Splatterhouse coming to the VC!

Namco’s arcade and Turbografix 16 classic is on it’s way to the Wii Virtual Console!

This game was one of the goriest platformers of it’s day, and while it’s a pretty “basic” experience, there’s something ever so satisfying about whacking zombies into the background with a 2 by 4 only to see them SPLAT against the wall.

I wonder if it will be the arcade / Japan version of the rom with the white hockey-masked protagonist, or the US version with the red mask (which was there to avoid copyright issues with the Friday the 13th people).

Gotta love that living room filled with … um … intestines? (They make great bean-bag type chairs I guess.)

I hope they release Splatterhouse 3.

What an amazing game that still is today.

I like the idea of a roving beat’em up.

I played the 3rd one once … never got further than the first level (floors?) … it had the Splatterhouse flavor going … but it was, different… kind of like a Legend of Zelda dungeon layout mixed with the side scrolling beat em up.

I guess it all depends on how the 1st one sells.

The US VC release has the red-masked version.

Just in case anybody was wondering.

Splatterhouse 3 was insanely hard. 2 was awesome though.
