There’s already been one adventure based on YouTuber Angry Video Game Nerd, but given his catalogue of content, we suppose an 8-Bit outing makes sense. This release will actually be available physically on an NES cartridge courtesy of Limited Run, but if you can’t be arsed with original hardware, then the PS5 and PS4 versions should suffice.
The trailer mentions that interspersed throughout the action, you’ll find various FMV cutscenes hosted by AVGN host James Rolfe which will make you feel like you’re playing an episode of the show.
Here’s what the blurb says:
“Journey through multiple levels inspired by the Angry Video Game Nerd universe, and blast away at enemies themed around each level! Slide below platforms, pick up power-ups, and take alternate routes to get to the boss room!”
The game’s due out on 23rd October.
One thing worth mentioning here is that the game has been developed by Mega Cat Studios, the same team rumoured to be working on God of War’s unannounced Metroidvania adaptation.
