Earthworm Jim developer Dave Perry has today revealed he would like to return to the classic series as soon as other projects have been completed.

In a NowGamer interview, Perry revealed he will be looking at getting back into game development once his on demand game streaming service Gaikai launches.

When asked if a new Earthworm Jim title would be a possibility, Perry explained, "Well it’s actually something that…just so you know, the team has remained good friends and I actually brought them together again and reformed the Earthworm Jim team to make a new game that was to be funded by Atari. We literally had meetings and started discussing what the game was going to be, but then Atari took a nosedive and the whole project got put on ice.

The developer continued, "It was a shame because we had managed to achieve the goal of getting those core people back together. What I’m saying is they were willing to do it then, I think they would still be willing to do it at some point in the future."

Sounds groovy. Perry is currently gearing up to launch cloud-gaming service Gaikai, which lets people play games like World of Warcraft on an iPad, or amazingly, Facebook.
