“We have been talking about this moment for many years, it’s a dream come true to finally get the entire team back together. We’re looking forward to sharing a small part of our reunion and initial design meeting with fans from around the world,” said Tommy Tallarico, Intellivision Entertainment CEO/President and original Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 composer and sound designer. “Intellivision Amico is designed to bring friends and families together and we are excited for fans and those just being introduced to the series to get a first look as we kick-off the design of the game.”

The Intellivision Amico, launching October 10, 2020, is a home video game console designed to promote family-friendly multiplayer experiences for up to eight players. Players will have a choice between regular controllers and mobile phones. Designed to appeal to nostalgic gamers and families, all titles will be rated “E for Everyone” or “E10+”. How these features will affect the upcoming Earthworm Jim game is unknown.
