Dying for beautiful 16-bit action in the modern era? Aloft Studios may be able to help with that.

The indie developer just recently unveiled that their Zelda-like Hazelnut Bastille is now in development for Nintendo Switch. From a first glance, it emulates the amazing sprite-work of classics like Chrono Trigger and Golden Sun.

Check out the teaser trailer below.

Hazelnut Bastille, for PC, Mac, and Linux, and now Nintendo Switch, is a lush, topdown Zelda-like Metroidvania in a 16bit JRPG style, which seeks to continue the great lineage of superior design from the mid 90’s.
