Splattehouse (Nintendo NES) This is a Japanese to English translation of Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti originally a Japanese executive. While the Splatterhouse series is known fo r its grisly violence and detailed viscera, shortly after the first game’s release, the series already took things into a surprising new direction. Dispensing with gritty horror and shifting more into creepy cuteness, Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti on the Famicom was already going to have to be a step back in graphical quality from its arcade forebear, so the NES appropriate chibi sprites and silly monsters was probably the smarter move than trying to pare down the detail that made the first Splatterhouse so popular. However, since it was believed that American audiences didn’t quite click with cute content back in the 1980s, Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti never received an official overseas release until it was included in Namco Museum Archives Vol. 1 compilation in 2020. Perhaps the strangest thing about this departure in tone from the mostly dark and bloody main series games though is that Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti is possibly the best game in the entire Splatterhouse series. -Genre: Action Adventure, Platformer. -Region: NTSC, USA. -Works on all North American Nintendo Entertainment Systems with no modification needed. -May not be compatible with Retron 5 Hardware.
