Die besten Retro-Spiele für Nintendo Switch – Die besten Retro-Spiele für Nintendo Switch
Ah nostalgia – it’s a tricksy thing. How many times have we gone back to revisit a treasured classic only to find that modern games have spoiled it for us? For all the brilliant aspects of retro games, the mod cons and performance we’re used to now are pretty fantastic, zu, and sometimes going back can be tough. Was this slowdown always here? I don’t remember it looking this fuzzy. You mean I have to start again… am Anfang?!
Glücklicherweise, alongside all the remasters, repackages and retro compilations which sand the rough edges off gaming classics and polish them up for the busy 21st century gamer, there’s a huge number of modern releases paying tribute to retro games. Taking a core mechanic or two from the past, these homages take advantage of decades’ worth of tech advancements and knowledge to recreate classic gameplay with a modern twist.
Below you’ll find some of our favourite neo-nostalgia trips available on Switch. They’re not in any particular order and most of the games on this list have multiple muses, so the noted inspirations may be the only tip of the iceberg.
Natürlich, Switch’s list of retro-inspired pixel-graphic games is as long as your arm, and there are plenty more we could mention than you’ll find below, but the titles here are our absolute favourites – games which give us the feels we remember experiencing when we first played the 8- and 16-bit classics they were inspired by.
So, let’s take a look at our very favourite modern games with an undeniably retro vibe…

Inspiriert von: Zelda II: Das Abenteuer von Link, DuckTales, Mega Man, Castlevania, the list goes on…
With a list of influences as long as your arm (which developer Yacht Club itself acknowledges in comic fashion), Shovel Knight was excellent in vanilla form, aber Fundgrube includes absolutely everything that developer Yacht Club has created for the game since its Kickstarter success back in 2013. That includes the extra campaigns Plague of Shadows, Specter of Torment und King of Cards, plus multiplayer brawler Showdown which further increases the attractiveness of an already incredibly compelling package. These games are fantastic odes to the glory days of 8-bit(+) platforming, and having the complete Shovel Knight experience in one spot makes this a must-have for Switch owners – especially those that have never dug into this game and its add-ons. Strike the earth!

Inspiriert von: Straßen der Wut, R-Typ, Auslaufen, Shinobi, Kill-Bildschirm, the ’80s
A passionate love letter to a bygone age, 198X celebrates 2D, arcade-based gaming brilliantly and wraps it up in some of the best hand-drawn art we’ve seen in years. The soundtrack is also exceptional, und, in terms of pure presentation, it’s really hard to fault what’s on offer here. 198X’s biggest weakness is its brevity; you can finish it in around an hour, but the experience will remain with you for long after the credits have rolled. While we’re sure many people will consider the game’s shortness a cardinal sin, we’d still recommend you give it a try if you’re a fan of ’80s and ’90s gaming, appreciate lush 2D artwork and desire an experience which firmly lodges itself in your consciousness – even if it doesn’t last all that long.

Inspiriert von: the 8-bit Castlevania Pokemon Glückliche Zeiten
blutbefleckt: Curse Of The Moon is undoubtedly aimed at a very specific audience, but if that audience is you then you’re in luck. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night nuts may want the full-fat blutbefleckt: Ritual der Nacht (and the Switch version appears to be slowly but surely patching its way closer to the experience players on other platforms enjoy), but if the 8-bit Castlevanias get you more excited than the more expansive latter style, this is as perfect a callback as you could wish for.
And if that doesn’t sate your hunger, the also-very-good sequel goes by the name of blutbefleckt: Curse of the Moon 2. Komisch, dass.

Inspiriert von: Höchster Gang, Auslaufen
Out Run might be the most obvious comparison here, but Horizon Chase Turbo actually feels much more like a modern interpretation of the Top Gear games from the SNES days. It’s silky-smooth old-school arcade racing with blue skies, colourful cars and retro-polygonal visuals that leave you in no doubt as to how you should be driving (Eine andere Möglichkeit, Aloys Fähigkeiten zu verbessern, ist der Fähigkeitsbaum, and with the top down).

Inspiriert von: … wirklich?!
Mega Man 11 ist ein hervorragendes Wiederaufleben des Blue Bomber, Durchdringen des bewährten klassischen Gameplays mit modernen Akzenten und neuen Ideen, die bestehende Konzepte auf interessante Weise erweitern. The underlying action platforming gameplay is just as tight and challenging as you remember, und in Kombination mit der neuen Grafik und zusätzlichen Optionen für den Wiederspielwert, Sie haben ein Spiel, das den Vorgängern in nichts nachsteht, während sie sie in mancher Hinsicht übertreffen. Mega Man 11 ist ein moderner Klassiker, eine passende Auffrischung für eine beliebte Serie, Wir empfehlen Ihnen dringend, dieses Spiel zu Ihrer Switch-Bibliothek hinzuzufügen, unabhängig davon, ob Sie ein Neuling sind oder schon seit der NES-Zeit spielen.
Herausgeber: Zurück Digital / Entwickler: Sabotage
Inspiriert von: Ninja Gaiden
2D Side-Scrolling-Actionspiele wie die du noch nicht ausprobiert hast Heutzutage gibt es vielleicht ein Dutzend, Aber Sie würden etwas Besonderes verpassen, wenn Sie darauf verzichten würden. Mit einer überraschend langen Kampagne, ein unglaublicher Soundtrack und dicht, herausfordernde Leveldesigns, we’d be remiss not to mention its incredible chiptune soundtrack as well. The Messenger stands as a shining example of great game design in the old-school mould which deftly skips from 8- to 16-bits without missing a beat, and the game remains an absolute treat in Switch’s fully-stocked larder of sweetmeats.

Inspiriert von: … you’re not even trying, are you?
Das Original Sonic the Hedgehog und seine zweieinhalb Fortsetzungen was a true return to form for SEGA’s mascot, in seinem 2D „Classic’ zumindest verkleiden, and celebrates the glory days of the original Mega Drive / Genesis games while also enhancing their qualities and taking on new ideas. Aus neuen Gebieten, imaginative second acts and some delightful boss encounters, Das Entwicklungsteam hat viel Leidenschaft und Talent in das Projekt gesteckt. The new characters and modes that came in the Plus update added some neat tweaks which iron out some of the kinks present in the original release, and after the blue hedgehog’s unarguably patchy history in the intervening decades, it was an absolute pleasure to see him return in one of the best 2D platformers of recent memory.

Inspiriert von: Sunsoft’s original Blaster-Meister
Inti Creates knocked it out of the park with Blaster Master Zero 2, improving on the original ‘reboot’ in nearly every conceivable way while also setting a clear path forward for what could hopefully become a flagship series for the company. Tight platforming action, memorable boss battles, plenty of extra side content, and some gorgeous pixel art make this one of the easiest recommendations on the eShop; we’d strongly encourage you to pick this one up. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or are just getting into it for the first time, Blaster Master Zero 2 is a stellar experience from stem to stern, and further cements Inti Creates’ legacy as one of the best developers in the retro gaming business.
Blaster Master Zero 3 also hits all the notes to deliver a high octane and satisfying retro platforming experience with a dark world mechanic which adds a nice extra layer to the overall design. We probably wouldn’t start with 3, though — you should first play the preceding two entries. Really, these games are just dass good.

Inspiriert von: Harvest Moon
Stardew Valley offers its players a chance to live a second life – one where you can forget the troubles of the real world and get excited over finding a particularly rare carrot. Es ist ein wirklich magisches Erlebnis; Spiele können oft Spaß machen, aber nicht alle sind so fesselnd wie dieses. It’s the sort of game that ideally requires a significant amount of time to be invested; Die Freude entsteht nicht unbedingt durch die alltäglichen Handlungen, die Sie ausführen, sondern vielmehr aus dem allgemeinen Anwachsen des Stolzes, Zufriedenheit, and sense of security as the days go by in this colourful, 16-bit-styled farm sim. Fans of games such as Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing will be right at home here.

Inspiriert von: die Metroid Serie
Axiom Rand channels the gameplay of Metroid into an old-school action adventure which adds a dusting of twists and surprises to keep things feeling fresh. As well as delivering the patented exploration you’d expect from a title with Metroid in its DNA, there’s also an affecting narrative to follow as you’re filling out the world map and blasting nasties to kingdom come. Während Super Metroid still plays beautifully these days, the original NES game doesn’t hold up as well as it might, and playing the sublime Axiom Verge only highlights how far we’ve come since then.

Inspiriert von: 1930s Fleischer or Disney cell animation, Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen, Gunstar-Helden, Mega Man
Cuphead fires nostalgia out of every orifice. Whether you’re a sucker for its early 20th century style of animation or can’t get enough of run-and-gun boss battlers, StudioMDHR’s classic – which was an Xbox One console exclusive until it made a surprising jump to Switch – is the same visually jaw-dropping, klanglich entzückend, Es war ein unglaublich schwieriges Spiel auf der Microsoft-Konsole und die Bibliothek der Switch ist umso besser für ihre Präsenz. Der Fokus auf intensive Bosskämpfe wird nicht jedermanns Geschmack sein, Aber solange Sie wissen, worauf Sie sich einlassen, können wir es nur wärmstens empfehlen. Just look daran!
