A well-loved game from the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), first released in 1987, is making a comeback this week on modern platforms. 1987 was a huge year for the NES, seeing the release of iconic games like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Mega Man, and Castlevania – titles that launched incredibly successful franchises still popular today. The game being re-released this week didn’t create a massive franchise of its own, but it’s connected to a well-known brand.
This week, on February 13th, the classic NES game Jaws is coming to PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC thanks to Limited Run Games. Originally popular and well-received on the NES, this game is based on the famous Jaws movies, but instead of a straightforward adaptation, the developers at Atlus cleverly added some early role-playing game features. Now, fans can enjoy Jaws: Retro Edition very soon!
Get ready to relive a classic! The JAWS video game is making a comeback with a digital release and a special Enhanced Edition for PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. You can dive in on February 13th!

New Upgrades to This NES Game
This updated version of Jaws includes several enhancements from Limited Run Games. Players will be able to save and rewind the game at any time, and there’s also a music player and a gallery to explore. The release features new quests, abilities, and expands on the game’s RPG elements, making it feel fresh and new, especially for longtime fans. It’s currently unclear exactly how these changes will affect the overall experience.
As a big fan, I’m really excited to see Jaws making a comeback in 2026! It feels like the franchise has been quiet for so long, so it’s awesome that someone’s doing something new with it. I’m not sure if this release will lead to more Jaws games, but if you’re craving a shark-focused gaming experience in the meantime, Maneater is still a great option.
