Earthworm Jim 4

About

Earthworm Jim 4 started life as a potential Wii game back in 2012 before vanishing for years. The project resurfaced in 2020 as a dedicated release for the Intellivision Amico console. Players control the titular worm hero through classic side-scrolling levels filled with enemies and hazards. You navigate obstacles using standard jump and attack mechanics while collecting items to survive each stage. This single-player adventure focuses on tight platforming challenges rather than complex storytelling or open exploration. The real draw here is seeing a dormant franchise finally get a new entry on niche hardware. The game serves as a bridge between the original series era and modern indie development circles. It stands out because it exists at all after such a long silence in production history. Fans of the earlier titles will recognize the art style and humor immediately without needing to learn new controls. This title proves that retro platforms can still support fresh content for established characters even years after a project goes dark.
