Terminator 2D: No Fate (Day One Edition) – Nintendo Switch (2025)

Terminator 2D: No Fate is a retro-styled action platformer developed by Bitmap Bureau and released for the Nintendo Switch in late 2025. Designed as a “love letter” to 16-bit arcade classics like Contra and Metal Slug, the game retells the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day through vibrant, high-fidelity pixel art and a high-energy synth soundtrack. Players primarily control Sarah Connor and a future-war John Connor, though the T-800 is playable in specific segments, such as a multi-plane beat-em-up bar fight. The gameplay is a mix of 8-way directional shooting, vehicle chases, and light stealth, featuring a “No Fate” mechanic that allows players to make key narrative choices—such as the fate of Miles Dyson—leading to three distinct endings and alternate level paths. While critics and fans have praised its authentic 90s atmosphere, “pixel-perfect” animations, and faithful recreation of the film’s iconic scenes, the game has faced some criticism for its very short length, a single playthrough lasts roughly 45 to 90 minutes.
