I’d say it’s surreal to see a remastered version of this game.

Four simple words, guys. EASIER THAN THE ORIGINAL.

Probably the most funny videogame ever. This release is amazing.

Wow, they SERIOUSLY ramped the difficulty on the Andy Asteroids levels something fierce! They weren't nearly half as bad in the 16-bit versions, but here it's like you have maybe a second to react before you smash into an asteroid, and it's a lot harder to "tell" where they will collide with you!

I think they went overboard with the sound effects, especially in "What the Heck?" -- it's distracting. This remake isn't bad, but it could have been much better. It should have at least had all of the levels from the previous versions. A remake should always be the new definitive version; otherwise, there's no point to remaking it. Also, I miss the Rocket weapon.

looks good.. but... not the same.. in terms of the voice acting, there is just something about the Genesis version /sega CD

20:34 Andy Asteroid Quotes: 1. Look! They're meatballs! 2. I'm a rocket man!

Why do people hate this so much? There's not much wrong with it, from what I can tell.

While i can see why many people dislike the HD remake. There are some things i do like about it... I do like the intro showing Jims backstory. It looks nice too. The multiplayer mode looks kinda fun, i just wish there was more to it, like why can't there be a second player in the main story? It may not make sense for there to be two earthworm jims. But the Co-op does not have to correlate with the story. I honestly wish the remake had more to it. Like, there should have been an option where you can switch between remastered versions of the SNES or Genesis version. It doesn't have to be a mix between both....hell, you should be able to have the Remastered themes be optionally replaced with the originals! And as a cosmetic bonus, if you managed to collect all the "earth" "Worm" and "Jim" tokens from earthworm jim 2 in each level, you will unlock the option to change earthworm jims animations and Sound clips to reflect off his appearance in earthworm Jim 2. Any you missed can be recollected by Revisiting a level in the Level Select, something i wish was also added to this game. The game doesn't seem downright terrible, its just lacking several things that could have made the experience better. Like, where was that one exclusive level that was in the sega genesis release? They added the Duodenum level, but not it?

What strange about this version is that there was a Sega CD version of this game. It added an extra area to New Junk City and added a new level. This version keeps the extra area, but removed the new level.

Everyone here criticizing the animations, music, and voice-acting... But I'm just over here thinking about the fact that two levels are missing. "Who Turned Out The Lights?" and "Big Bruty" don't even exist in this version of the game, leaving me to wonder... "Why?" Were they perhaps intended to be released as DLC at some point?

i am sad this version is delisted. i have this on ps3 and it’s gorgeous to look at and the sound improvements as well

HD stands for high disappointment.

I love how well they managed to replicate the original game, but I'm not a fan of Jim's changed voice. I can see that they tried to get a voice similar to the original, but it just sounds weird to me.

+antroloco24 Well, they messed up the voices, took frames of animation out, messed up the art, added in crude humor that shouldn't have been there (and yes, I know, Buttville. The original creators still had class though), ****ed up the soundtrack, stole a fish from Finding Nemo for Down the Tubes, stole fanart for the ending level score head, the physics are all wonky, the game's WAY too easy even on Veteran or whatever, the new content doesn't feel at all like it belongs, turned the Lawyers into Bankers for no reason in What the Heck, didn't understand how the Tex Avery-esque cartooniness worked, made Andy Asteroids practically unplayable, and didn't even contact anyone from the original team to help in its production.

I've just get here after watching a walk-through of the original and I'm shocked 'cuz the graphics and the changes that they did to that game

The "Andy Asteroids" level looks pretty nice, I must admit, although it seems that it looks a bit more difficult to anticipate whether or not you'll hit asteroids compared to the original. So far, just from watching "New Junk City," I have some things to say: the hints are somewhat annoying, and the boss fights look easier by far. I think this was a good idea, but just put into the wrong hands. I know everything has to be prettier, but I'd just connect a laptop via HDMI cable to a TV and run an emulator of the original if I hadn't any other means.

Even though it has higher resolution it feels like it's less detailed.

Oh man this version sucks. Jim is missing a ton of animation frames, the new actor tries so hard but he's just annoying in comparison to the original, and the music sounds like shit.

Am I the only one that I LOVE the HD version of this?

the music sux they should have used the music from the sega cd version which was amazing!

12:19 - 12:27 The best moment in the game ever

There needs to be an Earthworm Jim 2 HD.

I changed the setting to 240p for the heck of it, and now I feel like I am watching the 16 bit versions.

When he gets the continue, he yells Oh Yeah! 😎👌

Look how they massacred my boi

2:10 is when the game actually starts. You're welcome.

The animation looks so restricted compared to the original.

Yeah, I can see that many fans of the original version of the game didn’t like this one either. By the time it was released, this “HD” remake already felt pretty stale, even by now too. It basically feels like an attempt to make a tribute (or at least a love letter) to the Earthworm Jim franchise after the two disasters that were EWJ3D and Menace 2 the Galaxy, but it failed miserably. But all I can just say is that there are some better video game remakes out there if you’re looking for a good one.

The Original has more soul.

MEGA MAN MEGAMAN!!! You have to push the boxes into the spring to hurt the boss, MEgaMAN!! *sigh* I miss the old days when we had to use our heads

The team who was put in charge of this remake clearly had no idea of animation timing, which is quite unfortunate since the great animation of the original was one of its main gimmicks.

I know the hell level had farts sometimes when you jumped, but now in the HD version every fire sounds like someone taking a shit.

pensé que no existía un remake de este hermoso juego :')

Alpha, the rock moved!

Just miss Jim's original voice :(

They didn't even include "Who Turned Out The Light" either, which was in the original Mega Drive version as well as the Mega CD version.

34:40 is non-stop face-planting into asteroids

It's very funny to hear "Ow!" in a southern accent at 4:45 lol 😂😂😂

I don’t think SNES had that stomach stage with the little yellow stomach looking boss.

Having watched a little more. It's amazing how the music in this sounds even more like low-quality synthy 16-bit audio than the original 16-bit versions of this game. Maybe they just dropped the 16-bit version's notes into a MIDI synthesizer and threw it in this game.

That For Pete's Sake level is insane towards the end.

I don't remember the last time I was this let down by a remake...

Brutal tuning graphics! I like this!

I liked this HD version but nowdays I still prefer the original game on the Sega Genesis and his cartoony sound from the 90's.

This remake looks nice, but isn't that great. They didn't have any of the original team work on this at all, nor approve of it, and it shows: everything looks new, but there's a huge lack of attention to detail and the game feels very unpolished and unloved. The voices in this are just awful. Even if they couldn't get the original voice actor (Doug TenNapel), couldn't the guy at least not sound so high-pitched and labored? The music is pretty bad too. I'm guessing that they couldn't license the original tracks from Tommy Tallarico and so they had to make some synthy crap version that loses the impact that 1990s video game music had.

I dont know why they made that superhero acheivement. go the whole game without dying? Were they high? I could never get past the last bubble segment in the underwater level when I owned the game on the sega gamegear

This version holds your hand every step of the way. Hopefully it's not like that in original mode.

Holy crap, this just vomits all over the charm of the original.

When a game has a trial on the PS store you download the entire game via the trial, then the game itself is just an unlock key to gain access to the whole thing.

Yeah, sometimes murkier sound does fit better. Like the evil laughing coats in the dark forest level of DKC2. The echo effect makes it sound a little creepier and therefore better fits the mood of a haunted forest. As for EJHD, it's mostly the voices I have a problem with. Like Jim and the Crows. They just sound way too clear. You can practically hear the sound booth itself. I'm not saying games should never be remade in HD. I'm just saying that the parts have to match up

Very good sprite art.

Jesus were you AIMING for the asteroids?

Now we need Earthworm Jim 2 HD.

....yes it is a remake. They've completely redone the graphics and everything. And even then, it's very crappily done HD. They even cut ****ing frames out of the animations. The Genesis and Super Nintendo versions looked better. The only thing HD has going for it is some of the backgrounds.

Bro down the tubes is LITERALLY the hardest level of the game i could never get past that sht

All the bosses need a life bar in this remake....They didn't have them in the original....LOL

Graphics are excellent! Music and voice acting, not so much

Just realized the intro music is the same as "for pete's sake" stage

I have played the iPhone version but I can't anymore because iOS 11 doesn't support it (I beat the iOS version in early 2013) But I can still play the DSi version but I suck at Level 5 And I never played the XBOX or PS3 versions I wish I could though The iOS, DSi, XBOX and PS3 versions were created by Gameloft. The other versions were created by Shiny Entertainment (Except for the GBA version, which was created (and in most people's opinions, screwed up) by Majesco)

That's because Special Edition is not looping the song fully. Its second part consists of an excellent guitar riff.

Earthworm Jim for Smash Bros Ultimate

where the little mushroom cloud that came out of the suite when he dies and his head falls into it

30:00 That music tho

In this version you don't get the proper ending unless you play on a high enough difficulty (at least Hard, I think).

I had the sega cd version of this...cool voice acting, and it had the afro costume in it as well!

Everybody complaining about the music? I had the snes version back then, for me it's the original 😂🤷‍♂️

I love sonic hat kid earthworm Jim and olimar there my favourite video game characters

Part of the original charms are finding your ways around the levels and discovering the right way to defeat the bosses. And here we have arrows pointing at the direction you need to take and hints that tell u exactly how to defeat the bosses.

Love the HD graphics and the remastered audio, dislike the arrows, hints, health bars and the score. The 2nd Scuba level before "fighting" bob the goldfish was a nightmare and a source of frustration when I first played this on Sega Mega Drive II some time ago. Now it looks like cake walk... And fighting Queen Slug-For-A-Butt was a guess work for me. I didn't know she could die from just normal gunfire, I had a wild theory you had to finish her off with the head whip...

They need to stop remaking music and sfx in games. They need to just HD the graphics and walk away

LOL, what's up with this horrible comment section? They are making rants for the most insignificant things of all, it seems that they do not know that it is an HD version, what did they expect? the same shit with a horrible filter? It is the same game.

Bottom line: Don't screw around with a classic.

where's the Princess in the ending? that was the best part.

Me recuerda a la versión de DS y la de iphone

I wish this game has it on my Xbox Series X to play.

No one here is talking about the fact that the sounds in Heck are now mainly fart sounds.

It would be cool on these remakes if they added more new levels. Why cant we get a new earthworm jim 3 with these graphics though instead of just remakes? I would agree the extra loud fart noises in the what heck are kind of annoying more than anything.

37:10 The only thing I have to say about Psycrow’s failed attempts onto now is the line he said in the cartoon: “Maximum suckage.”

WOW en que xbox está Jim lombriz 😁😁😁😁 Muy bueno La remasterizacion de este groso juego

Why they had to do redo the entire ost bruh They've could used the sega CD one bruh

I agree with you. I don't feel this game is a betrayal or anything, I'm just not interested in this particular version. Like how I prefer the SNES versions over both of the Genesis versions. It's all just a matter of preference to me. The graphics are pretty sweet but I'm not a huge fan of the music, Jim's voice, or the fact that the game has to tell you how to beat the bosses. Just not my fave version is all

I'm surprised that publishers don't jump on this and look at the entire nes, snes, sega master system and sega genisis library and create hd remasters of classic games. There is a huge market for nostalgia and it is cheap to develop compared to AAA games. I read that this game sold approx 500,000 copies across psn and xbox live.

andy asteroids levels, this is the only WOL video that shows what happens when you fail the level but none of them shows the shield being used

uh...yes...it is a remake...they've complete redone the game in new graphics and everything with bonus material. And yeah, obviously people below that age will know who Earthworm Jim is. Regardless of who knows though, that doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about. And what are you talking about? Where has Doug ever shown what he would remake Jim like? As for your final statement, I played Special Edition yesterday. Won't stop me from giving my opinion.

music seems fine to me... so rockin'

you should check out Special Edition

The person who created the concept of this game is a freaking lunatic 😂 I mean cows flying space , a head bobbing singing cat in the middle of nowhere ..

This HD programs make it awesomesness.

no one talkin about the ending? no ur'e the best and no cuscene!

Aren't those the fishes from finding nemo the yellow tang?

I love the idea behind it but just by seeing this I can tell is not as good as the original in any way, and don't get me wrong the original has its flaws but it just looks, sounds and plays better than this, is a shame I was really hoping to play this.

I need that game on my Xbox 360

A kitty died the moment I heard the music

SPOILER ALERT: EL final no es como el original. Falto la animacion donde jim llega donde la princesa, y le cae a ella la vaca que el lanzo al proncipio y la corona sale donde esta jim. Despues se rompe el risco y jim se lleva la corona sin que nadie lo vea.

Originals are way better.

Does this use a emulator? Because Xbox 360 always break so you might of used a emulator.

lol they made the asteroid races even harder in the HD version xD! idk man I'm not a fan of what they did with the artwork, looks like early pixar 3D models

WOAH NELLY!!!

most awing earth worm jim ending yet
