What the hell is an Intellivision Amico?
And that's why this game will die.

Just watched the trailer and some things stuck out as rather...insane. All games on the system are console exclusives. All games also have to be rated rated E or E10.

Oh :(

Jobbs · May 1, 2019

TIL that intellivision is making a new console.

We see a world where everyone is interested in playing at home and with friends, but this isn't currently possible because the barrier to entry is nearly impossible for a non-gamer due to the complexity of the controllers, intricacy of gameplay, expense of the hardware and software and steep learning curve with an unbalanced fun factor for the beginner.

Is this really a major problem with other consoles? They're too difficult to use?

And why is a hardcore difficult game like earthworm jim coming to a console that's designed for non gamers who find other consoles too complex?

ViewtifulJC · May 1, 2019

This is hilarious and sad on many levels

Silky this you huh

Thanks to this thread I'm now aware of another (*sigh*) bigoted moron in the industry.

Earthworm Jim was never a good game.

It had great graphics, animation, music, and a few good levels.

But the gameplay is crap. Bad and sensitive hit detection, touchy jumping, blind landings after a jump, whipping and grabbing hooks is awful, difficulty telling background from foreground, and to hell with submarine levels.

Don't @ me.

Agreed.

But at least this time we know that it's guaranteed to be a 7/10 minimum.

ThreepQuest64 · May 1, 2019

Didn't know what INTELLIVISION AMICO is, googled it, visited the official site, still don't know what the fuck this is. Bunch of social media buttons but no simple "about" page.

I think I'll just move on.

Earthworm Jim was cool at the time but massively overrated in retrospect.

So basically this thing is super dead. I feel like there's a catch here...

And just so there's no mistake, the guy is a guest writer for Breitbart.

After replaying EWJ2 a couple of years ago, it became obvious why this series died off like it did. It's simply not good.

The Amico.

Mugy · May 1, 2019

Pardon my ignorance, but what is Intellivision Amico?

Kyari · May 1, 2019

Man ... what a bummer. I love Earthworm Jim but TenNapel is poison.

Waffle-Stomper · May 1, 2019

love tennapels art (just received my bigfoot bill hardcovers :D) and would buy if it were on a platform I already owned.

scitek · May 1, 2019

I want a new Boogerman.

SNRUB · May 1, 2019

Just throwing it out there but Tennapel also believes that scum like John K. can be forgiven.

Why would anyone support the shit this guy spews out.

jack_package_200 · May 1, 2019

Lol fuck that Brietbart writing shitstain Doug Tennapl

WaluigiTime · May 1, 2019

Yeah, I am not buying a new system just for Earthworm Jim....

The whole appeal of EWJ was the cartoon style, comedy, and presentation. Even back then, people understood it wasn't the most responsive game around.

They were better action games, even back then.

Aztechnology · May 1, 2019

Whaaaaaaat the hell

HibbySloth · May 1, 2019

If Tenappel's in, I'm out.

Not like I'd buy the system for this game anyway.

Oyashiro-Sama · May 1, 2019

Brand new Earthworm Jim! YEAH!!!

*Tennapels involved and exclusive to something destined to fail*

Doug TenNapel is the lead artist and character designer for: Earthworm Jim, Boogerman, Clayfightter, The Neverhood and Armikrog. He's a weirdo transphobic hard religious shitheel

The Amico is a new Intellivision model running on what idfk it's a new console I guess?? Sure?????

lunarworks · May 1, 2019

Loved the game when it came out, but does '90s wacky gross-out humour even appeal to anyone anymore?

'A' for effort, but I'm afraid there's not even feminism there.

Quacktion · May 1, 2019

Vidiot · May 1, 2019

Never even heard of the system.

Cactuar · May 1, 2019
