I don't know if they'll ever be relevant again as a company, but it's good to see Atari founder Nolan Bushnell back where he belongs. It's as if all is right with the world again.

According to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5512942/new-splatterhouse-also-throws-in-the-original-16+bit-trilogy), the upcoming Splatterhouse game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will include the "uncensored Japanese" arcade version of the original Splatterhouse and the Sega Genesis versions of Splatterhouse 2 & 3.
I'm just glad to see these are being included in the full version of the game, not as promotional DLC or a preorder bonus (I'm lookin at you, EA). I was - and am - pretty skeptical about the quality of the new release, but I'll most likely give it a chance now.
Splatterhouse is expected to be releasedby Namco Bandai in Fall 2010
