splatterhouse TV commercial - perfect for halloween

[GameFreak]

Here is the original U.S. T.V. commercial ad for splatterhouse on TG16. I just found it. I thought it was pretty cool as I love the game. I never saw this back in the day. It is not my video but here is a youtube link to the commercial......   

I also just noticed same youtube user has the Japanese commercial for Splatterhouse slightly different. not sure which is creepier the U.S. or Japanese version commercial. Here is link to japanese commercial...  
Copy and paste this link for Japanese version...or just click...

Great ad.  It's probably the only Turbob ad that didn't have preppy douchebags with forced smiles.

[Sparky]

yes that was very good and one of my fav games.... i love you splatterhouse  :oops:

[Mathius]

Now if all of NECs adds back then were that cool the Turbo might have had better luck in NA.

Love Splatterhouse to this day. I remember how edgy it was when it released too...such a cool game to shock people with back in the day LOL.


As for the ads that the Turbo had:

1. Tons of places in the country never seemed to even see them run, while Genesis ads were plenty
2. Most were horribly cheesy


Also the box art for the US were generally pretty lame...they should have just ported the box art from Japan.

Nostalgia and the fact that its well made, makes it my favorite TG-16 commercial.

I didn't know that the TG-16 even existed until about a year after the genesis, the lack of advertisement and the 8bit thing,which didn't work on me....because I'm not retarded, really hurt the system in the US.

I just found the japanese version commercial of Splatterhouse from same youtube user. I put the link in the top of page in my first post. Check it out. Which one do you think is better? US or Japanese version?

Japan version link here...

I'll take the US version.  It has an appropriately dark and spooky vibe, rather than just weird like the PCE version.  I mean, why is there a little girl and why is she wearing the Terror Mask?

[turbogrfxfan]

I liked em both the same.  In the japanese ver. you get to see the game more but the us was more bad ass.  either way Im greatful for u putting it up.  Its def one of my favorite games of all times.  I gotta play it this week!!

I cleared Splatterhouse this month for exactly the occasion 

Happy Halloween!!

[Mathius]

Splatterhouse was my second "clear" for the PCE. I like the US commercial more though. It has that 80s vibe to it that I enjoy.

[blueraven]

Definitely one of the more grim/bad-ass video game commercials I remember from childhood.

[Tatsujin]

The US one shows almost NO game and the terror mask is a red leather gimp mask. How can that be better?

[GameFreak]

I thought it was a red mask in U.S. and a white one in Japan because of copyright problems with "Jason" in Friday the 13th, they thought by porting it with a red mask to U.S. they would be protected from getting sued.
