Oh my God! I don't care that Splatterhouse 2 was one of the most frustrating gaming experiences of my life -- any title that features telekinetic hanging fetus zombies that you chainsaw to death is the pinnacle of videogame achievement. The news that a current-gen Splatterhouse game is actually being made has caused me to become so excited, I might just puke, here and now, all over my hands and keyboard.
EGM will have an exclusive first look at this retro revival, as one of old school gaming's most blood-soaked franchises gets a fresh coat of paint for the current generation. To whomever may be responsible for resurrecting this game, if you are reading this, let it be known that I will have your babies -- morality and biological impossibilities be damned!
There'll be plenty of time for cynicism later, but right now, in my overexcited state, let me declare that this is going to be the GREATEST GAME EVER MADE!

I always saw the Splatterhouse cabinets in arcades but...never did play it. I unno why.
Sorry, couldn't hold my orgasm. But damn, I'm already hyped for this! I loved the Genesis games. But since it's Namco-Bandai, I hope we don't get a second Soul Calibur Legends..*shrugs*
nothing ever changes.

Maybe it's because my humor is on par with an 8 year old but I used to laugh (and still do) when you'd press up and it would look like you were chainsawing people with your jackson.

AWESOME - this was one of my favourite megadrive games.
Awesome avatar RitualNet, I loved that game.
But for the love of money, please don't make it an FPS.
I never played the original but it sounds awesome.
Oh, and this better be the goriest game I've ever played in my life. Like, so gory it will make me puke.
*shakes fist*

But I haven't been hiding. I've been here with you this whole time. “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”

I have no doubt in my mind that this glorious day is due to your tireless campaigning. The gods have smiled upon us.
Yes, yes I would.
That is all that needs to be said.

Awesome.
