I may be in the minority here, but I would really hope that they make it a side scroller like the original. I loved the original game (got the coin-op) and the Genesis sequel, but didn't like the 3rd version on the Genesis. You could could just run circles around the monsters and easily dispatch them with a few cheap shots.

I'm looking for anything (Software related, promo stuff, fan material etc....and I'm still looking for a Splatterhouse marquee). So I'm really looking forward to this new project.
