The Virtual Console is really starting to heat up! We can't believe it, but it looks like American and European fanboys are going to get a great game before Japan does: Namco's gory Turbografx-16 brawler Splatterhouse. This is definitely one of the three best games ever about a masked parapsychology major trapped in a haunted mansion and forced to destroy lots of disgusting monsters with a board, and it's coming sometime in March!We're also getting Double Dungeons-- but as Turbografx-16 lovers, we're trying to put a positive spin on this news article, and would prefer to talk more about Splatterhouse.
What Turbografx-16 games are you waiting for? We're dying for Blazing Lazers and China Warrior ourselves.

Holy Crap! I've wanted to play this game for over a decade. I remember when I was a kid watching in awe as some other kid played this in an arcade. My turn never came up and by the time I returned, it was gone.
Please tell me this is the bloody non censored version!

Really? Splatterhouse? Great game? I really hated this game. I even beat it on the first try and I was so excited to play when it first came out. There was a Turbo Grafx 16 game though that i did love... I can't believe I forgot the name. It was a ninja game where you can jump extremely high and you had a weapon that spins... I know that's a vague description but I'm looking forward to when that comes to VC. I'll remember the name of it eventually.

Oh man Ninja Spirit. Ninja Spirit is AWESOME.
And Devil's Crush is one of the best games ever. I LOVE the Wii Fanboy Turbo crew.

Legendary Axe was constantly pitted against Golden Axe during the launch season. It kind of pales in comparison.
I still like it okay. It's got that same 'power charging bar' thing that the Valis games have.

I hope they can put some of the CD games on VC. I've always like Ys Book I & II
