Because Shiny had recently introduced a strict "no sequels" policy, the franchise was given to VIS Entertainment. Shortly after the release of Earthworm Jim 2, its original developer, Shiny Entertainment was bought by Interplay Entertainment, and then put onto other projects. Jim defeats four villains who took over his mind chambers, and finally faces the personification of his trauma: Earthworm Kim. He must collect Golden Udders to unlock the other three chambers and Green Marbles to unlock the levels within the chamber. When Jim enters his subconscious, he finds out that his four mind chambers have been taken over by his worst fears. To restore his sanity he must find the Golden Udders of lucidity. His super ego has been unleashed within his subconscious to stop the madness. His past villains have entered his subconscious and if something doesn't happen soon, Jim will be in the coma forever. Jim awakens within his own subconscious and discovers he has gone insane. Like previous Earthworm Jim games, Jim's primary method of combat comes from shooting his blaster.Įarthworm Jim is hit by a flying cow that sends him into a coma. New locations in Jim's brain are opened up by collecting Golden Udders, and new levels in each location are opened by collecting Jim's marbles. The game was not received well, with critics claiming that the charm of the originals was lost, and that despite the long development period, the game still felt sloppy and lacked previously promoted features.Įarthworm Jim 3D borrows much of its gameplay from other platformers of the era, competing with Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. The game suffered a difficult, prolonged development cycle and was repeatedly delayed until it was released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, with Rockstar Games publishing the N64 version in North America. Interplay Entertainment, having recently purchased the Earthworm Jim rights, handed the franchise off to VIS Interactive. It was the first game in the series to not be developed by Shiny Entertainment, which had recently instituted a strict "no sequels" policy. It is the third in the Earthworm Jim series and a sequel to Earthworm Jim 2. Earthworm Jim 3D is a platform video game developed by VIS Interactive and published by Interplay Entertainment for the Nintendo 64.
