ToeJam And Earl Confirmed For XBLA

Happy then swiftly depressing news came this morning as it emerged Sega had given the green light for Mega Drive classic ToeJam & Earl to appear on Live Arcade as part of their Classics Collection. Happy because for one fleeting second we thought it might be the quite excellent second series entry, ToeJam And Earl In: Panic On Funkotron, rather than the treasure hunt original that’ll actually see the light of day. We can remember switching the original title for about ten seconds some years ago, but its sequel, though just a regular two dimensional platformer, thrilled our useful selves with brilliantly realised comedy starring the hapless duo. Until that arrives…bah!
