New Earthworm Jim less new than expected: it's a remake
Sega recently
announced that due to a licensing issue with Interplay (a result of the newly announced Gameloft/Interplay
Earthworm Jim game),
Earthworm Jim would no longer be an option for a new Genesis XBLA game. The company then removed what was at that point the
clear winner from its
XBLA poll.
Why would a new
Earthworm Jim prevent the release of an old one? Because the new one,
G4TV's The Feed reports, is a
remake and not an original game. That means it
isn't the
Earthworm Jim 4 announced last year, and that the same game will be available on both Virtual Console (the Genesis version was released on VC in
October) and WiiWare.
