We really like the inclusion of co-op -Ĭo-optimus: The, uh, addition of co-op. Them developers really went all-out for lil' old me.Ĭo-optimus: Glad to hear it. For you old folks, there's also a bunch of new missions to play. He says while flicking his wormtail off of his shoulder.Įarthworm Jim: The co-op has been a nice thing to add - I mean, they didn't barge in on my original gig, they just added my brothers with arms into a great little mode for people to play. We got a full overhaul, but the nice artists kept my original charm.

Moving on then, how has the upgrade to HD accompanied by the inclusion of co-op been to you?Įarthworm Jim: It's been lovely. I gotta say though, it's funny to watch you old gamers try to reminisce when you were frustrated enough to break your controllers when you were lil' squirts.Ĭo-optimus: Erm, right. I dig it, ya know? It helps more people enjoy the goofy things I can do, and I don't really feel dumbed down or nothin' - I mean, I'm a worm. Moving on, how have you felt about the change in difficulty for the game, which was easily the biggest qualm most of us had when playing almost 15 years ago.Įarthworm Jim: Way to make a worm feel old. It's been a nice time off since I last saw fine gamer folks, gave me time to psych myself up for the big leap to them high definition dohickies.Ĭo-optimus: Why doesn't anyone remember the SNES EWJ? Oh well. It's been a long time - I don't think I've seen you since the Super Nintendo, how have you been?Įarthworm Jim: Oh, I'm feelin' just dandy, can't say I recall that Super Nintendo time, though. We'll also take a look at the Summer of Arcade lineup, hyping ourselves up for a great upcoming July.Ĭo-optimus: Hello, Mr. Next: Monster Hunter Rise Free Trial Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch OnlineĮarthworm Jim 2, Dig Dug 2, and Mappy Land are available now for Nintendo Switch Online.Earthworm Jim has made the leap to HD, looks incredible, and has a few things he'd like to say to the Download co-op crowd. Nintendo promised that the Switch will add more NES and SNES games were on the way and Earthworm Jim 2is a great addition to the service, which means that there could be more surprises to come in the future. The big first-party Nintendo NES and SNES might already be on Nintendo Switch Online, but there are still some amazing third-party titles waiting in the wings. The addition of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games means that those systems will get the focus in the future, and the rumors of Game Boy titles coming to Nintendo Switch Online means that there are lots of retro games in the pipeline.

The release of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack felt like Nintendo was pivoting away from adding NES and SNES games, especially as most of the big first-party titles were already available on the service, with EarthBound being one of the last big holdouts.
