Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures finally came to Wii U earlier this month after a considerably long wait. The 3DS version hasn’t launched yet, but that should be changing soon.

FreakZone’s Sam Beddoes has confirmed that Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is finished and is currently going through the approval process.

He said:

The 3DS version has stereoscopic 3D, as well as some dual screen features, similar to the GamePad features on the Wii U. It’s all done and going through Nintendo’s approval process.
