The first screen of the
recently revealed revival of Namco Bandai's
Splatterhouse has been uncovered, thanks to 1Up. The new
Splatterhouse is set to release in the middle of 2009 and is being developed by BottleRocket (
Mark of Kri,
Rise of the Kasai). Details surrounding the game are sparse at the moment, apart from the revelation that the game's protagonist, Rick (pictured above) will be making a return. More details -- and presumably many more images -- will be coming in the June issue of
Electronic Gaming Monthly.

Back in the day when the turbo graffix 16 was a new item and arcades reigned supreme, a game came out called Slaughterhouse.
Which basically was an intended clone of jason from the friday the 13th films.
Upon releasing this game on the tg16 it was decided to change the name to splatterhouse.
I loved this series back in the day and to here that the franchise is comming back leaves me asking, "are you fucking serious?". Totally sweet, whats next? Bonk or blazing lazers anyone?

This is awesome news. I've been a huge fan of the series for the longest time. I'm glad to see that Namco is re-picking this one up!
