Good news for you AVGN fans out there – the Angry Video Game Nerd is getting his own genuine, honest-to-fuck Nintendo Entertainment System gamepak that isn’t a glorified ROM Hack or anything like that, but a brand-fucking-new game!
Even better news – there’s even a genuine NES cart that’s being put out if you want to play it on your actual NES (though it’ll also be available for modern platforms as well via digital release.)
The bad news – the NES version is sold through Limited Run… so you can pre-order your NES version, wait two years before it finally ships, and by the time you get it, you’ll have forgotten all about it until you open up the package and go “Oh yeah, I forgot. I bought this.”
Speaking of things we forgot, what’s the news on that new SNES version of DooM that was announced months ago? We haven’t heard so much as a arch-vile’s limp dick’s worth of updates since that time. When is that going up for pre-order?
If these chuckleheads are supposed to be the paragons of physical media going forward, then I’d rather embrace DRM-laced digital rentals for the future.
