A new Splatterhouse? What? YES! photo

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!

[Thanks, DarkTravesty]

Something surpassing Jim's love for Dynasty Warriors? I must see this come about.

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*

notice how when fox get a hold of this information they blow up at the violent videogame depicting [insert overstatement here] of the game but not a single MENTION of a bad word at friday the 13th. i'm not sure if one iteration of the game got banned in the uk or not but either way it didnt blame friday the 13th in anyway.

nothing ever changes.

This rocks my face.

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.

What is the probability that a new Splatterhouse game will get caught up in a retarded Manhunt 2-like fiasco involving the clueless non-gaming media? I'd say that probability is pretty close to 1.

Played the first one when I was a kind on the Turbo. It was fun, and the only game I ever played on the Turbo. Don't know about the second one, but remakes seem to be a good way of going with XBLA/PSN games so far. As long as it isn't freaking 4:3.
