Look forward to it coming out on Xboxlive. (It could happen?)

They should even put in all the poor translations!

Friggin loved this game on Genesis.

It will probably suck but oh well, I'll give any disc a spin once or twice before shipping it back to Gamestop

Revive any game you want from the older generations but please polish them to high levels of non-suck. You know we will buy your game just give us a good one.

The other "Retro Revivals" they list on the cover are:
Street Fighter IV
Sonic Unleashed
Alone In the Dark
Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff
Golden Axe: Beast Rider
Bionic Commando

If you follow the link in this article to 1UP, it also lists Alien Crush, Space Invaders Extreme, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix as amongst the 35.

...So in other words they took some liberties as to what a "Retro Revival" would be, as some like Sonic have been steadily releasing sequels for years.. I expect the remainder of the 35 to fall along similar lines, and aren't really revivals so much as sequels whose originals came out in the eighties/early nineties.

If you're looking to remember how "badass" Splatterhouse was was back in the day, the Turbografx16 / Wii VC port is definitely not the way to go. My vivid memory of that port was dissapointment... even though the gameplay was intact it lacked many of the gory details & graphics (which really, the game was all about) from the arcade game.

Mame it up instead :)

@Komrade_Kayce:
Amen, a star to you, my good man. That's what worries me with a lot of these "retro revivals": How are they gonna affect the brand image that the classics built up?

Not sure exactly, but the original TurboGrafx 16 port of Splatterhouse is currently available via the Wii Virtual Console. Guess we'll have to wait and see what the new one is going to come out on once the new EGM is out.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go and download it and remember how badass that game was back in the day. It shall be my first VC purchase.

On the topic of old-school revivals though? Needs more Punch-Out! for the Wii.

Maybe we'll see Mutant League Football return next? Yes? Please?

Please for the love of all things holy don't screw up this revival. Spatterhouse was truly one of the best arcade classics.

Namco can mess up things too you know. Just look at SC Legends for one example, and the dreadful Dead to Rights games etc.

But yeah, I would love the return of SOR. I actually still play the 2nd and third games more often than most new games.

Well it was either you or the guy downstairs. Either way, thanks mysterious deity! Man, this brings back so many beautiful memories of playing Splatterhouse 3 on the old Genesis as a kid.

psycoking

It was one of those games that gives you the feeling of a psycho serial killer, but with a love story entwined in blood and gore, and with cutscenes that were enticingly freaky, not allowing you to take your eyes off of the screen for one second.

Also somewhat challenging, so that you can beat the time on each level, giving you that feeling of suspense.

Now, if they were to utilize that into the new game, with an awesome storyline, and none of that cheap filler shit, then we may have a good game.

I mean, I love "hack-n-slash" games, but by not giving this game what it rightfully deserves to become a great remake, it should more than likely just stay the way it ended with Splatterhouse 3.

splatterhouse 2 was the first game i got with my megadrive, still love it even though it's a bit shallow. I'd love a first person melee version for the wii, kinda like condemned. To me, condmened reminded me a lot of splatterhouse 2&3.

...I hope it's not as hard as the other games...I never got far in any of them ._.

Also, a random thought:
I just saw the Forbidden Kingdom, and liked it a lot. But, the trailers gave me absolutely no idea what the movie was about, at least accurately. 5 min in, I was in a very '...what?' state. Then, it got awesome.

It's a shame this doesn't work for games, cause then you could start out as Rick, walking around your house or something...then BAM TERROR MASK! and "HOLY CRAP! It's Splatterhouse o.o"

If done really, really well (like MGS2, but with something awesome instead of something like kicking the real character aside for some emo kid >.>;), that would be pretty sweet.

What I'm really looking for is a "Mutant League Football" revival though.

interficium

I am very excited for this game. It should be an all out gore-fest. :D

I've been trying to figure out what they were hinting at in the last issue of EGM. Sweeeeet...

i wouldn't get hopes up of that turning out to be good.

Im officially excited now. Tecmo Bowl coming back is equally as exciting if not more exciting than more splatterhouse.

Nuh uh. The perfect boyfriend is either Billy/Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon. A boyfriend who fights his way through hundreds of badguys, then when only him and his best friend are left to rescue you, he fights his best friend to the death over your love.

The ending to the first double dragon is far more fucked up than anything splatterhouse haha

Im curious as to what those other 34 remakes are going to be though. Unless some of them already include ones we already know about like Golden Axe:Beast Rider. Fatal Fury please?

ArmyofJuan

I never thought I would see the day...

im more excited about the xbl/psn bionic commando than the new one coming out. sorry to be pessimistic, who knows, it could be cool.

Then again, Sega might mess it up anyway.

Or should I weep that the current generation of gamers will only know all these once-were name droppers as mediocre games. I mean, Bionic Commando better turn out to be fucking 11/10 or Im gonna poop myself.

I guess this is what movie buffs find repulsive/intriguing about remakes.
