Article Summary

  • Angry Video Game Nerd gets a new 8-bit platformer title for NES, crafted by Retroware and Mega Cat Studios.
  • The game, Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit, is inspired by classic side-scrollers like Mega Man.
  • Physical NES cartridge release handled by Limited Run Games; digital version available on Steam.
  • Battle through pixel art levels fighting familiar faces and bosses in the AVGN universe!

Indie game developer Retroware and Mega Cat Studios revealed their latest platformer on the way, as The Angry Video Game Nerd will be getting a new game to his name. The new title is called The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit, and as the name suggests, this is a throwback to the Atari and NES days of gaming, with levels and references to the era. As far as we can tell, it doesn't link to the previous two games, so it sounds like this will be its own story with references to the YouTube series. The game will be made available digitally on Steam and all three major consoles, but it is meant to be played on an NES, which will be taken care of by Limited Run Games, who are making a physical version with a cartridge. No date has been set for its release, but you can see more in the trailer above.
