuz]

Nope, this is the era of shitty flash animated drawings.

It's like the everything-must-be-3D era when PS1 was born.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

I liked the first 2 games but there is no way I'm going to buy the Intellivision for this.

 

[GermanZepp]

Jim deserves better

Doug Tennaple (creator of the character and person who did above art) just did an EWJ comic book retelling the first game's story. Got over $800K to make the book on indiegogo. Unfortunately you can't buy it at the moment.

 

[oldergamer]

So strange I was just thinking about earthworm jim this weekend!

He's coming out with a sequel soon on kickstarter, i'll probably pick it up whenever he puts it on indiegogo

 

[namekuseijin]

very disappointed

should be Earthworm Jim with Intellivision graphics, a step down from Genesis and even NES...

console flopping for not living up to high expectations of their nostalgia fans

 

[Unknown?]

Idk I thought it looked fine. I'd love to play it but wouldn't buy an Intellivision regardless of how many good games it has.

SNES era? Don’t you mean Genesis/Mega Drive era? Genesis does what Nintendont

 

[Nymphae]

Actually yeah I did play EWJ on Genesis, SNES just came to mind first lol

 

[Skifi28]

The intelliwhat? They're really sending this out to die, aren't they.

 

[RNG]

He said boomer at 0:19.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I'm probably going to buy this because I have a thing for cursed consoles.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Intellivision what now

ED: Oh hey it's a 5th gen iPod Nano

 

[UnNamed]

When the most interesting console war this summer is Intellivision Amico vs Atari VCS

 

[KyoZz]

Intellivison Amico

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that's surprised by "Intellivison Amico." I haven't heard of this at ALL.

Poor Earthworm Jim.

 

[JSoup]

I was more interested in the comic and artbook that was part of the kickstarter.

 

[Dynomite]

Looks like a solid Gamepass game.
