Play Splatter House - Wanpaku Graffiti (japan) Online

Splatter House: Wanpaku Graffiti came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989, published by Namco. It was a strange release for the NES, a console known for more family friendly titles, offering a cartoony take on the horror themes of its arcade predecessor. This version stands apart from the grittier original, presenting its spooky adventure with a lighter, almost parody like visual style.

You control Rick, a young man who dons a mysterious mask to gain the strength needed to rescue his girlfriend from a mansion full of monsters. The game is a side scrolling platformer where you move from screen to screen, punching and kicking a bestiary of zombies and other creatures. Your main goal is to fight through the mansion's many rooms, defeating larger monsters that guard key items needed to progress. Signature mechanics include finding and using temporary weapons like knives and torches, and navigating environmental hazards like disappearing platforms and tricky jumps. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, with limited continues testing your persistence. Playing it feels like a brisk, challenging romp through a haunted house cartoon.
