Splatterhouse was released in various home version ports on the Turbografx-16, NEC PC-Engine and FM Towns Marty. The TG-16 version was also released on the Wii Virtual Console in Europe on March 16, 2007 and in North America three days later on March 19, 2007.

Though the PC-Engine version of the game remains largely unedited, the Turbografx-16 version features a number of changes as well as standard changes for an arcade port at the time, caused by the less-powerful hardware of the console (loss of graphical detail, removal of some sounds). They include the following:

* The introduction cut scene is shortened and Jennifer's scream is removed totally.
* The Terror Mask is changed from a white hockey mask to a red mask with black accents. This is to keep Rick from looking too much like Jason Voorhees, and the mask became more skull-like in later games.
* The first weapon in Stage 1 is changed from a meat cleaver to a 2x4.
* A general toning down of violence and gore. (Less blood comes from enemies when they are smashed against walls, for instance.) The gruesome sound effects were also toned down.
* All references to the Stage 4 boss area being a church are removed, including the altar.
* The cross boss of Stage 4 is totally replaced with a new enemy, "Evil Sleep", and his heads renamed "The Nightmares" (only three of the original six in the arcade game are present) and the weapon for the boss is changed from an axe to a gold meat cleaver, the only cleaver in the game.
* The final boss uses different attacks.
* The final boss grave is changed from a wooden cross to a tombstone.
* The end cut scene is changed from the original arcade ending, in which the mask breaks from Rick's face, followed by a shot of him walking away from the burning mansion and an additional cut scene showing the mask reform and laugh. The ending in the Turbografx-16 version only shows the Mask explode, followed by a picture of West Mansion burning while the credits roll, and finally a large red and orange "End" is displayed.

The version of the game ported to the Wii Virtual Console is the Turbografx-16 port; therefore it is the "censored" version as opposed to the "uncensored" original arcade game.

teil zwei für snes ist gar nicht, weils ganz eifach für snes keinen zweiten teil gibt. aber fürs MD gibt es teil 2 und 3. teil zwei find ich noch recht OK, teil 3 driftet dan zu fest ins beat'em up genre rüber und verliert somit den restliche scharm des urspiels.

coole Sache!

Ich habs auch hier. Hat mir Yamazaki damals gleich zusammen mit der Konsole besorgt. Muss aber zugeben, dass es mir fast schon zu schwer ist

Der zweite Teil für das MD ist auch eher ein Remake der originalen Fassung, aber auch schlechter als die PC-Engine Portierung aus der Spielhalle. Teil 3, na ja. Da greift man eher zu Streets of Rage II.
