Obviously you should all pick Shining Force

Unfortunately everyone it seems wants Earthworm Jim

Enl · « **Reply #1 on:** August 15, 2009, 12:03:25 AM »

Hmm...

Toejam and Earl with online multiplayer sounds tempting. The others I'm probably better off playing emulated.

MCD · « **Reply #2 on:** August 15, 2009, 12:12:52 AM »

Voted for Shining Force.

drew · « **Reply #3 on:** August 15, 2009, 12:18:14 AM »

+1 for earthworm jim

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #4 on:** August 15, 2009, 12:28:37 AM »

+1 SF, but it looks like EWJ has it pretty well wrapped up. Anyway, if you really want to play SF or any other game just go get the romz yarrrrrrrrr

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #5 on:** August 15, 2009, 12:30:16 AM »

more like "vote for the next UGC game to be resold to you on XBLA" $:-\$

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** August 15, 2009, 12:35:58 AM »

Exactly, which is why you should pick Shining Force. There were no achievements for that on UGC

I voted SF for demi but he has his work cut out for him.

drew · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2009, 01:13:38 AM »

its no surprise that earthworm jim and toejam & earl are the top two

those were some of my favorite games on the genesis

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #9 on:** August 15, 2009, 01:20:23 AM »

Voted for Shining Force too but I wouldn't mind playing Earthworm Jim again (haven't played it since physically owning and playing it on a Genesis). They need to put Shining Force II on XBLA and there shouldn't be a vote, just fucking release it!

drew · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2009, 01:25:48 AM »

if i remember correctly earth worm jim 2 was a better game

im probably not remembering correctly

You can vote once per day, btw. Not that it will make any difference. Looks like one less game I won't have to buy :snub

Trent Dole · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2009, 01:46:54 AM »

SF is in third at least.

Toejam and Earl does NOT hold up well at all... remember really liking it as a kid, but nowadays it's much too sluggish to play. Not to mention I hate games where you don't even know what the items do until you use them.

drew · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2009, 02:43:54 AM »

its inclusion is justified by nostalgia alone

which is basically the reason for these things anyway

what was the ewj where you swim through a brain or lungs or something and you couldnt touch the walls?

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** August 15, 2009, 02:50:46 AM »

I know what you are talking about it's that stupid fucking level where the orb cracks.

I think that was in Earthworm Jim 2, where for some reason you were a newt or a salamander. I don't even remember why.

The level demi is talking about sucked, I hated that level and usually quit when I got to it.

I can definitely do that but there's something about favorite games of mine being released on PSN/XBL. I mean, I own the physical Wild Arms disk for the Playstation and I still bought it on PSN for $5 :'(

You sir FAIL the cheap ass gamer test.

Since you've failed so spectacularly, let me know if you want to buy my cart of SFII. I have the box and everything.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** August 15, 2009, 03:00:46 PM »

Oh Wow. Sega cashin in on more Genesis games instead of Saturn or Dreamcast that we can likely find on their multiple Genesis compilations.

What else is new?

the poll is broken anyway. its not showing up for me at all.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #24 on:** August 15, 2009, 06:22:37 PM »

I beat EWJ on hard when I was like 9 with no save states and shit so It'll be a piss easy 200 at least. I'd like to replay it.

And yeah that submersible orb thing level was a pain, took a lot of patience and practice.

Earthworm Jim Announced for the XBLA
Written Monday, August 17, 2009 by Alan Pettit

Now, let me clarify one thing right off the top here. This is not a result of the 20th Anniversary Voting we reported on a few days ago. Despite Earthworm Jim being included in that and being in the lead, this is a different announcement altogether. In fact, the website hosting that vote (www.genesispoll.com/) has either been taken down or flooded with votes, because it now displays a "403 Forbidden" error.

So, with that said, Interplay and Gameloft have struck a deal that gives Gameloft exclusive rights to develop, distribute and publish Earthworm Jim. It will be coming to pretty much all platforms (and perhaps some mobile devices) before the year is out., with the Xbox Live Arcade getting one month exclusivity. Rejoice!

Now we just have to wait and see what happens with that poll I mentioned earlier. My vote went to ToeJam and Earl, and with this recent announcement, not to mention it being second place in the running, I feel it may win by default.

Update: The poll is now back online with Earthworm Jim removed. Everyone vote for ToeJam and Earl!

i just checked the site and it is indeed back up

Same here, and add Safari to the list of browsers.

drew · « **Reply #28 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:32:44 AM »

thats weird i can see it just fine in firefox

toejam and earl is up to %50 of the votes

edit: which is only 647 votes so theres still hope

Bildi · « **Reply #29 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:43:09 AM »

Yeah, blank square in Firefox. SEGA living up to their reputation of fucking things up.

muckhole · « **Reply #30 on:** August 18, 2009, 07:59:26 PM »

It's finally working for me now in IE. Shining Force is in third place, however.

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:12:47 PM »

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANT STREETS OF RAGE 1 its so OLD and ARHAIC just fucking put SOR3 on and be done with it

drew · « **Reply #32 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:15:10 PM »

speaking of old and archaic i just watched a youtube of toejam and earl and couldnt tell what the fuck was going on

Bildi · « **Reply #33 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:19:42 PM »

I dunno, I think Toejam and Earl sucks in spite of rave reviews in the day.

Anyway, I put in my vote for Golden Axe II.

drew · « **Reply #34 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:20:55 PM »

i dont think i ever played toejam and earl

i think i confused it with that spot 7up sidescrolling game

The Sceneman · « **Reply #35 on:** August 19, 2009, 09:01:08 AM »

Toe Jam and Earl has some nice early 90's schtick (sic) going on, but other than that its worthless.

Golden Axe 2 is hilarious.

Streets of Rage 1 is a huge step down from 2 even, who the fuck voted for that?

I voted Revenge of Shinobi because its tough as nails and AWESOME

tiesto · « **Reply #36 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:39:07 AM »

I thought SOR1 had a fantastic soundtrack, I like it more than even SOR2's tbh, although the sequel is much better and deeper gameplay-wise. Wasn't nuts about 3 - although it's got an even larger moveset than 2, the garish backgrounds and awkward music ruin it for me.

Im surprised you dont like the music in SOR3 tiesto. Its pretty unique/avant-garde/cutting edge stuff IMO. Definitely Koshiro-san's most ambitious work. Love it, personally. But I listen to gabber
