![Splatterhouse (Arcade) - Speed Run [13:28] (Former WR)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/BDmn-yGiuVc/mqdefault.jpg)
"She doesnt have to die rick." That line always gets me. So badass. Even though the new game had its fair share of problems, i loved it. The story is really compelling, the dynamic between the mask and rick. Giving yourself over to evil to do good.
Something about that line and the “if you just put me on” really hit different
"You give me blood, I give you power." I'm just now replaying this hidden gem after like a decade thanks to PC emulation, god it's so good. A literal GOW competitor in terms of combat.
I swear Dr. West is a homage to HP Lovecraft's Herbert West, the Reanimator.
Yes he is
That's the point
Im so happy my dad got a chance to help work on the 2010 Splatterhouse. He had always been a huge fan of the franchise.
very cool, good on your dad .
I smell lies
@@medotaku9360 you smelled wrong. I'm her father, and I did help out with the game.
@@dire51I'm your wife, you left me for years, the kids, everything. Where are you?
dad here on a alt account because my current wife is tracking my yt channel. You remember the neighbor jerry, ask him? Maybe next time try not to moan so loudly Joanne@@BIastProcX
The reason why the House is in the 2nd game is because IT IS NOT THE SAME HOUSE. It's made clear in the Japanese version of Splatterhouse 2, that there was a 2nd house and that is where West was doing experiments with that portal which you break the seal of to save Jennifer's soul. The very first level of Splatterhouse 2 is the burned remains of the FIRST house. That is why I say play the new translated rom of the Splatterhouse 2 because it's story is so much better as it's based off the original Japanese version.
Pixar The Great Right, and I used to go on the Splatterhouse fan forum and I think the Japanese manual mentioned West worked in that house with another doctor named Meuller, but some saying it was just West's. Who knows?
The translation changing the story reminds me of Castlevania 4's which made it sound like a sequel to Cv2 even tho that'd mean Simon would be alive for over 100 years lol
LovelyProductions
Dr.Mueller was just the American name in the Splatterhouse 2 manual. It's Dr.West in the Japanese manual and you get to kill him in Stage 5 I believe (it's been a while since I played the game).
Pixar The Great
Went over some info and it appears so. Have to say, its satisfying as hell to splatter the face of the bastard who started Rick's striggles XD
LovelyProductions
Well the real culprit behind Rick's struggles are the Hell Mask (Terror Mask for the US but I hate that name so I use the Japanese name).
Like Rick says at the end of Splatterhouse 2, as long as that mask remained, it could happen again.
Pixar The Great you don't know what you are talking about.
As a kid, Splatterhouse 3 was genuinely creepy. The god damn teddy bear...!
yeah that damn bear scene always stuck with me.. I seen this a while back and it reminded me of it.. ua-cam.com/video/g7jgI5iJFBI/v-deo.html
I remember that bear i was probably 6-7 years old plus the cutscenes before each level were so ominous and creepy definitely had to keep the night light on for a few nights after seeing that thing get up and start walking.
My mom has splatterhouse 3 the original for the Sega I don't know if it still works though
@@THELATINOCREAMER I have the originals of 2 and 3 still
Yeah Splatterhouse 3 terrified me as a kid the most in a creepy way, always skipped the intro.
Splatterhouse is too cool for Nintendo.
But not for the Famicom!
Or the Wii (virtual console) or Switch’s Namco Museum.
Nintendo had splatterhouse wankapu graffiti
The original splatterhouse was on TurboGrafx 16 and on Sega. The newer one was on PS3.
But there's the Famicom version, the Switch Port and the Wii Virtual Console
How do you go from splattering demon guts with a 2x4 to working on Wall Street? "I see a gap of a couple of years on your CV, Rick. Would you care to fill us in on what you were working on during this period?"
This is my favorite retro horror game series. It just oozes (and bleeds and pusses) personality. It was like all of the goodness of 80's slasher flicks in video game form in a way few other games of the time really managed. Pretending the player character was Jason Voorhees was a bonus (which I'm sure Namco less than slyly intended).
I also agree with you that Splatterhouse 2 is the best in the series (though the first is a legendary arcade game in its own right) It may just be my personal nostalgia talking but the gritty atmosphere, the incredible music, it's all just perfect.
By the way if you've never noticed, the first level is the burnt down remains of the house from the first game. At the end of which you discover... another hidden house.
I loved the Splatterhouse remake. Critics just didn't get what it was trying to be. It's a flawed gem. Also if it's your first game you still get all three original games with it and those are quite expensive these days if you want the original copies (and you get the uncensored arcade version of the original instead of the TG16 one). It's well worth the money any way you slice it.
Yes!!! I did the Jason Voorhees thing all the time!
And vise versa too: pretending that it was Rick in the movies!
Hard to compare between 2nd and third game, but the 3rd has a huge problem
with the way in-game music works. Plus, 2nd has way more of the memorable moments. So while i love both of them - i am with you on Splatter-2 for the win.
My mom owns the original Sega version of splatterhouse 3 well the Sega is the only version
I completely agree that the 2010 Splatterhouse remake got a bed rep. I really enjoyed it being a lifelong fan of the series since the original TurboGrafx-16. Fantastic video and thank you for doing it.
In Splatterhouse 3, there's another ending where Jennifer lives, but the boreworm has done so much damage that she becomes a mindless monster. That's my personal favourite - you can't get more bitter sweet than saving your girl, only to find she's brain dead!
As for Splatterhouse, I'm hoping that one day there will be a leak of the original remake being made by bottle rocket studios in 2007-2008 - apparently it was going to be much truer to the original games than the released remake was!
Juganawt Remember seeing a few screenshots of the original. I'm really happy with what came out in 2010 but I'd love to see more of the Bottlerocket game
idk about that, there's a reason they got canned. All I know is Dan Tovar was the driving force behind all the nods to the series, imo he did a great job.
Lorenzo S yeah the 2010 game was great but it seemed like the Bottlerocket version had alternate content, a non-Cel-shaded graphic style, and more bosses directly from the first 3 games. I'd love to see it get leaked one day!
Juganawt No that's only the screen if you don't save Jennifer in time. Which either leads to the worst ending or just Rick's son surviving
Saved the girl but brain dead huh....oh no Dom! Now I'm sad for Dom and Maria all over again. Gears of War Series for those who don't get it.
Sega's got what NINTENDON'T! That savage after he kills Jenny, just flippin LAUGHS at him. Cheeky little pig. Great overview of a great series, my man.
Excellent work Dan! I own the 2010 version of Splatterhouse. I really enjoyed it, just the loading times let it down, every time you died it would take forever to restart you off.
+Oliver Harper yeah i remember that. I hear the development team changed halfway which likely changed it from becoming a cult game
+Daniel Ibbertson (Slope's Game Room) It still is considered a modern cult game, sadly the franchise is buried probably never to return. Wish they would sell to Nintendo, or From Software!
@Lorenzo S Considering how Nintendo treated Namco I don't think you really want that.
Also the blue enemies are a Major pain xD
If you emulate it on PC nowadays the loading times are nearly non-existent, but ofc it has some other minor bugs due to being an imperfect emulation.
I love Jim Cummings. He is an amazing voice actor well known for voicing such characters like
Winnie the Pooh
Tigger
Bonkers
Darkwing Duck
Pete from the Mickey Mouse cartoons
Ray from Princess and the Frog
Dr. Robotnik in Sonic SATAM
Tasmanian Devil from Taz-mania
Steele from Balto
Ed from Lion King (as well as Scars singing voice at a certain part of the film)
Herman Cortes from Road to El Dorado
Captain of the Guards from Shrek
Zummi Gummi from Gummi Bears
Razoul and Cave of Wonders from Aladdin
Cat in CatDog
Chef Pisghetti; Jumpy Squirrel; Mister Quint from Curious George
Psycrow and Bob the Killer Goldfish from the Earthworm Jim Cartoon
Kaa the Snake from the Jungle Book 2 and other versions with Kaa
and MANY others
Leatherhead from TMNT.
Wasn't Robotnik voiced by Tim Curry
Didn't he also voice demchi from the cod zombie franchise??
"Damn Nintendo, YOU guys are the real monsters in this story."
*Switch add plays*
There is a fan movie to be made soon from an independent film director for Splatterhouse.
+Dean Andrews i thibk it may already be out im sure i remember watching it. (maybe it was a trailer)
@@slopesgameroom I saw a short clip with masked bodybuilder beating up zombies in a room covered in plastic sheeting. It was impressive on such a low budget, and I always wished they'd done more with it...
I’m already on it
Well this takes a dump on my little review of Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti. lol. Great vid as usual dude.
ahhhhh i loved your review
I know the feel. I did a 6 minute review of an old PC game called Boppin', and, there was not even a wiki page for the game. It just defaulted to the creator's wiki page, so, I gave up WAY too easily on research.
few weeks later, Ross's Gaming Dungeon does a 30+ minute review of the game, finding all the history and anecdotes and.... well... mine was rather pointless after that.
A review is not only about information.
I mean, it helps, sure! But it's also just as important to include your vision of the game and give an honest, objective opinion, based on your own perspective on the game as an adult and/or when you were younger.
This is the reason I watch all different kinds of reviews! Long reviews are not for everybody, so it's always good to have a big variety of reviews to watch, created by different people on the same game.
I liked your review!
No review is THE review! :)
Tony Vane
It's people like you that make it all worthwhile. Thank you very, very much. I appreciate knowing my work was well received. Need to do more scripted reviews and such... I had fun with those. .
Yeah the the message was meant for the both of you actually, but somehow it did not let me tag the both of you.
That is what it is about: Having fun! Do however you feel like to review. :)
Rob from West Mansion here. Excellent video! It was quite the comprehensive look at the series, and I loved how you turned the NEC comic book ad into a motion comic. Keep painting the walls red!
Love West Mansion, dude. Long live.
@@DefinitelyReagan it lives again. Not sure if you knew.
@@dire51 Hell yeah, dude!! That's excellent, made my day. Thank you!
@@DefinitelyReagan no problem! Go check it out when you have a minute. Added a ton of stuff in the last month.
hehheh
i got my copy of Splatterhouse 2010 signed by Jim Cummings
+SuperPrinnyDood thats amazing!
How did it happen?
Dude, nice!
Fuck yeah!
In cum
I started with Splatterhouse 3 as a kid. My aunt bought it for me and i gave it a whirl, scared the hell out of me. For years i couldn't even look at the box art. Tried to trade it in at funcoland but was only going to get a few cents for it, so i kept it. Tried to play it again, still horrified. I couldn't save David. David is my name! AAAAAGH! I hid the game at the bottom of a drawer so i wouldn't have it looking at me, but every so often it would turn up and I'd cover my eyes and hide it somewhere else.
Played it again as an adult, and it is pretty kickass. Its still gives me the creeps, the box art is still kinda scary but i really want to hunt down the reboot now! Great vid!
The mask in the 2010 game always sounds like Pete from Goof Troop to me, Yeah I know it's Jim Cummings :D
+Larry Bundy Jr i fucking loved that show :)
It's funnier to imagine SatAM Dr.Eggman is the mask
To Cinnamon Spring1991: You must mean Robotnik, since that's not Dr. Eggman at all. ;P
Casey Decker Ehhhh...Tomato Tamotoe He's named Julian Ivo Eggman in the Japanese dub
I thought it sounded more like Nega Duck from Dark wing Duck. Mostly cause of the chainsaw.
After he puts on the mask, the player character in the remake looks like John Cena.
I miss Splatterhouse :c
+Tanooki me too bro
We all do
I agree with you on this video 99.99 % . The 0.01 percent being postal 2. Freaking loved that game. I got sooo many hours of fun out of that one for some reason.
Admittedly some of that time was spent driving my cat completely crazy by putting a cat on my automatic rifle and holding the trigger. The cat would go mental every time , running all around and over my desk lol.
I thought the 2010 splatterhouse was a great game
Yeah I enjoyed it too.
Just the fact we also get all three Splatterhouse games with it as well make it amazing, even if you dislike the 2010 version.
I find the game's great, it's cheap and very worth it for any horror game fan imo.
Ditto
"so bad it`s ... bad" ... game is a piece of crap
Such an overlooked and underated game. Shame it got alot of hate when it was released and also ignored.
I think splatterhouse 2010 should have a remastered on ps4
+Hunter Dotson agreed
Hunter Dotson don't forget PC
Hunter Dotson or remake of splatterhouse 2
Hunter Dotson and xone
It should use the same graphics as it did back in 2010 if it were on PC in order to make people who can't afford top quality gaming PCs be able to play it thus allowing the company get more money
Man, Splatterhouse was released 30 goddamn years ago. Fun ultraviolent game back in the day.
At 19:46; there was a second house on the island that belonged to Dr West's assistant Dr Mueller which is where the second game takes place, complete with beginning at the spot where the original house burned down.
I played the TG16 version when I was 8 and couldn't believe what I was looking at. I, too, had nightmares from that game.
+chaospoet you and me both bud lol scary fucking game
Splatterhouse 2010 really did try. A number of the development team communicated with a dedicated group of Splatterhouse fans over at West Mansion. A shame it was panned so hard by reviewers. I'd like to see them take another crack at it with a 2.5D style in veins of the first two.
Postal 2 is great and not just just because of its gore but also its incredibly screwed up lowbrow humor & honestly impressively detailed and interactive (if segmented) open world. Not to mention it has some terrific social commentary as well.
***** yeah,... though with improved mechanics. XD
@@Kenshiro3rd
This will barely make sense but: the only thing wrong with Postal 2 was that it was a terrible first person shooter. In nearly every other respect, it was a good game.
What I mean is: it was obviously made with a lot of love and had a lot of great moments put into it but the folks at Running with Scissors clearly had no idea on how to craft a technically sound FPS. The weapons were either hideously underpowered or overpowered to the point where you could never use them without killing yourself; the engine just wasn't capable of rendering the massive play area like RWS envisioned so you had a bunch of tiny play areas split up by massive load times and to top it all off, the AI and level design were questionable at best.
Like I said: great game all round, except for the fact that it was a terrible first person shooter.
Such a fun game, the scenario of a skinny weakling turning into an absolute unit fueled by agony just to save his girl is awesome.
How good a game needs to be taken into context. Splatterhouse 2010, within the context of it being a reboot of a classic brawler that revels in gore, horror tropes and references... It's outstanding. I loved every second of it when I played it almost ten years ago.
When playing a survival horror game like this (or Corpse Party), it's best not to expect a happy ending.
+William Crowe agreed
Splatterhouse is one of the Grindhouse of videogames.
"'Oh No SaVe Me!' Rick, I think I hear your girlfriend! Let us go and rescue her!"
"Shut. Up."
[Evil Giggling]
You are spot on, the intro to Splatterhouse 2 is perfect.
I'm enjoying this "The Complete History" things you do, it's fun to learn more about the games than just the story it self. Great job!
I think the 80s was the time to be alive if you were a gamer. Hell.. It was a great fuckin decade overall! Trust me... My 41 yr old ass speaks from experience.
+Duke Togo i fucking lived the 90s mate
The 80s and 90s were mind blowing 🤯 when it came to video games 🎮 🕹 😳 I'm glad I got to experience the revolution of gaming.
Picked up the 2010 reboot sometime in '17, left it after the 8th level for four years for no good or bad reason, then a few days back I decided to go back to it, started it from scratch and just got done earning the Platinum trophy. Beat the original classics as well, which previously belonged to the category of games I started up and played for a bit before deciding to leave them for some other time. Gotta say, given the tumultuous development history of the reboot, it's a miracle the game ended up as good as it is and I don't regret spending my time with it or going for a Platinum, which I previously only did for two games.
Great video for an underrated series. Very well researched and had pretty outstanding editing!
As a big Splatterhouse fan myself who frequently refers this series to friends and any fans of survival horror, I rate them like this:
SP1: Creepiest and most memorable
SP2: Most fun and best 16-bit soundtrack
SP3: Most Challenging and best replay factor
SP2010: To new fans, it's a pretty good bloody beat em up. To old fans, amazing fanservice and best story.
+HAPPY PERSON i think you are pretty spot on with these readings my good sir
I personally think that 3 it's scarier. That screen when Jennifer becomes controlled for the first time by the boreworm is terrifying.
Lol! I have that comic center, I framed it as I found it in perfect condition.
The reason the house is present in the second game is because it's the former home of Dr West's assistant Dr Mueller, with the latter appearing as the zombified scientist that throws beakers at you in one level.
Oooooohhh. But how did Jennifer get there?
@@kidprime6863 her body and soul were imprisoned in a crystal in the realm of the dead, why Rick had to break the seal in the basement of the second Splatterhouse to free her.
I loved the comic book ad for Splatterhouse. It was because of seeing that as a kid that made me want to play the series so damn bad.
I didn't get to play the first game until I was a adult (via emulation of both the arcade and PC Engine versions) but I had a Genesis as a kid and I played 2 and 3 on there, and that was because I remember that ad so well. I even remember the comic book I bought, and the exact place and year I was where I got that comic book that had that ad in it. I know it was The Flash, I don't remember the issue or what the comic story was, but I was at the Ear.Nose and Throat specialist office as I have had ear problems when I was a kid. There is a small pharmacy in that building on the main floor right by the elevator, it was there that I got that comic book which had that ad for Splatterhouse. That building is still there and that pharmacy is still very much there, they just don't sell magazines or comics anymore and yes the specialist office still looks exactly the same as when I was a kid and I am now 35. Every time I go there I am flooded with memories, especially since it was my dad who took me there and he recently passed away, so it's hard for me to go there (but I have ear issues even as a adult so I have to go there still).
I'll never forger the night we rented out Splatterhouse 2...
Previously we'd only played the likes of Sonic, Aladdin and Bubsy, the one night it was "my turn" to pick the game from the video shop, and I couldn't resist that cover. We got it home and turned it on, and before I'd got to the second level my brother and two cousins were in crying hysterics. My dad had to take it back and change it for something else to calm everyone down (good old reliable/safe Bubsy again, I think).
That PS2 game definitely got a European release, by the way. 505 Gamestreet published it under the title of "Splatter Master".
And I usually can't stand those 3D beat-em-up sort of games, but Splatterhouse proved to be the exception to that rule.
I first heard about this series back in 2007 or something when the guy who played Captain S had a guest episode of Still Gaming where he reviewed Part 3. Years later I saw the retrospective made by the Happy Videogame Nerd (now Stop skeletons from fighting), which really made me interested in the series. And when the remake came out I picked it up and had a great time with it. As you said, it's a solid 7/10 game that could have used some more polish, but is still a lot of fun. Great video man. Keep it up .:-)
I wonder whatever happened to Captain S.
The famicom game was fun. I played that way later on emulation and it was a nice little discovery, being from the US. My first experience with Splatterhouse was the second one. It was mysterious back then with the lack of information. Seeing that it was a part 2. I had no idea about the arcade version or the port on turbo grafx. I rented the second one, probably several times, then eventually owned it. I beat it at the time but I think I skipped level 7 or something like that. Since it had passwords and the level gave me trouble. I managed to beat the final level on game master mode though, which only allows 2 hits before death. Really enjoyed that game.
The controls in 1 and 2 are floaty but you get used to it very quickly and then it feels tight. I was at babbages one day and saw splatterhouse 1 for turbografx. I had very few games for that system and I was amazed to see the elusive part 1 of this game. It was alot cheaper, maybe 30 dollars or so, compared to games being 50 or 60 back then.
I believe my faq on gamefaqs is the only one up for the first game. Havent checked in a while. Ive played through part 1 on mame and turbo. The turbo version is a very good port overall. The arcade version has better details in the levels.
Underrated classics to me. I never see them get much mention. Was great to see a detailed history on the games.
+TheConsole Killer im so glad u enjoyed the video buddy :) the splayterhouse games fully deserved a long in depth video which thankfully i was able to provide.
Huge respect on the gamefaq mate :) #Dedication
Your channel is awesome. Just discovered it. Will be watching them all. Really appreciate the detail you put into each one. Appreciate that. It was the only faq I made as far as I can remember. A simple enough game to explain. 1 and 2 are definately classics to me. Keep it up
Huge thanks mate :) and yes I 100% will, love doing this!
Look forward to that
10:35 Heh, Nelson's laugh fits that Top-Heavy to a T in that situation!
Splatterhouse is what got me to sell off my original NES to buy a TurboGrafx 16. Loved it! For me, the music really enhanced the experience.
lmao You're Charles Bronson in.... Death Wish 3 xDDD Good times, good times!
Postal 2 is not just gore, but Mayhem. Its stupid fun.
This series is so criminally underrated, I love all the games! Splatterhouse 3 is my favorite because it was the first one I played and I played it when I was 10. It fucked me up as a kid, and now I can't get enough of this series! I also had Splatterhouse 2 back then as well, they're all terrific!
That was superb I really enjoyed this. Thank you for making this video on the history of one of my all time favorite video game series of all time. I hope this series gets some new games in the future.
Man you're really pumping these videos out :-) really enjoy watching them when you do
+N64 Glenn Plant thanks buddy :) time 4 a shorter vid next time me thinks
I have been seriously meaning to play these! Need to get on this
You defo should bud. Brilliant franchise
For me, Splatterhouse 3 is the best entry in the series, the art, music and gameplay are all amazing. It was quite eerie.
I first played Splatterhouse 1 on arcade in the 80s. It was a mind blowing experience. I made a terror mask out of candle wax to honor Splatterhouse. Splatterhouse 2 came out and I got to play it then a couple years later part 3 came out. It was an exciting time! I collected a few game systems and had all 3 Splatterhouse games. It was dead silent for a couple of decades then the new Splatterhouse came out on PS3. I bought the PS3 version and played it with my son who had already played all 3 games that I had collected. Splatterhouse has always been a part of my life. I'm glad I'm not one of those people who have never heard of it.
You over simplified the Nintendo vs Namco feud. Allot of hit had to do with Tengen. Tengen (which was Atari Games, the used the name because they couldn't release their games under the Atari name as Jack Traimel had that right with Atari Corp) because Namco owned Atari Games at the time. They went about circumventing the 10NES Lockout chip and released games without the license. Well Nintendo won in court eventually and when it came time for Namco to resign the license agreement with Nintendo, allot of the special provisions that Nintendo once gave them for being the first 3rd party to sign with them were now off the table as punishment for that whole fiasco. Watch Game Historian's video on the subject as he did a really good job explaining it all there.
seeing the commercial for the tg16 splatterhouse made me want the game so bad.
+hollywood21639 hahaha i know its awesome
There were two houses. The first one burned down at the end of the first game, which is where the work and research of the other scientists took place. The second house from the second game was the private mansion of Dr West.
Complete with west himself appearing as a zombie in one level, with the option to either kill him with a punch or burn him to cinders with a potassium bomb.
Also its worth mentioning that while Splatterhouse 2010 is a great adaptation of the original games and paying respect to many of the series inspirations it has a much more Grindhouse look and feel to it. The nudity (revealed by collecting the pieces of the photos) and the fact that the mask actually rewards you for finishing your enemies in the most violent way possible (blood is power for the mask and exp for Rick) which unlocks more powers and abilities through the Terror Mask and also feeding your rage mode/abilities thereby making it easier to kill your victims.
This is a great episode. *Kudos to you and many thanks.*
+FPietros ahhhhhh cheers bud
I also like 2010 Splatterhouse and think it was unfairly trashed.
The remake of Splatterhouse final boss is reminiscent of the short story, The Call of Cthulhu. It's a second reference to HP Lovecraft that becomes obvious outside of the Reanimator. Also, when I saw stage 4 of Splatterhouse I, I immediately thought about that reverend and the ghostly children damned to eternity with him from Poltergeist 2.
I thought i heard Illbleed music starting at 3:54, but when i saw the actual footage of Illbleed, I had the biggest smile on my face. Illbleed is one of my favorite games ever made and it's criminally overlooked! I'm really glad it got used here!
The part where Ricks reflection comes out the mirror was influenced by Evil Dead 2 im sure.
Along with the idea of the main character's girlfriend turning into a monster they have to fight, ash had the same rotten luck in Evil Dead 2.

Postal 2 being forgettable ? Postal 2 is fun as hell, man.
Awesome work. The opening of the 3rd one gave me nightmares, and i was scared to sleep alone as a kid.
Been a fan of Splatterhouse for years, not sure why it took me this long to come across your video, but im glad I did. Thanks!
I never realised that the originals were on the 2010 remake! I avoided it as the reviews wet so bad, but I loved and still own Splatterhouse 2. I'm getting the PS3 2010 game right now!
You like it?

Haunted Mansion!!! Atari 2600!!!
I love the Reboot of Splatterhouse. Great story, good game play, great acting.
A very good history on the franchise. I remember discovering Splatterhouse in arcades back in the day. I had never seen a game as gory up til that point and it was awesome. I love this game and it was cool cause I thought, as a kid, you were playing as Jason. It should be worth mentioning that the 2010 game also has the original arcade port and ports of part 2 and 3 as unlockables, which adds more replay value. You've earned a new sub and liked.
Nice mate and thank you for the feature in your vid 👍
MORE THAN WELCOME :) An absolute pleasure gebs :)
Snap Jen ;)
Thanks Dan, that was fun...
Cheers Dan 😊🤘
Amazing Gaming History lesson ; games are more than interactive entertainment IMO Games are Art a careful blending of so many Artistic Discipline when one considers the limitation of the Hardware :G
+Philippe Nyatsiko we think alike u and i :D
Daniel Ibbertson Thank you 4 replying I was blown away by ur knowledge and expertise, sure call me a proud fanboy if you must i ain't loosing no sleep over all the trolling i get
The FC Splatterhouse could've been a prequel... assuming Rick and Jennifer were child actors.
I so loved the Splatterhouse games back in the day, so much from!!! Glad to see it hasn't been forgotten:) I am a long time fan of this game, so wish they would do another!:)
These complete history videos always get me hyped for games I already knew about but wasn't really interested in before
Woohoo! Looking forward to this :) thanks for the guest spot.
I was so excited to see your name attached to this video! It's like a fanboy's dream! Thanks!
+Kim Justice thanks for being a part of this kim
+HellBound ahhhhhh diuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
Kim Justice we love ya...
Thank you, I've just been introduced and have subscribed to another quality gaming channel! Had never heard of your channel before this. Sweet. I probably have too much respect for you guys. Is it weird for video games to be important to a person? Cuz they are to me. Keep up the great work! It just wouldn't do for future generations to miss out on or forget such interesting pieces of history just because it's history of entertainment instead of records of wars and political power shifts.
The Nelson laugh... nice touch. Lol
glad to see someone else appreciating the fun that the ps3/360 splatterhouse had to offer. Rough around the edges but it made up with charm and character!
Fantastic video, Slope!
Splatterhouse is obscenely underappreciated these days and I just love this series! Never owned a TG16 so I don't have a copy of the first game but I definitely have 2 and 3 for Genesis. You said you gave yourself nightmares playing Splatterhouse as a kid... I did the same after witnessing the cut-scenes of the digitized actors in the third game while home alone at night. The scene you get if you let Jennifer succumb to the boreworm... oh my god, that haunted me for ages.
I'm of the opinion that people who hated the 2010 remake just weren't fans of the series or even knew what it was to begin with. It was a game for fans, by fans. It wasn't something you could judge by modern standards, it played to nostalgic sensibilities of ultra-violent games from the late-80s/early-90s. I'm just sad it ended with an opening for a sequel that'll pretty much never happen.
+Alan Rizkallah (Yinz Gamerz) yeah its a shame we will never get to see a sequel to the 2010 game. I really enjoyed it
With that Nintendo story, no wonder they are having a rough time now with other developers publishing on their systems. I guess hubris does not pay off in the long run.
What they did in their heyday is now coming back to them and biting right at their bum.
+radiak55 hahaha if thats the case no one would ever employ sega again lol
Daniel Ibbertson At this point, no company is out of their fair share of shadiness.
Here is to just great products from here on out.
radiak55 Nintendo for all their faults is still near the top in terms of the stability, many of the Japanese and American 3rd parties who were on top near the end of the NES are dead. As Nintendo got a decent boost off Wii (which they still have hand over and fist money from) 3DS (as they sold it on a profit) and now pokemon go along with Mario run (stupid if you think it won't make tons of money). Overall Nintendo is doing well
I call it karma.
splatterhouse 3 was the first one i played as a kid (im currently 28) and this game scared the hell out of me. I love the style. It is my favorite of all the splatterhouse games
Splatter House 2 is the greatest 16 bit game ever made and one of the greatest games ever made. I think the remake is highly underrated.
The new splatter house is a fantastic game. Include all the classic ones and it's an unbeatable package.
+mrdante361 i fully agree
mrdante361 yes it is. it's not perfect but s damn good beat em up with a really good story.
do a desert/jungle/urban strike complete history
this game fucked me up when I was little... still remember "Jennifer is a mindless beast"
Great video... thank you for the overview of the series. I first saw this in the -arcade- of all places! I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I don't know why my local arcade had this one, actually, but I'm glad it did. Anyway nice to know our friend Rick and his sometimes alive girlfriend are remembered.
Actually the house is still burnt down the house you go to in two is a lake house that the Mad Doctor went to through the elevator kinda of weird but hey that how it goes I guess
+MP2066 yep,i fully missed that lol
Yeah cool to know that the mad man had a back up house kinda wish the Reboot got a Sequel to fix most of the problems and continue the story oh well great channel by the way
'Games today like Postal 2...' C'mon man.
it was released in 2003 so the nowadays came from his ass
Great video. Loved the comprehensive history of this videogame. Congratulations for the in depth showcase. Keep up with the good work.
Been a fan of this series from the early TG-16 days. Awesome video. Also nice to see I wasn't the only one who liked the remake despite its flaws. Considering it's horrendous production history the fact it's playable at all is amazing. Then it's just great fun, a great remake homage of references and the 3 originals and I'll never understand the hate. Now where is the movie!
i wouldn't even say this is a complete history, especially of the 2010 remake.
no mention of the previous developer, Bottlerocket, and the shakedown at Namco that led them to switch teams with the people who made the Afro Samurai game.
no mention of the tons of cut content within the remake, which you can literally just search up with "splatterhouse cut content" and get tons of audio, animations, concept art and even entire levels and bosses just cut and yet still in the files and code of the game.
the only thing that REALLY caught me off guard was the fact the guy who help make Klonoa pretty much helped make goddamn Splatterhouse.
not a bad video.
"Shelly" looks ALOT like Clarissa explains it all.......
John Smith you do realize that WAS a picture of Clarissa?
Rountree1985
Do you want to get wooshed?
Thank for make this complete tribute to this game, In my early years I become to play Splatterhouse 2 just for make fun of the bizarre game, but hours later I felt in love with this game. Years ago when internet wasnt exist this game was just a dark jewel, but now people can know about it thanks to people like you., Thanks Daniel Ibbertson, you ve earned a suscriber and a Like. Cheers from Argentina!
+Leandro E Sanchez you are more than welcome buddy :) im glad you enjoy it so much :D thanks 4 subbing
I want a game that mixes the original's one-hit-kill gameplay with the structure of Splatterhouse 3, but with a randomly generated map layout on top. The Binding of Isaac (which arguably is kind of Splatterhousey in its own right) meets side-scrolling brawler.
The fact you never mentioned HP Lovecraft makes this incomplete that 99 % of the story
Babarian below average? I have to disagree! Ok you could not beat it, but the two player mode was fun.
Excellent video on a series that sits in that weird space where everyone pretty much knows it, but it's also quite underrated, possibly because it's easy to dismiss it as style over substance without giving the games a good play and getting to grips with what's actually on offer.
I'm hardly impressionable when it comes to gore, but Rick's guts coming out of his body in the Splatterhouse 2010 intro really made me want that game
