EGM Heads to the Splatterhouse
Retro revival blowout in the June issue.
Splatterhouse is arguably the first survival horror game ever. Sure, it was a bit heavy on the horror and light on the survival, but it's hard to come up with an earlier example of a game with as much bloodshed and terror as this arcade beat-em-up. Purveyors of violence and filth that we videogame folk are, we couldn't be more excited to present the exclusive reveal of Namco Bandai's next-gen resurrection of the Splatterhouse franchise in the upcoming June issue of EGM.
But that's not even all! In addition our world exclusive first look at Splatterhouse, we've got updates on Bionic Commando, Street Fighter IV, Tecmo Bowl, Golden Axe: Beast Rider, Sonic Unleashed, Alone in the Dark, Alien Crush, Space Invaders Extreme, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (including the first look at a popular red-haired baddie). Heck, we have even more than that. Retro is the flavor of the season, and EGM has all the scoops you need to get full.
What else awaits in the June issue of EGM? Glad you asked! Here are some highlights:The June issue of EGM is on its way to subscribers now and should start landing in mailboxes across the nation on Thursday.

TECMO BOWL® IS BACK!
The Legend Returns With TECMO BOWL®: KICKOFF For the Nintendo DS™
TORRANCE, Calif. May 1, 2008 — Leading video game developer and publisher Tecmo® today announced TECMO BOWL®: KICKOFF, exclusively for the Nintendo DS™. Based on the most popular Tecmo Super Bowl™, KICKOFF will deliver to long time fans and newcomers easy to employ controls, fun, huge plays and exciting cut-scenes. The classic, over-the-top, all-American football game enables players of all levels to engage in a fun filled, fast paced, arcade style of football.
“We are extremely excited to bring back everyone’s favorite football game to the Nintendo DS,” said Ryan Gilbo, executive producer, Tecmo, Inc. “KICKOFF is packed with everything that fans wanted to see in this revival. No other football game will ever compare to TECMO BOWL as this is the game that started it all."
TECMO BOWL: KICKOFF brings a host of new features that will further enhance the gameplay experience, including:
- Customizable Teams: Choose team colors, emblems, player names, team cities and abilities.
- Super Abilities: Tactically use over-the-top plays to take over a game.
- Wi-Fi and Wireless Multiplayer: Play against friends across the country or across the room.
- Stylus Control: Feel the action by using the stylus to control your player.
- Variety of Teams: Choose from 32 different teams.
- Cut-Scenes: All-new cut-scenes showing off the dramatic presentation of various plays.
- Customizable Playbook: Prepare for gridiron greatness by customizing your playbook.
- Music and Sound Effects: Turn up the heat on your opponent as you play the game to rock ‘n’ roll remixes of the most memorable tunes in football gaming history!
TECMO BOWL: KICKOFF is scheduled to launch Fall 2008. The game has not yet been rated by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB). - PR
With the Wii version of Rygar pushed back until 2009, the next retro revival we'll see from Tecmo will be Tecmo Bowl. The antiquated pigskin sim will be coming back twice, on both the Nintendo DS and, eventually the Wii.
In speaking with Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff Executive Producer Keisuke Kikcuhi, we learn that he wasn't very happy with the last Tecmo Bowl developed for PS1 back in 1996. "On PS1, we simply remade the 2D game with 3D graphics to try and keep in step with Madden. For the Wii version, we're designing the game for the third dimension from the ground up but plan to keep the classic Tecmo Bowl playability intact." While supervised from Tecmo's Tokyo headquarters, the Wii version of Tecmo Bowl will be developed in America because, as Kikchu puts it, "Football is an American game, so it makes sense for a title of this type to be developed in the country of its origin." Expect the DS version to update classic Tecmo Bowl formula with Wi-Fi play, stylus control and a wealth of Tecmo-themed fan service.
Why revive the series now?
Kikuchi admits, "For business reasons and timing reasons, it's a good time to support Nintendo. We've always talked about bringing the series, and is the right place and time for it. I recently played the DS version of Madden and was discouraged at how complex it was to control on a such simple system. I figured make something much more playable, so now seems ideal for a comeback." - EGM

The developer behind the game is BottleRocket, who in various incarnations were responsible for the Sony PS2 hits Mark of Kri and Rise of the Kasai. Both of those games were attractive (they basically looked like a Disney film in terms of character design and animation) and -- belying the smooth graphics -- surprisingly violent. This made BottleRocket a solid choice to develop the revival of Namco Bandai's hyper-violent action series, which will arrive on both PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime around mid-2009.

A mi lo que no me gusta del 3 es la "exploración", que en vez de ser avanzar y cargarte todo bicho no-viviente has de ir por varios caminos, pero sin tener ni puta idea de a donde has de ir xD

Pues a ver si me pongo con ello
Muchas gracias por la info

Me parece bastante más gore que el Splatterhouse.
Igualmente me encantaba las tardes que me pasaba machacando a fetos
