Coming by way of Limited Run Games, the NES game Jaws is set to release this week on February 13th for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. This gaming adaptation, which is based on the Jaws film franchise, was actually pretty popular on the NES and received some positive reviews at the time. Rather than simply trying to (poorly) adapt the Jaws movies into a video game, developer Atlus attempted to incorporate a handful of early RPG elements into the game to make it stand out. Now, it’s returning in the form of Jaws: Retro Edition in mere days.
New Upgrades to This NES Game
As expected, this new version of Jaws will come with a variety of improvements that Limited Run Games has baked into the experience. The ability to save anywhere and rewind the game at any point will be available, as will be a music player and gallery that players will be able to access. New quests, abilities, and a “deeper realization” of the RPG aspects of Jaws will also be present in this release. It’s not fully known how these changes will end up impacting the final product, but those who are intimately familiar with Jaws already should find enough here that makes that game feel entirely new.
