Ah, Nintendo. The most darling of gaming companies to most any gamer, especially one born between about 1980 and 1995. Nintendo brought gaming back in the United States after the video game crash, and it never really went away. While I’ve, rather hilariously, had people in the past at places I’ve worked seem surprised to […]
In another much-loved episode, the Nerd does battle with the nightmare that is Silver Surfer on NES.
Since I’m planning to eventually review every single episode of the series (probably a never ending task, as I think about it) I’ve been avoiding covering AVGN episodes on release – as nice as it would be to hit them while they are hot, I feel like I might wind up, down the line, running […]
So, in more gaming news over the past few days, Microsoft announced that they were ending sales of the Kinect accessory and, I can only presume, no more game software will be released that supports, or at least none that will absolutely require, the device. I’d say, about time. While the Kinect in principle isn’t […]
Looks like Microsoft released this list a little later than they normally would, but that’s okay. Here we have the next set of Games with Gold for November, 2017, and honestly, even I’ll admit, this is a pretty pathetic list. Let’s begin: On the Xbox one we have Trackmania Turbo and Tales from the Borderlands. […]
The Nerd takes a look at another Sega Genesis add-on, the 32X.
More gaming news regarding things ending, Lego Dimensions – the youngest of the main 3 “Toy to Life” video games – is no longer going to have any new figure or level releases. This comes after the game being on the market for just over 2 years of what is reported to be a 3 […]
The online shop on the Nintendo Wii is being shut down in an oddly long phase out over 2018 and 2019. For those who don’t know, or have forgotten, the Nintendo Wii shop was a feature of the console where you could buy additional software (Wiiware, as it was known) for the console, as well […]
Reports are popping up left and right on game journalism sites about a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game coming soon – those reports are true because, as some articles hinted at, there is actually a test location machine out in the wild! In this case, by sheer coincidence a social media connection I […]
In this Angry Video Game Nerd video, the Nerd takes a look at the Sega-CD console, an add-on for the Sega Genesis which, as the name suggests, used Compact Disc media for game storage.
Spoiler — it isn’t very good.
As the title suggest, I’ve had the SNES Classic Edition for about 2 weeks. That’s been enough time, along with my work schedule and Xadara stuff, to manage to complete everything on Super Mario World and to play all the way through Earthbound. Sure, I’ve touched on a few things – unlocked Star Fox 2 […]
Thanks to some connections (and the fact that I actually wanted one at launch) I was able to get one of the highly sought after SNES Classic Edition consoles – a small stand alone plug-and-play style console which contains 21 built in games from the 16-bit Super Nintendo, a top tier gaming console back in […]
If this entry seems short, forgive me – I had an entire standard GwG article typed, and WordPress decided it would be good to just completely fail at the exact moment I saved the draft post. Anyway, here we go with October’s Games with Gold lineup. As is typical, nothing too much in the way […]
Time to look at various Spider-Man games! This time the Nerd is joined by the man himself. That, sadly, doesn’t make the games any more enjoyable.
News coming in from up north, apparently the SNES Classic Edition will be sold in Quebec after all. Toys R Us Canada and EB Games Canada twitter accounts made mention of this a few days ago, which is good news for everyone in Quebec who wanted to get the console locally. The bad news? Doesn’t […]
