Yes! You can even patch either the US (to remove the censorship) or Japanese (to translate it and regain a few graphics) roms. I love Bionic Commando aka Top Secret: Return of Hitler

You still are, they show up frequently in WW2 games. Return To Castle Wolfenstein came out in 2001 and features lots of swastikas. For Not-Retro examples, the later Wolfenstein games feature them plenty, such as the 2009 (which also featured the sonnenrad a bit), and The New Order.
You've got the armbands and banners and everything in these games, and even the sci-fi cyborg monsters in RTCW proudly bear it stamped on their cybernetics and armor.

It's primarily been Germany which have reee'd about it and demanded it censored regardless of the context, which I think they eased up on a few years ago, but mainly this would manifest in a special censored version of a game for delicate German sensibilities. For instance, TNO and its sequels uses the so called "Wolven League" emblem in place of the swastika, that is, RTCW's logo.

Not in most multiplayer WW2 games these days. Since those games tend to be online PvP and they don't want people to play as a Nazi, or have the Nazi team "win" so they just call them "Germans" or anything other than Nazis. This also lets them try to boast about how inclusive they are being by having black people and women on the TotallyNotNazis army, because if there is anything 1940s Germany was known for (Or even 1940s US for that matter), it's being tolerant about black people and women in positions of power. Also this way they can sell you thousands of dollars in cosmetic microtransactions for your online character, they don't want to drive away people that don't want to play as a white guy. God forbid a videogame taking place in World War II lets you play as the bad guys and have accurate battle scenarios. Nobody seems to have issues playing as "terrorists" in Counter Strike, and that's a fictional game. Pretty sure someone playing on a Nazi team in a videogame is about as likely to become a Nazi as someone playing as a terrorist in Counter Strike is likely to become an actual terrorist. I definitely never became a plumber from playing Mario.

Single player modes/fully single player games however yes. They have no problem including actual Nazi imagery since they are exclusively computer-controlled enemies.

Even more pathetic were the people >>9694068 mentioned who complained New Colossus was offensive because you slaughter Nazis in it. Who the fuck complains about killing Nazis?

Yeah, it used to be heavily banned in all but educational material. I recall reading that it's ok to include it in fictional material too now as long as it's not promoting Nazism, which I can't see anyone doing anyway.

Honestly both Nazis & Commies are degenerates. I wonder if there's a game where I can kill them both? Maybe I'll just mod GTA3 since it's easier to edit skins, buildings & vehicles on there.

I got the impression that the complaints were more about who you had to side with rather than who you had to fight. Well, the more sensible ones at least.

The problem for a long time was that you were allowed to use Nazi iconography in art, so for example movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark didn't have to be censored. But video games weren't officially classified as "art" in the law until just a few years ago.
Nowadays you're allowed to include as much of it as you want, as long as it doesn't come off as promoting Nazi ideas, but a lot of companies decide to censor stuff anyway for marketing reasons, to prevent public outrage by media outlets/concerned parents or whatever.

True, it was incredibly obnoxious and manipulative, and aggressively insincere, NONE of the Wolfenstein games before New Colossus, be they retro or not, were like this, neither in tone or in marketing.
