A new update has arrived for the console versions of ToeJam and Earl: Back In The Groove that adds two new modes/difficulties to the game: Extreme and Endless. These modes are for those folks who really want to put their funky rogue-like skills to the test.
In the early 90’s ToeJam & Earl became a cult classic and thrust the two characters into a weird position of second rate mascots behind Sonic. My experience with the series began with the sequel, Panic on Funkotron, for the Sega Genesis, and then shortly after I grabbed a copy of the original ToeJam & Earl, only to find they were quit...
For this week's "Let's Play Co-Op", Mike and Locke are checking out ToeJam and Earl: Back In The Groove, a Kickstarted title that seeks to bring back a franchise that many Genesis fans remember fondly. Like so many of these types of projects, the aim is to make something that successfully hits that nostalgia center of the brain and presents something that is as good as you remember it being (which isn't always the same as the reality of how it was).
If you've been wondering whatever happened to the funky alien duo that is ToeJam and Earl, fear not. After years of dormancy, a successful Kickstarter, and a slight delay, ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove will finally see the light of day on March 1, 2019.
Some of you may have been looking forward to some old-school gaming in 2017 with the release of ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove, but you will have to hold your horses as the game is now delayed until 2018.
Remember the good old days when Sega and Nintendo were well-sporting rivals? While Sonic vs. Mario might have gotten all the attention, a little duo known as ToeJam and Earl provided another reason to give Sega consoles a second look. After more than a decade's absence, we finally get our chance to enjoy the aliens' funky platform stylings again in ToeJam and Earl: Back In The Groove.
Independent developer Humanature Studios announced that its crowdfunded Toejam & Earl sequel will feature a four-player co-operative mode that builds on the multiplayer elements of its classic Sega Genesis predecessor.
