Limited Run Games has officially unveiled its next retro offering for Nintendo Switch: Jaws: Retro Edition.
This announcement revives the classic 1987 NES adaptation of the iconic film franchise, bringing it to new and old fans alike with modern upgrades and a physical release package.
Although a specific launch date has not been disclosed, Limited Run Games has confirmed that pre-orders for both standard and special editions will begin on December 19, 2025, exclusively through their official storefront. Jaws: Retro Edition marks the latest addition to Limited Run Games’ growing library of reissued classics, following their successful track record of delivering nostalgic experiences to contemporary platforms like the Nintendo Switch.
This new release is particularly notable for offering more than just a straightforward port: alongside the faithfully recreated NES original, a brand new "Jaws: Enhanced Version" will be included, dramatically expanding the gameplay experience. The Enhanced Version transforms the familiar undersea adventure into a multi-chapter journey, featuring references and homages to all four entries in the Jaws film series.
Players can look forward to new quests and objectives, expanded abilities and weapons for both boat and diver, and a roster of tougher enemies with fresh strategies to overcome.
The Enhanced Version also broadens the game’s role-playing elements, paying tribute to the RPG inspirations present in the NES game while introducing contemporary mechanics for modern gamers. Key features in Jaws: Retro Edition include quality-of-life improvements for the classic mode such as the ability to save anywhere, rewind gameplay, a set of achievements and trophies, plus a music player and gallery.
These additions ensure that both returning fans and newcomers on Nintendo Switch can enjoy the adventure with increased accessibility and replay value. A highlight of the upcoming release is the physical special edition, which will offer collectors more than just the game.
The package includes a soundtrack CD, a pixel art lamp, an enamel pin, and a themed keychain, making it an attractive proposition for fans of classic gaming memorabilia. Speaking on the project, Limited Run Games emphasized their ongoing commitment to preserving video game history and delivering enhanced experiences to the Nintendo Switch community.
By bringing back a cult favorite from the NES era and introducing significant new content, the company continues to solidify its reputation as a leader in retro game curation. Pre-orders for Jaws: Retro Edition open December 19, 2025, with further updates and releases to be announced by Limited Run Games.
