Khorsan said:Hold it SSbMasterFox! I believe the reference there is that ol' Jim _originated_ in a cartoon. All those you named were in games before their show. (and DK, if I recall, only had an animated show, not standard cartoon sort of show)
But the statement stands, Jim came from a Show before the game, which neigh kills his chance. But I think our belevolent derector might be refering to characters exclusively or mostly associated with their cartoons. Earthworm Jim, to me and many people I know, is mainly remembered for his game. Time will tell.
Wikipedia said:The game was developed by Shiny Entertainment, released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994,
Unless 1995 comes before 1994, the game came first. He's still not very likely, though I would love to see ol' Jim again.Wikipedia said:Earthworm Jim is an animated television series which ran for 23 episodes in 2 seasons from 1995-1996 on the WB Network, based on a video game character created by Doug TenNapel for the 1994 video game Earthworm Jim.

Would you enjoy when you see this character select screen and see Earthworm Jim between Mario and Link?
That's because you're a clown.Diddy Kong
I'd rather have Ronald McDonald or something
Really? I'd be wondering why a worm was talking to you.Diddy Kong
I even offered helping him finding his suit back but I couldn't cause all people around asked why the **** I was talking to a worm.
So you don't want EWJ in the game because he molested you?Diddy Kong
Then I pulled my pants down and I've noticed Jim wasn't in my pocket anymore... o.o Im sorry to tell you but your favorite action hero is homosexual and he sure knows how to tell that...
Well he molested Diddy Kong.ilabb
What exactly do people have against Earthworm Jim?
I don't think anyone could dispute the awesomness of Elmo, but EWJ is cool too.xianfeng
This is a joke right? Elmo would be better than Earthworm Jim (I am 100% serious elmo rocks!)
Earthworm Jim was a game way before it was a cartoon, & there's even an EWJ reference in Donkey Kong Country 2. After you beat the game, when you go to the DK coin hall of fame to see how you compare to the "video game legends"(Mario, Link, & Yoshi), Earthworm Jim's gun is on the ground next to Sonic's shoes.Mic_128
1. Sorry, but the director said that he wasn't going to be taking charactrs from anime. And concidering Earthworm Jim was from a cartoon before he was a game, it's just not going to happen.
That isn't true though.Khorsan
Hold it SSbMasterFox! I believe the reference there is that ol' Jim _originated_ in a cartoon.

Earthworm Jim's game was BASED ON THE TV SHOW!
freeman123 said:I think Earthworm Jim would be an awesome character. I don't think he'll be in it though, because he hasn't had a game in a very long time. I know that the same can be said for other characters in Smash, but EWJ is also 3rd party. Being 3rd party or being from a really old game(s) doesn't make it impossible to be in Smash, but when a character has both going against them I wouldn't put any money on that character being in the game.
Earthworm Jim is a sort of iconic character to anyone who grew up playing video games in the 90s, in that anyone who played games during that time would recognize him. If you look at the age group that plays Smash, most of them probably grew up during EWJ's time. He's not impossible, & the only thing that makes him seem any less likely then Snake was is that he hasn't been in a game in forever.
EWJ is cool too.

The show was based on the game. It's funny how Mic says something incorrect & 300 people say the same thing, instead of considering the fact that he could be wrong & looking for the information themselves...
But none of them originated from a cartoon. Jim did. And it kinda does matter when the guy making it says he won't.SSBMasterFox said:Mario was also in a cartoon. and DK, and Kirby, and Meta Knight, and Pikachu, and Pichu, and Luigi, and Bowser, and Mewtwo, and Jigglypuff, and Yoshi, and Peach.

If Microsoft owns them, then how come Diddy and Cranky shows up in the DK Bongo games and Mario Tennis with no mention of Microsoft or Rare in the credits? I am 100% positive about the franchise switch; I'm just not sure about DKR characters.CodeBlue said:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong#History
That should clear it up perfectly. BTW Diddy, Dixie and K. Rool were made by Rare, which means Micro$oft owns them.

Diddy Kong said:<___________<;;;;;;;;;; Seriously... Would you enjoy when you see this character select screen and see Earthworm Jim between Mario and Link? I'd rather have Ronald McDonald or something... But this is just lame.
Yeah I do, he's no Nintendo character. He hasn't appeared on a Nintendo game, nor on TV anymore for around... 8 years? And I just dont ****ing like the idea. Would you LIKE to see him there?Wash said:Just because you don't think someones idea is the best, try to at least show some respect. You don't even have anything to back up your comment.
I've never played through one of the games, so I really can't say, because I don't have a clue what his moveset would be. I think any character, built right, can be a cool character. Plus I thought he was part of Nintendo (sorry ).Diddy Kong said:Yeah I do, he's no Nintendo character. He hasn't appeared on a Nintendo game, nor on TV anymore for around... 8 years?

I believe it was Shiny Entertainment.Shark X said:Earthworm Jim used to be awesome back in the day. I think I could even see him in this game. Who owned him again?
