Physical media isn’t dead yet. Botiques keeping things going!
Blow on them, pop them in, own them forever
PHILADELPHIA — October 22. 2026 — As physical games come under attack in our current digital-only dystopia, two new modern-retro classics are ready to make their way to your shelf. Philly-area publisher and developer Retroware is excited to announce that physical editions of Prison City and The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit NES Edition are available now in the official Retroware online store.
After serving a lengthy stint on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo Switch eShop, Prison City has officially broken out of its digital penitentiary with physical editions for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, each priced at $39.99. Both versions feature the full game with all of its post-launch content on the cart or disc, including new game modes, remixed stages, and more, plus a reversible cover and 3 Crazy Caps.
Meanwhile, The Nerd takes it back to the past with the NES edition of The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit. Developed by Pittsburgh-based Mega Cat Studios, The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit is available as an actual NES cartridge in two colors: Standard Edition NES Gray ($69.99) and Limited Edition NERD RAGE Red ($79.99), perfect for lining the walls of your own personal Nerd Room. Each cartridge includes an instruction manual featuring art by AVGN’s Mike Matei.
About The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit:
An all-new action platformer set in the AVGN universe, The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit unleashes the ULTIMATE NERD RAGE across a host of pixel art levels crawling with zombies, mechanical skeletons, ghoulish reapers, and more. Slide below platforms, grab power-ups, and take alternate routes to the boss room, where familiar faces from The Nerd’s past are waiting to finish him off once and for all.
About Prison City: Developed by Programancer (The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest), Prison City is an action-packed side scroller where players use chakrams and grenades to infiltrate eight security zones, defeat challenging bosses, and discover hidden upgrades. Equipped with a host of customization options, a “Boss Rush”, “Bomb Mode”, and a retro-themed soundtrack by Raddland Studios, Prison City is a modern retro homage to classic NES titles like Shatterhand and Power Blade.

(The following was written from memory three days hence and edited over the week to include photos and video.)
DAY ONE
Arrived at the convention by 9:20, went upstairs to press room to get acclimated before heading to the show floor. First stops were the book booths to catch any signing tickets possibly needed for later in the day. From there an exploration of the show floor was made. Major stops were Civil Regime, Walmart, Elegoo 3D Printers, DC Comics, etc. Made way to the other end of the show floor, entered the queue for the Camp Crystal Lake immersive experience (would not get in that, received word funnily later that night shortly after the Crystal Lake panel). Checked out the All Nippon Air booth, then made a visit to Epic Desk (I am currently testing out the new pad they gifted me to review and I can tell you right now, it’s getting high marks).
Checked out a few other booths like Whatnot, Monogram, Culturefly, etc. but then went down to Artist’s Alley to say hello to my long time friend Rick Parker on my way to a panel featuring Ivan Velez Jr. discussing Tales of the Closet. I was a little late to the panel getting turned around understanding Javits layout, despite been going there for years. A little more exploration including the community room where I picked up a lot of the NYC Board of Education comics I’d missed since the last time I came to NYCC. Was excited to see Nick Bertozzi had a new one. Also went to the show floor for books I had signing tickets for and exploring.
At this point it was time for the Marvel Television & Animation panel which had some excellent clips from X-Men ’97 season 3, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2, footage from Daredevil Born Again season 3 and then the entire first episode of Visionquest. Seeing that on a huge screen was pretty dang cool. I have no since seen episode 2 as it has launched. After the Marvel panel was the Crystal Lake panel I mentioned earlier where they showed the first episode and had a lovely cool talk exciting me to binge the entire series which by the time you’ve read this I will have. After I decided to check out the Coney Island 18+ show but instead of being sexy freak show it was just burlesque. I stayed for a bit but then decided I would TRY to go to some events I knew at bars. I didn’t realize their distance from the convention center though, got turned around and ended up at 8th avenue starving, so I stopped at Tick-Tock diner for foods before heading home to unpack, wash up and crash for another day of excitement and fun.
DAY TWO
I hopped on the Virtual queue for the Crystal Lake experience and got 70th in line. I killed time on the floor checking out the Tenacious Toys booth, a few other small press booths, saying hello to my neighbor Kyle Baker at his table, doing the Marvel booth experience and somehow losing the stool I had bought for the weekend (not a big loss, things happen).
After the Crystal Lake thing which was pretty dang fun I had a little more exploring but then had to get over to the Bloodaxe panel followed by press room.
Then back to the floor for signings, fun and such before the Titmouse x Meow Wolf panel which was amazing. Got to talk to Kate Miccucci, the Creator director at Meow Wolf and got a free skate deck (plus stickers and a pin).
My evening finalized at Scholastic offices for a presentation and party with great food, great conversations and great gifts. They do things right. Carying too much and it being past 10 PM I took a ride share home from the city getting in around 10:30 PM.
DAY THREE
I had an 11 AM meeting at FANHOME, so before that I hit up some signings and give aways. After the excelleny hobbyist kit building booth I went to see my friend Frankie for a moment for a long long afternoon away from the convention center, but not away from the convention itself.
First up was GAK To The Future, a street art and gallery show at the Hudson Yards Hotel on 42nd street. Some really excellent pieces. If you pay attention to stickers and graffiti in the boros you have seen WIGS, KEST, COMA, etc. etc.
From there I used the hughline to get down to 14th street for the Blade Runner 2099 immersive experience. This involved some actors, a free drink, great set design and a give away. It was fun and while both it and the panel later that night really hid the story, I’ll be checking the series out.
From there it was the Visionquest art show on 24th street which I used the highline again to get over to. They had some really awesome pieces on display and there was also some immersion and the gallery became larger as hidden doors opened.
After it was back to the convention but all that walking meant taking a short break on a park bench and eating some food and then relaxing. I had been barely sleeping the last three days including the day before convention and with everything I was carrying, all the social interaction, etc. my body was feeling it.
Once a second wind came in I headed back to the convention, killed some time with what I can exploring booths and more before the mentioned Blade Runner panel.
After I made my way back to the GAK show to see if any friends were there, but so such luck. I probably could have waited longer but I was feeling it and getting home as I planned to take the subway this time was an ordeal. I took the train out to main street and grabbed an amazing meal in Flushing while getting home in time to catch GCW Fight Club Night One War games before washing up and crashing out.
DAY FOUR
My main thing for this day was a panel and signing with Graham Anabele and Scott C. of video game, animation, comics and picture book fame. Graham’s wife Malena is also currenly back at Double Fine for the foreseeable future. The panel and signing were both fantastic.
The rest of my day was trying to see as much of the convention I had missed,buying some stuff at major discounts, saying hello to friends and goodbye as well since I only see some of them during conventions cause of distance and time.
It rained absolute buckets on this day. Getting home was hell. I ended up stepping in a puddle, some books got water damage that I worked hard on saving them from when finally back home.
This convention experience was amazing and I have loved reliving and will continue to do so watching videos, reading the books I got and playing with all the stuff I got.
CALIFORNIA – Oct. 15, 2026 – UvsU: You vs You, the dark claymation puzzle platformer, where you play against your past self, launches on PC via Steam on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2027, as revealed during IGN Fan Fest. The demo is available now on Steam, with over 350 reviews and a 98% “Very Positive” rating!
In UvsU: You vs You, you play against recordings of your past self in time-loop mind-melting puzzles. Each puzzle consists of multiple loops, where you will switch roles between angel and devil, which have alternating, seemingly conflicting goals. The angel must reach the end and the devil must kill the angel. The twist is that every loop is recorded, and the other characters are all performing your own past actions. The puzzle is only solved when all the characters have met the goal of their loop.
Beyond the puzzle chambers, UvsU: You vs You emphasizes non-linear exploration, environmental discovery, and knowledge-based progression. Inspired by classics like Braid, The Neverhood, Animal Well, and Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, the game blends tactile aesthetics with mind-bending logic. The narrative is entirely textless, delivered through handmade stop-motion style cutscenes.
UvsU: You vs You launches on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2027 on PC via Steam. The game will include language support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified).
There is SO much happening at NYCC 2026. To share it all would be nigh impossible. Here’s just some stuff that you may not know about unless you agressively check instagram, reddit, and search engines.
“For fans of good horror comics, there’s no better place to turn than the IDW Dark imprint.” – Jesse Schedeen, IGN Entertainment
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 5, 2026) – New York Comic Con week has arrived! IDW Publishing will be at the show with can’t-miss signings and exclusives at booth #4551, plus a panel that’ll have the entire industry talking (Friday morning, 11:15am in room 406.2). To celebrate the big show, IDW has at least one major announcement planned for every single weekday. While we can’t spoil any secrets (yet), we can tease there will be big news for fans of STAR TREK, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, horror, and a major reveal we cannot wait to declassify during the panel.
To kick off the week-long celebration, IDW’s infecting its entire publishing line with the ambitious initiative IDW GOES DARK. The best-selling horror print is taking over with a truly sinister selection of new horror comics throughout all of 2027, featuring HELLO KITTY, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, GODZILLA, STAR TREK, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, and new original nightmares from the imprint.
The terrifying takeover with IDW Goes Dark will also feature A QUIET PLACE: RISING TIDES, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, ANY GIVEN SMILE, EVENT HORIZON: PANDEMONIUM, as well as the upcoming already-announced originals FATAL FEST and BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: THE SUMMER AND THE FALL. Fans at NYCC, don’t miss the exclusive ashcans for FATAL FEST #1 and YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE #1 at the IDW booth before they sell out.
“One of my earliest memories is the day I accidentally watched Stephen King’s It when I was nearly 5 years old,” said Heather Antos, Senior Group Editor and lead on the IDW Dark imprint. “One of my first jobs was working in my local haunted house as a teenager. And one of the first comics I ever fell in love with was Hellblazer. We’ve been blown away by the way fans have embraced IDW’s horror books, and this is our opportunity to give them even more of what they love while pushing these characters and worlds into places they’ve never gone before. We’re bringing together incredible creators, iconic licenses, bold new ideas, and the absolute best damn comics we can make– and I cannot wait to see just how dark we can go.”
More details lurk in the shadows for now, but we can tease there will be a spine-tingling surprise for horror fans at the IDW panel this Friday…
Posted inComics, New York Comic Con|Comments Off on HORROR TAKES OVER WITH ‘IDW GOES DARK’ IN 2027
AT 2026 NEW YORK COMIC-CON, WITH SPOTLIGHT ON THE EXORCIST,RIVER, AND
CURRY BARKER’S NEXT FILMANYTHING BUT GHOSTS
Los Angeles, Calif. – Oct. 5, 2026 – Blumhouse Atomic Monster, the home of horror, today announced plans for its annual BlumFest New York Comic-Con session, taking place this Friday, Oct. 9 at the Javits Center in New York City.
Hosting this year’s BlumFest live from the Javits Center is MatPat, the Game Theorists creator whose early deep dives into Five Nights at Freddy’s and the Backrooms helped bring both worlds to the mainstream and made him one of the internet’s leading voices on story and lore. He will welcome a lineup of special guests including Director Mike Flanagan and Star Chiwetel Ejiofor from The Exorcist, Star Jessica Rothe from Josh Giuliano’s River, Multimedia Storyteller Heidi Wong, Director and Atomic Monster Founder James Wan, and Blumhouse CEO and Founder Jason Blum. In addition, the session will feature First Looks, announcements, surprises and giveaways galore.
BlumFest kicks off at 6:00 PM ET on the Empire Stage at the Javits Center in New York City. The session opens at 5:30PM, and fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure a seat. For more information, check out New York Comic-Con’s website.
NYCC 2026 is going to be here before we know it. My schedule isn’t finalized. It’ll probably change on the fly even. That’s still 4 days away though.
Between the last Nerd Notes and now we have had some seriously tragic passings as well as cult legends. The wrestling industry lost Benjamin “PAC” Slattery, Canada’s Eddie Osbourne, and msot recently NY/NJ indie “legend” Metal Maniac. Painting Legend Peter Max, actor Gerrit Graham (most famous to me as BEEF in Phantom of the Paradise), Duncan Sheik, Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory, actor Dennis Haskins, were personal stand outs,but many more occured in various facets of pop-culture and I am sure more will come.
This week I prepared for Comic Con in my own way with two big days. On eday I went to the Javits Center for a very small show of the White Label Expo. I did networking and tried to get my name out there for marketing expansion beyond. From Javits I walked around Hudson Yards, then down the High Line to Chelsea Market, taking my time along the way doing shopping and taking photos. On Friday I hit up three super exciting pop-ups that were immersive marketing experiences with activities and giveaways. Very comic con like. The first was Newport Beach Club which took place in four different locations set up as if you were doing a day in Newport Beach California. At location 1 you got a photo, a drink, and stickers, location 2 had a beach and taffy, at location 3 there was food and some cool visions and the final location had a ball pit and bath salts. After that was the Angry Orchard x Scream 30th Anniversary which was set up like a video store, they gave full cans of Angry Orchard (unfortunately they had to be drunk there), special flavored popcorn, a photobooth with Ghostface and you randomly got one of various giveaways. The final stop was Tidy Cats – Special Litter Unit, at this activation you got training to be an agent in SLU via identification, getting a portrait of your pet, meeting cats up for adoption and trying to climb through a yarn maze. Kumal Nanjiani greeted you via video at the door. At the end you recveived a mug or a tie and collar for your pet and coupon for litter. These 3 pop ups along with also stopping for food, seeing some live mural painting and visiting the graffiti alley made for the kind of day that has me super excited for next week.
AND NOW the Nerd Notes, first up Movie and TV Trailers.
NYCC will have this show with a major show floor presence and a Empire stage panel. The entire thing drops on Peacock on October 15th.
Before we have a chance to really start missing Gamechanger, the new season Make Some Noise begins tomorrow.
This is just part 1. A greateaser to make you want to watch the show. Also it’s Malina Weissman! (who really isn’t a teen anymore but whatever)
A LITTLE SOMETHING ELSE
You may or may not know that I’m a MEOW WOLF fanatic even with only getting to go to two of the soon to be six and then quickly seven locations as well as a cartoon and a TTRPG (which I was on the Kickstarter for). Here’s some footage of location six.
Here’s a brand new Pixar short!
And I learned of this video from The Endless Adventure vlog about Virgin Voyages. This cartoon is awesome even if yoi never end up on a cruise ship.
AND NOW MUSIC! an ecelctic selection of new stuff.
Video directed by Owen Kline.
Excellent puppet fabrication and animation.
The three videos edited together into one. Tree Forever.
