Haunted: Halloween ’87 coming to NES, Switch

October of 2025 will mark the 10 year anniversary of Retrotainment, and to celebrate the team will be releasing Haunted: Halloween ‘87 (Year of the Witch). This title will complete the Haunted: Halloween trilogy on the NES! Haunted: Halloween ‘85 was the studio’s very first game as a team. It was released in 2015 and Haunted: Halloween ‘86 (The Curse Of Possum Hollow) followed a year later.

If you’ve played either of the previous two games, you likely have a good idea what to expect in ‘87 – more of the same but turned up to 11! If you haven’t, well then it’s high time you got into some 8-Bit Halloween adventures. This title will see release on both the Switch and NES thanks to the successful Kickstarter campaign.

Halloween ‘87 Features:

• Broomstick Rides: Find the witch’s hidden stashes of broomsticks and take them for a ride to collect extra goodies. Collect crabapples to throw at enemies while flying.
• Upgradable Power Moves: Collect Spell Books to make your power moves extra explosive.
• Upgrade Smashable Objects: Collect Potions to give AOE damage to throwable objects, allowing you to decimate multiple enemies at once.
• Wall Jump: Grab onto walls and use them to reach higher ground.
• Blocking: Time your blocks and then counter attack.
• Uppercuts, Flip Kicks, and Dash Attacks.
