Splatterhouse re-emerges

Early this year Namco Bandai yanked the remake of classic coin-op {Splatterhouse} from the original developer Bottlerocket Entertainment and handed it to their own internal team (responsible for {Afro Samurai}). Originally due out this year, the game was given more time in development and now Namco Bandai have sent out a bunch of fresh assets while confirming the game for release in Europe in 2010.

It certainly seems like Namco Bandai have beefed Rick up a bit and made everything look slimy.
