Halloween is almost here. In celebration, Retrotainment Games and Mega Cat Studios are bringing, respectively, Haunted: Halloween ‘86 and Creepy Brawlers to the Nintendo Switch. When designing these modern games for the retro console, he Pittsburgh-based indie developers abided by NES hardware restrictions. Haunted: Halloween ‘86 and Creepy Brawlers were coded in the original 6502 Assembly language, and the cartridges released in the fall of 2016 and 2017.

Here is the official synopsis for Haunted: Halloween ‘86:

October 31st, 1986: In the once-quiet town of Possum Hollow, two 11-year old kids are gearing up for some Halloween hijinks! Before a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating Donny and Tami venture up to the old farmhouse where Harry, the crazy old farmer, suddenly thrusts them into a nightmare. Now trapped deep down in his dungeon on a pile of bones, they must break out and find their way back home. They will face hordes of heinous haunts, monstrous bosses and environmental hazards as they make their way through the various landscapes of Possum Hollow and fight to save their town from the curse that plagues it.

And for Creepy Brawlers:

After a spectral hand pulls you out of your seat and into the silver screen, you become the underdog in an underworld championship. Lace-up your gloves and get ready to duck, bob, and weave as you punch-out a marathon of movie monsters, including the wolfman, backwoods psycho, and a very slick vampire. Dodge special attacks and time your counters perfectly, because a KO means losing the round...and your soul.

The horror games will launch on October 24th. Haunted: Halloween ‘86 will be priced at $9.99 and Creepy Brawlers will be priced at $4.99.
