New Earthworm Jim title announced, exclusively for next-gen Intellivision. You heard me.

I don't want that thing, so I hope the publisher wises up and releases it for more popular consoles.
like Atari VCS and NeoGeo 2

Launch title for Atari VCS this summer?

I will not be buying an Intellivision. If EWJ hits something I own then I'll be interested to see how it came out. Not super-thrilled at Tennapel's name being on it, though.

Melf and I were talking with Tommy T a bit at the Portland Retro Game show and went to the unveiling panel they had for the intellivision. He's clearly incredibly passionate about it but there were a lot of warning signs going off about the console. I'm doubtful it's going to work out in the end and hopefully that means this makes its way to Switch as well.

Hopefully it hits something people will own and play, like Steam.

I've been seeing this go around a lot lately, and I can't make sense of it.

Like, yes, I get that Tennappel is a pretty garbage human, and if you're not comfortable supporting him, I get that. But the idea that anyone other than him could make an EWJ game makes no sense to me. The ENTIRE appeal of that franchise is Doug's characters and world. So if you want to cancel Doug, you have to cancel EWJ, too.

Their pitch video for it kind of made no sense too, and spoke of people who don't really know shit about hardware just spewing out shit they assume people want to hear.

I don't know anything about dude's politics and see no reason why I should.

Well, he was a Breitbart columnist for a while. In recent years he has learned that being vocal about his politics is bad for business, but he was pretty outspoken for a time. He's a particularly nasty homophobe.

A guy that is known for a character that attacks by whipping out his worm?
