Namco Museum is hitting right at that mark in the Summer too, where things start to get a little… dull for video game fans. Especially those who might be looking for something to supplement Nintendo’s big first-party releases this Summer. You have a really nice set for Switch owners here, when you throw in the rest, which are pretty much all arcade classics. I don’t think the latter two are even on the Wii U’s VC, though I might be wrong. And honestly, they’re games that you just don’t see reprinted all that much. Heck, Splatterhouse and the Rolling Thunders alone are fantastic additions.

I know it’s not the heaviest of load outs in terms of games, but it’s not bad either. They’re all classics too, and some of them are most welcome indeed.

Not only do you get the above, but a 9-pack of additional games. Pac-Man aside, even though it’s the collection’s bread and butter, this is a pretty nice set. ROLLING THUNDER™, ROLLING THUNDER 2™, SPLATTERHOUSE™, TANK FORCE™.Did you know that the Switch was about to get an infusion of Namco classics? Well, it is, and Pac-Man vs will be included in the deal. The famous arcades are back as NAMCO MUSEUM arrives exclusively on the Nintendo Switch in Summer 2017! It will include PAC-MAN™, DIG DUG™, THE TOWER OF DRUAGA™, SKYKID™, GALAGA™, GALAGA ’88 ™. Enjoy Namco classics such as PAC-MAN, GALAGA, SPLATTERHOUSE, and TOWER OF DRUAGA, or play games such as ROLLING THUNDER, SKYKID, or TANK FORCE with friends and family on the Nintendo. NAMCO MUSEUM – Announcement Trailer | Nintendo Switch You can catch a glimpse of Splatterhouse from 0:18-0:21 in the Namco Museum trailer below. It will arrive on the Switch on July 28 for $29.99, and can be pre-ordered over on Nintendo’s official website. Splatterhouse will be included in the upcoming Namco Museum compilation, which will include other classic games from Namco’s back-catalogue including Pac-Man, SkyKid, Tank Force and The Tower of Druaga. It proved to be such a hit that it was followed by a bunch of sequels and an ultraviolent remake in 2010 (which included the original game as a bonus feature). Originally released in arcades in 1988 before coming to PC and TurboGrafx-16 the following year with an early content advisory warning (the ESRB wasn’t formed until 1994), Namco’s Splatterhouse featured a hockey mask-wearing Jason Voorhees lookalike named Rick as he searches for his girlfriend across the accursed West Mansion.
