As if there weren’t enough reasons to love Namco Bandai’s upcoming reboot of the Splatterhouse franchise, Official Playstation Magazine just gave us three more…the original game trilogy will come with the game as an unlockable bonus!  More after the break!

According to Destructoid, details in the current issue of Official Playstation Magazine state that the forthcoming Splatterhouse will come with the original uncensored Japanese arcade version of the first game as opposed to the still-awesome but slightly neutered TurboGrafx 16 port, as well as Splatterhouse 2 and 3 as they appeared on the Sega Genesis.  This is not going to be a “preorder bonus” or an extra DLC pack, but a true unlockable bonus on the disc. 

The thought of chainsawing demonic fetuses and bashing flesh-eating worms with a two-by-four has me absolutely giddy with nostalgic anticipation.  I think I need to go lie down now.

Splatterhouse will be released in September on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
