Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Looks Set For Wii U on 2nd April
Posted by Thomas Whitehead
Was originally due back in the past
It's been quite a wait for Nintendo fans of the YouTube trailblazer AVGN, with Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures arriving on PC in 2014 and pegged as being due "very soon" last July. Set for Wii U and 3DS, it will at least apparently utilise the second screen options on both systems.
The Wii U version seems to finally be on the horizon, with the official game page on Nintendo of America's website listing it for 2nd April at a price of $9.99. These listings are occasionally inaccurate, but hopefully publisher ScrewAttack Games will clarify soon; we're also curious to see if the 3DS version is due to arrive at the same time.
As for the kind of game developer FreakZone Games has produced, it's a typically fiendish retro action-platformer with plenty of references to classic games and the YouTube series. It'll also, presumably, be one of relatively few 'mature' download-only titles on the eShop.
Are you still excited about this one on Wii U and 3DS? Let us know.

Anyway, I've only heard mediocre reviews for this. Is it really that bad?

I have been waiting for this for quite some time now. I will wait your review, but I think I will pick it up.

@Inkling Not really, it's extremely difficult (almost to the point of feeling cheap), but it's pretty good mechanically (final boss is disappointing though).

I got it on Steam when it was on sale but I haven't even installed it yet. I've played it once on my brother's PC though. Having it on console makes it more likely for me to play it but I think I'll be waiting for a sale anyways.

Nice! Never got a chance to play this until now, but I'm definitely interested ever since seeing the Nerd himself play it.

Hm. Considering the content the AVGN puts out...this might be a very mixed bag. On one hand it could be pure comedy bliss, and a fair challenge referencing past games.
On the other, more likely hand, it could be potentially offensive, possibly grating with the comedy, and may be full of awful game design, since the AVGN is based known for games that have off design or poor handling, and that might be what they are referencing.
Plus it's a licensed game, by all rights...so, no offense to the AVGN or his fans, this is one I have low expectations for.
