#Blog The Game & Watch - Zelda edition

I finally received my little Legend of Zelda Game & Watch! 

It's not a great plug and play system. But it's certainly better than the Mario one. Zelda 1, 2 and Link's Awakening! Great bundle!

Plus I still adore the clever cutey packaging.







 

 Cute stuff. Wait for it to go cheaper, tho.

#CartoonNEWS Earthworm Jim Animated TV Series - Interview Jim

 There's an upcoming cartoon (and game?) reboot of Earthworm Jim coming up. Without series creator Doug TenNapel (because.. I guess modern politics got hime too?), and without game director David Perry's involvement. I dunno how to feel about this. Feels too much like an Hollywood reboot/remake, you know. Without the original creators and a completely different direction.

I mean, I also miss Dan Castellaneta's voice here. And the new setting/setup seems too different. A bunch of worms? Jim is fullon an alien worm, not just an Earth worm given a supersuit? Not one Psy-crow but a full on "Psy-crow-inspired species"? I dunno.. And I imagine they're gonna cut the classic characters that are either Doug TenNapel's or too 1990s (goodbye Princess What's-Her-Name, I'm sure). It kinda feels too distanced, too Sonic Boom-ysh for me.

Wait and see..
