The Iran-Contra scandal dominates American political headlines, while Konami\u2019s <em>Contra<\/em> sucks up coins in arcades. But towering above them all is the watershed moment of <em>Jaws<\/em> arriving on the NES. (&#8220;This time there&#8217;s no escape!&#8221;, warned the box art.) Now, 38 years later, the 8-bit game is returning as a Limited Run Games physical re-release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">The retro release coincides with the Spielberg movie&#8217;s 50th anniversary. From December 19 to January 18, you can pre-order a physical copy for Switch and PS5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">It will be available in two physical editions: a standard (&#8220;Retro Edition&#8221;) one for $35, and a deluxe (&#8220;The Bigger Boat Edition&#8221;) one for $100. The latter adds an NES-inspired box, a physical CD of the game soundtrack, a keychain and \u2014 best of all \u2014 a pixelated shark lamp. Both versions include original and &#8220;enhanced&#8221; versions of the 1987 game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Promo art for the Jaws NES reissue\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/t1boLISGg_.Ta3zMylfirw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--\/https:\/\/d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net\/images\/user-uploaded\/jaws_2.jpg\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] figure-caption mt-1 line-clamp-2 mt-2.5 md:mt-2 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span class=\"[&amp;_p]:inline\">Promo art for the Jaws NES reissue<\/span><span> (Limited Run Games)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">The game is split mainly between a birds-eye view (where you pilot your boat around the map) and an underwater side view (where you harpoon the shit out of marine wildlife). Eventually, you&#8217;ll encounter Jaws. After several of these encounters, gradually diminishing his hit points, you&#8217;ll try to finish him off in a faux-3D perspective on the water&#8217;s surface. If you think this sounds like a minor variation of what you found in a handful of other licensed NES games from that era, you wouldn&#8217;t be wrong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">You can pre-order the <em>Jaws<\/em> re-release from <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gematsu.com\/2025\/12\/jaws-retro-edition-announced-for-ps5-switch\" data-i13n=\"cpos:1;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Limited Run Games&#039; website;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Limited Run Games&#8217; website<\/a>, starting on December 19 at 10 AM ET.
