The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit is a retro-style game based on the hit YouTube series. Players will take on the role of James Rolfe as he battles his way through a series of levels inspired by the NES games he has reviewed on his show. The game is set to launch sometime in 2025 for the NES, modern consoles, and the PC.

Angry Video Game Nerd is a retro game review and comedy series created by James Rolfe. The show centers on Rolfe’s character, a short-tempered gamer, who reviews retro video games and humorously criticizes their poor quality. It was a pioneer in online media and an inspiration for other entertainers.

The series has also been adapted into a video game with the last title released in 2016 and a remaster in 2020.
