NIGHTMARE BUSTERS

Is coming to Super Nintendo

Pix’n Love Games and Aurora Game Studio are bringing back the magic of the Super Nintendo with the arrival of Nightmare Bustersin physical cartridge format!




A MUST-HAVE ADVENTURE ON SUPER NINTENDO
Super Nintendo lover and retrogaming fans, get ready to travel back to the 1990s with an announcement sure to fire up your hearts: Nightmare Busters, the legendary run’n gun from the golden age of 16-bit, is finally landing on cartridge in a fully complete and optimized version!

1995-2025: 30 YEARS OF HISTORY
Originally conceived in the ‘90s by the talented duo Christophe Gayraud and Jean-Christophe Alessandri, Nightmare Busters is a side-scrolling shooter in the pure tradition of arcade hits. With its gigantic sprites, intense action, and beautiful 2D visuals, Nightmare Busters had all the ingredients to become a run’n gun reference on the Super Nintendo. After months of development and a planned release in 1995, the game was sadly canceled — much to the disappointment of fans at the time. 30 years later, Pix’n Love Games and Aurora Game Studio are resurrecting this forgotten gem in the form of a brand-new cartridge edition for the SNES!

NIGHTMARE BUSTERS: THE ULTIMATE VERSION 
A true tribute to the original game and to all SNES enthusiasts, Nightmare Busters has been given a new lease of life in a definitive version featuring numerous improvements:

  • Critical bug fixes
  • Optimized 60Hz mode (US/NTSC versions)
  • Optimized 50Hz mode (PAL version)
  • Stereo sound enabled by default
  • All-new game modes

In honor of the 1990s’ spirit, Nightmare Busters will be available in three versions: American, European and Japanese. This is an opportunity to admire the specific characteristics of each region, and to reconnect with such a fascinating part of videogame history: specific boxes, game manuals and cartridge formats – a nostalgic journey back to the golden age of 16-bit gaming!
