With these reproductions, often the title is shortened to simply ‘Splatterhouse.’ This review is for the NES reproduction cartridge, Splatterhouse. Today, however, Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti has been translated and placed on to reproduction cartridges for play on NES consoles. Additionally, the game had many references to American horror movies, and perhaps there was a fear that copyright infringement might have been an issue in the U.S. translation and release was because of the game’s numerous depictions of religious iconography – something Nintendo of America had a strict policy against. Perhaps one reason the game never received a U.S. It uses a super-deformed art style on its characters, and unlike the original horror-themed arcade Splatterhouse, Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti took a hybrid horror/comedy approach, and often parodies 1980’s horror movies. It is a sequel/re-make/parody of the original arcade game, Splatterhouse.

Quick History: Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti was released in Japan in 1989 for the Famicom (Japanese NES). The NES 101 was modified to output in AV (red, yellow, white), and was connected to a 32-inch HD tv. Note 2: This game was played on a NES 101 console. Note 1: Like platforming/action games?
