WHAT'S NEW
3/10/2010 - 9:08 P.M. EST (latest update today) - Thanks to PrimeOp, I now have a link to the video of the 1993 Violence In Video Games Senate Hearing. I have transcribed the part about Splatterhouse 3 and posted it, along with the link to the video (and corresponding times) in the Trivia section.
1/18/2010 - 12:45 A.M. EST (latest update today) - Happy New Year, all. Sorry about the lack of updates, but I'll be honest with you guys: I'm sick. I don't mean that I have a cold or anything like that, but rather a serious medical condition - serious enough that I've been out on medical leave from my job since November. But I am getting better. I can't promise that the frequency of updates will increase, but rest assurred that I am still here and that I plan to pick up where I left off, even if it means putting stuff up a little bit at a time.
Of course, we all know that 2010 is the year we've been waiting for since May of 2008, when EGM first broke the news about the upcoming Splatterhouse reboot. I am still in contact with Namco Bandai, so expect all news as it reaches me. Last I heard, Splatterhouse is still on track for a Q3 release this year. However, in recent news apparently some pirate jackass is selling a beta copy of the game for $675. Namco Bandai has yet to make a statement to the press regarding this, so we can't be certain as to which beta this is, the BottleRocket or Namco version, at the moment. However, I'd be willing to bet that it's a beta of the BottleRocket version that was somehow "overlooked" by someone at BottleRocket when Namco Bandai went to their HQ to reclaim all of their Splatterhouse stuff last year.
It's one thing when prototypes turn up years after the fact, but this kind of dickery is just asking for trouble. Personally, I hope Namco Bandai nails this bastard's hide to the wall. Whoever he is, he's facing five years in jail and a fine of $250,000. It's pretty obvious what he's going to need that $675 for: bail money.
That's about it right now. Read more on this as it develops over on the forum, and expect more updates here - even if they are infrequent - as the year goes on.
