We really hope this happens, as it remains one of the true retro gems in our opinion and a game that first showed how fun co-op can be. Not only was the game one of the Megadrive’s best, but it also has arguably the most funkiest video game soundtrack known in history – we challenge you to find one game which has funkier music than ToeJam & Earl.

Unfortunately, Sega hasn’t confirmed this as a fact yet, but Siliconera seem to be confident that the game is coming along with ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, as part of a new Sega Vintage collection on the PS3. We’re a bit disappointed that this is just a re-release rather than a full remake, as we think a proper HD remake would be an excellent addition on console.

It would also give a history lesson to the current generation of gamers who play nothing but Call of Duty every day. ToeJam & Earl belongs in the same leagues as Sonic, Mario and Zelda in our opinion and we hope that Sega are now planning to embrace it. I fondly remember the countless hours of playing with my pal Tim, flying down to a secret Lemonade island in the corner of the map. I also remember how annoying those boogeymen were and I’m pretty sure we never completed it, due to a no nonsense difficulty curve.

I even still have the original Megadrive cartridge as well, as you can see in the image above. If you played ToeJam & Earl too in the Megadrive glory days, let us know your thoughts on the idea of the game re-releasing on the PS3. Will you be buying it?
