New Splatterhouse to Include Original Splatterhouse Trilogy

Namco-Bandai's gory reboot will pay homage to the trilogy of gory sidescrollers its rebooting.

According to the latest issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine (The Third Moon, via Kotaku), Namco-Bandai's Splatterhouse remake for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will include unlockable versions of all three original Splatterhouse games released in Arcades and on the Turbografx-16 and Sega Genesis between 1988 and 1993.

Even more exciting: The version of the original Splatterhouse that'll be included is the original "uncensored Japanese" version, not the censored Turbografx-16 version we got in the U.S. Splatterhouse 2 and 3, naturally, will be the Sega Genesis versions, considering that's the only console 2 and 3 were made for.

Still unknown is exactly how the original Splatterhouse games will be unlocked, but nice to know they're in there anyway. Meanwhile, Splatterhouse -- the new one -- still doesn't have a set release date.

Very good news! (esp the uncensored version.)

That's a cool bonus. I loved the original games and if the new one is at least decent (I'm a little hesistant when games get scrapped and restarted midway in development) then this will be a fantastic deal.
