As of 2020, none of the game's files, nor has a demo of the game resurfaced.
AvalabilityĪ test demo was never released for the PlayStation Portable port.
Also new was a crouch feature that would have allowed players to crawl into smaller places. Earthworm Jim would have also allowed for players to collect different parts for powerups on Jim's suit. One referred to as "The Birds and the Bees" would have seen Jim caught in a war between birds and bees. The port would have classic levels like "New Junk City", but also would have added new levels. Released gameplay footage shows that the port was using 3D graphics, but with 2D gameplay. Due to failed renegotiations, Atari ultimately shelved the project by mid-2007. Atari had noticed the financial troubles and tried to renegotiate the contract between Atari, Interplay, and Shiny Entertainment, but failed to strike a new deal on royalty payments. By this time, Interplay was facing financial trouble as they were also working on a Fallout MMO and had to pay royalties to Shiny Entertainment.
This port of Earthworm Jim was being developed by Interplay. By August of 2006, it was reported that the game was 80% complete and would be ready for an early 2007 release. At E3 2006, Atari had announced that they had acquired the rights for Earthworm Jim and were planning to port the game to the PlayStation Portable. Earthworm Jim: Menace 2 the Galaxy was released on the Nintendo Game Boy and the Game Boy Color on November 16, 1999.
