Good news for Earthworm Jim fans: Gameloft is remaking the original game for an upcoming release as a DSiWare title. According to Nintendo Power, there will be a normal mode that will, for the most part, stay true to the original as a nod to the game’s fans. In hopes that newbies will be able to finish the game, an easy mode will be included that reduces damage taken, slows down enemies, and provides hints on the bottom screen.
In terms of enhancements, things really start to get groovy. We’ll be getting the typical redrawn sprites, improved sound quality, remixed music, brighter colors, all that good stuff. The most interesting part? The game actually plans on making use of the DSi camera. Apparently you’ll get extra bonus points for mimicking Jim’s facial expressions as you play through the game!
