Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit – Release Date Trailer 

The Angry Video Game Nerd James Rolfe said the following:

“Playing AVGN 8-Bit feels like you’re entering my subconscious mind as the Nerd, encountering all the enemies and stages that I’ve reviewed on the show.

It’s an amalgamation of all your NES dreams and nightmares. 

From Retroware, teaming up with Mega Cat Studios and Programancer, this is sure to bring back all those retro memories of gripping the controller, screaming and fist pumping.”

James Rolfe continued:

“As a child playing NES, I never would have imagined one day I would be in an actual NES game.

Retroware teamed up with Mega Cat Studios and Programancer to trap me inside of a cartridge, as the Nerd, plowing through several maddening stages inspired by the games I’ve reviewed on the show. 

They bring you the full Nerd experience into your own hands, as you grip the controller with insanity, reliving every crazy 8-Bit battle from your dreams.”
