Nintendo Switch凭借令人惊叹的全新第一方游戏(例如《塞尔达传说:旷野之息》)(The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)对Nintendo大受欢迎。然后是来自Xbox 360(Xbox 360)和PlayStation 3一代的精彩视频游戏端口,它们通过手持设备为它们注入了新的活力。
例如, Skyrim(Skyrim)感觉就像一个全新的标题,现在我们可以在旅途中使用它。然而,不仅仅是这些(相对)现代游戏在Nintendo Switch上找到了一个不太可能的家。如果您知道去哪里寻找,您还会发现一些令人惊叹的 8 位、16 位和 32 位控制台世代的复古游戏。
甚至还有一些复古的 PC 端口!如果您对过去的游戏方式有些怀念,以下是我们认为最好的Nintendo Switch复古游戏。
Nintendo Switch上提供了每个主要的Doom条目。其中包括Doom 1、2、3、64(Doom 1,2,3)、Doom 2016和Doom Eternal。只有Doom的 1,2 和 64 算作复古,但我们认为您应该知道可用游戏的范围。是的,这个条目有三个标题。假装我们使用了Konami代码来欺骗列表中的更多条目。
Doom 1 和 2 不仅包括原始游戏的出色移植,Bethesda和 ID 还添加了几个最好的Doom模组和转换,并随着时间的推移不断增加。这(Which)使得前两场比赛非常物有所值。Doom 64仅在Nintendo 64上正式可用。2020 年,它收到了 PC 和控制台的端口,其中包括Switch。这也是一个非常好的经典Doom体验。
所有这三款游戏都是令人惊叹的复古射击游戏,您可以在其中填充一个孤独的太空海洋与火星(Mars)、火星(Mars)卫星、地狱(Hell)和地球(Earth)上的恶魔战斗的血淋淋的靴子。最重要的是,您可以通过LAN或分屏播放拍摄您的好友。这是一场“地狱”的爆炸!
另一个来自 32 位时代的经典射击游戏,这个版本的Duke Nukem 3D可能是我们的最爱。它无疑是最好的掌机版本,取代了出色但被忽视的索尼 Vita(Sony Vita)游戏端口。
Duke Nukem 3D是一款粗暴、粗鲁的射击游戏,它并没有把自己当回事,但仍然提供了完美的射击游戏体验。杜克(Duke)必须应对外星人的入侵和对地球婴儿的大规模绑架。
这个版本的游戏提供了经典的杜克(Duke)体验,还有全新的真实 3D 渲染模式以及全新的原创情节!这是在大屏幕上或在旅途中玩Duke Nukem的绝佳方式。(Duke Nukem)
任天堂不再在(Nintendo)Switch上向我们出售他们的复古经典游戏,而是决定向订阅Nintendo Online服务的任何人提供NES和SNES游戏库。(SNES)该服务相当便宜,特别是如果您使用家庭计划覆盖多个游戏机,但如果您以前从未订阅过,也可以尝试 7 天试用。
仅云保存备份功能就值得,但锁定在这两个应用程序中的是一些有史以来最好的 8 位和 16 位游戏。其中包括《塞尔达(Legend)传说(Zelda):与过去的(Past)联系(Link)》和《超级银河战士(Super Metroid)》等重量级游戏,也包括《塞尔达传说 2(Zelda 2) 》和《星际热带(StarTropics)》等古怪游戏。物超所值,每个Switch所有者都应该至少尝试一次这些Nintendo Switch复古游戏。您很有可能会发现(或重新发现)一个令人难忘的标题。
为了不被昔日的竞争对手任天堂(Nintendo)超越,世嘉为超受欢迎的(Sega)Sega Genesis(或Mega Drive,取决于您来自哪里)控制台推出了自己的大型经典游戏系列。
但是,您可以直接购买整个系列并永久保存,而不是向您收取月费。这不仅仅是ROM(ROMs)的集合,您可以通过一个精确到周期的虚拟卧室访问游戏,其中的架子上塞满了那一代最好的游戏。这包括世嘉(Sega)的中流砥柱,如刺猬(Sonic)索尼克(Hedgehog)和金斧(Golden Axe),但几乎每个游戏都值得拥有。
仿真很棒,但并不完美。然而,除了最挑剔的纯粹主义者之外,所有人都不会喜欢这个出色的收藏。值得等待它开始销售,每年有一次或两次 50% 的折扣。只需(Simply)将游戏列入愿望清单,即可在价格下跌时收到提醒。
恶魔城周年纪念系列(Castlevania Anniversary Collection)
这是列表中的最后一个集合,但肯定不是最不重要的。Castlevania对“metroidvania”类型的诞生负有一半责任,这个周年纪念系列包括不少于八款经典的恶魔城(Castlevania)游戏,从第一个标题开始。
它还包括Kid Dracula,这是一款仅针对GameBoy以日语发布的游戏,但现在有英语(English)版本。该系列包括一本“恶魔城历史(History)”一书以及快速保存等功能。因此,如果老板消灭了你,你不必一路回到关卡的开始。他们会的!
虽然这款街机游戏确实为世嘉创世纪(Sega Genesis)和世嘉 32X(Sega 32X)提供了一个平淡无奇的端口,但这是第一次为家庭系统发布完美的端口。它不仅完美,而且实际上是街机原版的显着改进,具有更清晰的图形和完美的帧率。
虚拟赛车(Racing)可能很短,但与朋友一起玩会令人上瘾且非常有趣。它也是具有历史意义的Nintendo Switch复古游戏,预示着真正的 3D 图形在街机中的出现。一定要选这个。
世嘉时代梦幻之星(Sega Ages Phantasy Star)
梦幻之星(Phantasy Star)是日本角色扮演游戏历史上一个重要的头衔,但奇怪的是,这个头衔很难找到。三部续作都是上面提到的创世纪系列(Genesis Collection)的一部分,但世嘉(Sega)终于把事情做好了,发布了一个完美模拟的游戏版本,作为世嘉时代(Sega Ages)系列的一部分。
这是一个纯粹的、优秀的地牢爬行者,最初为JRPG(JRPG)家族树的这个分支铺平了道路。它今天仍然是一款引人入胜的游戏,并且图形保留了 8 位Sega Master System可以实现的最佳效果。
经典最终幻想游戏
[9 FF8]
Switch上有很多主线最终幻想(Final Fantasy)游戏,但我们认为唯一值得贴上“复古”标签的是(9)数字7、8(7)和9(8)。鉴于较旧的标题尚未在系统上。
随着最终幻想 8(Final Fantasy 8)获得完整的重制,这三者都获得了生活质量的改善(例如作弊和快速转发) 。所有这些游戏都以不同的方式代表了该系列中的佼佼者,尽管 8 和 9 并没有得到应有的爱。三个史诗般的冒险,花很少的钱,谁能拒绝?
热衷于梦想的指挥官(Commander Keen in Keen Dreams)
我们列表中的最后一款游戏并不是其系列中最好的,但我们认为它应该在这里,因为它实际上是经典MS-DOS平台游戏的重新发布。虽然游戏机往往会因为这类游戏而获得大部分关注,但ID Software(以Doom闻名)实际上制作了一系列精彩的平台游戏,其中包括男孩天才指挥官基恩(Commander Keen)。
对我们来说,续集Goodbye Galaxy是更好的游戏,但Keen Dreams仍然很有趣,也许如果有足够多的人购买,Goodbye Galaxy也会得到同样的待遇。公平(Fair)警告,Switch eShop上也有这款游戏的“权威版”。(Definitive Edition)这款Nintendo Switch复古游戏版本更加现代化,并且对标题进行了较大的改动。它本身就是一款不错的游戏,但如果您想要原始体验,请选择这款游戏。

10 Best Nintendo Switch Retro Games
The Nintendo Switch has been a massive hit for Nintendo with amazing new first-party games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Then there are fantastic video game ports from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation which have new life breathed into them by going handheld.
Skyrim, for example, feels like an entirely new title now that we can take it on the go. Yet it’s not just these (relatively) modern games that have found an unlikely home on the Nintendo Switch. If you know where to look, you’ll also find some amazing retro titles from the 8- 16- and 32- bit console generations.
There are even a few retro PC ports thrown in as well! If you’re feeling a little nostalgic for the way games used to be, the following are the best Nintendo Switch retro games in our opinion.
DOOM 1, 2 & 64
Every main Doom entry is available on the Nintendo Switch. That includes Doom 1,2,3, 64, Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. Only Dooms 1,2 and 64 count as retro mind you, but we thought you should know the extent of the available games. Yes, this entry has three titles. Just pretend we used the Konami code to cheat more entries into the list.
Doom 1 and 2 not only include great ports of the original games, Bethesda and ID have also added several of the very best Doom mods and conversions and keep adding more as time goes on. Which makes the first two games incredibly good value for money. Doom 64 was only ever available on the Nintendo 64 officially. In 2020 it received ports to PC and console, which included the Switch. It’s also a wickedly-good classic Doom experience.
All three of these games are amazing retro shooters where you fill the blood-soaked boots of a lone space marine fighting demons on Mars, Mars’ moons, in Hell and on Earth. Best of all, you can shoot your buddies via LAN or split-screen play. It’s a “hell” of a blast!
Another classic shooter from the 32-bit era, this release of Duke Nukem 3D is perhaps our favorite. It’s certainly the best handheld version, supplanting the excellent yet overlooked Sony Vita port of the game.
Duke Nukem 3D was the rowdy, raunchy shooter that didn’t take itself seriously but still offered a pitch-perfect shooter experience. Duke has to deal with an alien invasion and the mass kidnapping of Earth’s babes.
This version of the game offers the classic Duke experience, but also a new true 3D rendering mode as well as an entirely new original episode! It’s a great way to play Duke Nukem on the big screen or on the go.
Instead of selling us their retro classic games yet again on Switch, Nintendo has decided to offer a NES and SNES game library to anyone who subscribes to the Nintendo Online service. The service is fairly cheap, especially if you’re using the family plan to cover multiple consoles, but you can also try a 7-day trial if you’ve never subscribed before.
It’s worth it just for the cloud save backup function, but locked in these two apps are some of the best 8-bit and 16-bit games ever made. These include heavy hitters such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Metroid, but also quirky titles such as Zelda 2 and StarTropics. It’s amazing value for money and every Switch owner should try these Nintendo Switch retro games at least once. There’s a very good chance you’ll discover (or re-discover) an unforgettable title.
Not to be outdone by erstwhile rival Nintendo, Sega have put out their own mega collection of classic titles for the ultra-popular Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive, depending on where you’re from) console.
Rather than charge you a monthly fee however, you can buy the entire collection outright and keep it forever. This is more than just a collection of ROMs, you access the games via a period-accurate virtual bedroom, with a shelf stuffed with some of the very best games from that generation. That includes Sega mainstays such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Golden Axe, but almost every title is worth having.
The emulation is great, but not perfect. However, all but the most picky purists wouldn’t enjoy this excellent collection. It is worth waiting for it to go on sale, with 50% discounts happening once or twice a year. Simply wishlist the game to get an alert when the price drops.
This is the last collection on the list, but certainly not the least. Castlevania is half responsible for the birth of the “metroidvania” genre and this anniversary collection includes no fewer than eight classic Castlevania games, starting from the very first title.
It also includes Kid Dracula, a game released in Japanese only for the GameBoy, but now available in English. The collection includes a “History of Castlevania” book and features such as quick save. So you don’t have to go all the way back to the start of a level if a boss wipes you out. Which they will!
While this arcade hit did receive a lackluster port to the Sega Genesis and Sega 32X, this is the first time that a perfect port has been released for home systems. Not only is it perfect, it’s actually a significant improvement over the arcade original, with much sharper graphics and flawless framerates.
Virtual Racing may be short, but it’s addictive and great fun to play with friends. It’s also a historically important Nintendo Switch retro game, heralding the advent of true 3D graphics in arcades. Definitely pick this one up.
Phantasy Star is a significant title in the history of Japanese role playing games, but this first title was strangely hard to find. The three sequels are all part of the Genesis Collection mentioned above, but Sega finally made things right and released a perfectly emulated version of the game as part of the Sega Ages series.
This is a pure, good old dungeon crawler which originally paved the way for this branch of the JRPG family tree. It’s still an engrossing game to play today and the graphics preserve the very best of what the 8-bit Sega Master System could pull off.
Classic Final Fantasy Games
[9 FF8]
There is a long list of mainline Final Fantasy games on the Switch, but the only ones we feel deserve the “retro” label are numbers 7, 8 and 9. Given that older titles are not yet on the system.
All three have received quality of life improvements (such as cheats and fast forwarding) with Final Fantasy 8 getting a complete remaster. All of these games represent the best of the series in different ways, although 8 and 9 don’t get as much love as they deserve. Three epic adventures for very little money, who could say no?
The last game on our list isn’t the best of its series, but we think it should be here because it’s actually a re-release of a classic MS-DOS platformer. While the consoles tend to get most of the attention for this genre of game, ID Software (of Doom fame) actually made a series of fantastic platforming games featuring the boy genius Commander Keen.
For our money the sequel Goodbye Galaxy is the better game, but Keen Dreams is still tons of fun and maybe if enough people buy it, Goodbye Galaxy will get the same treatment. Fair warning, there’s also a “Definitive Edition” of this game on the Switch eShop. This Nintendo Switch retro game version is more modernized, and makes big changes to the title. It’s a fine game in its own right, but if you want the original experience go for this one instead.
