If you're a fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd series then you'll be pleased to know that the interactive spin-off — Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures — is coming to both the Wii U and 3DS "very soon".
Developer FreakZone Games revealed the news at SGC 2014 alongside publisher ScrewAttack and then shared the announcement with a wider audience via the medium of social media:
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is a 2D platformer which playfully pokes fun at retro games and is currently available on Steam. It features quite a bit of crude humour and bad language, so it will be interesting to see if Nintendo allows it to hit its consoles with such elements intact. FreakZone confirmed that it would be coming to Nintendo systems over a year ago.
In addition to hitting North America, the developer has also confirmed that the title will be coming to Europe in the future, too:
Have you already played Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures on PC? If so, what did you think? Will you be picking up the title when it hits Nintendo formats?

This is good news. Now obviously the nerd's gonna play this on Wii U for sure!
This is great to hear. I have the game on Steam, but never really had the urge to play it much. Having it on Wii U or 3DS, two things I use more often than Steam, might get me to play it more. It's a quality title with difficulty to match it's retro appearance. Any fans of the AVGN episodes should get a kick out of it especially since it features numerous references to said episodes.
Awesome! It's a little weird it took this long to come to a Nintendo console.
might pick it up, but the las reviews I saw were a bit negative about this because the game seems to use cheap deaths to hinder your progress, but I don't know if this is good or bad with this game ^^"
That's awesome! Love this guy's videos!
Hopefully the European release won't take a year.
Don't really get why these articles always question their appearance Nintendo is fine with Mature games
@Josaku look at the reviews for it on metacritic. they were generally positive. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/angry-video-game-nerd-adventures
I have nothing against the game but I will not get it as I lost interest in James's AVGN character years ago. Seeing this makes me mad at Nintendo for not allowing Binding of Isaac on the 3DS.
@SilentHunter382 If they didn't wanted Binding of Isaac on 3DS, maybe it was that the game contained references to religion so Nintendo is strict about that. But this game here, it would not contain references to religion but with bad language. Bayonetta 2 was another game that Nintendo approved.
So you might be careful with the Binding of Issac getting approved by Nintendo.
YES! OH YES! I've been waiting for this to arrive on Wii U since its release. I can't wait to play it. I haven't played on PC yet because all I've got is a laptop that, while capable of playing the game hardware-wise, I can't play any game on here for longer than 10 or so minutes without it overheating and crashing on me.
Nice!
Im totally buying this! I hope it has cross buy.
They should make it mimic a Virtual Console game on the System menu, with a floating cart and such.
It's a friggin shark on fire with a friggin angry video game nerd armed with a friggin zapper on it's friggin head. I'm sold.
I've been waiting for this to play on Nintendo platform.
I'm going to get it for the 3DS, mainly so my parents won't see me playing it.
Iv ben waiting on this one for a while.I kinda forgot about it its ben so long.But glad they said something about it finaly.
i hope they tone down the difficulty a little bit
Don't know whether to get this on Wii U or 3DS.
To be honest, I hope we get more info on the AVGN Movie soon.
Sweet.
With games like this I think they should be on basically every single console platform if possible.
Looking forward to the movie too when that finally comes out...
Edit: Turns out it's not too far off: http://cinemassacre.com/2014/07/12/angry-video-game-nerd-the-movie-official-trailer-2-hd/
I'd rather play this than have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear.
I'll wait for a price drop on Steam to hopefully under £5, £6.99 seems a little too much for me and I have £5 Steam credit. Or else the Wii U or 3DS version if they're cheaper (which I highly doubt).
I am a huge AVGN fan, but not really sure if I'd get it. Perhaps if the price is right...
Hold it! That guy just flipped me the finger. Now I'm going to feel bad all day.
That's gotta be the weirdest idea for a game ever...
@Kirk Digital release September 2nd?! WOOHOO!
Might just wait for the DVD/Blu-ray though.
Prawwwwbly gonna get this for both.
@SilentHunter382 Isaac still has a shot at 3DS. They're still trying.

OH MY GOD! YES!!!! I love the AVGN franchise, I actually saw all the episodes and am still currently watching the James and Mike on Mondays episodes too! I think James and co has done something so amazing, and for that I'll be definitely getting this game! SOOOOO can't wait!
Damn, can't wait to play this.
and the movie coming out too! awesome
Will be getting this on 3DS. I try to support James as much as I can he is such a talented guy.
Sweet!
"We're gonna take you back to the past,
To play those ****ty games that suck ***,"
Might get it on 3DS.
Hell yes! Long live the Nerd!
Might it for 3DS and if the game is fun then will think of getting it on Wii U.
I played the PC version and it is a good (though short) shooting game.
I"m so hype. I tend to ignore a lot of reviews. After all, the reviews for ZombiU were pretty meh, and I LOVE that game.
