Splatterhouse
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1989
About this game
Wanpaku Graffiti is the first Splatterhouse game to appear on a home console.
It is not clear how it fits in the series' timeline, but it starts with Jennifer mourning over Rick's grave (her boyfriend).

Lightning strikes his grave and he is resurrected.
Before she can rejoice, another bolt strikes the grave next to him and a jack-o-lantern appears.
This pumpkin king kidnaps Jennifer and Rick barely has the time to wipe off the dust from his clothes before he sets off to rescue his girlfriend.
Although the game is not as gory as the other titles, there is still plenty of disturbing enemies such as headless chickens, severed hands and zombies.
Through seven side-scrolling levels, including a graveyard, a mansion, a Japanese pagoda and an Egyptian pyramid, you chase the pumpkin king with your cleaver and a shotgun you can pick up along the road.
Just like the other games in the series, there are lots of movie references.
The game often needs good timing and pixel perfect jumps, as falling down from platforms will regenerate the enemies.
You can pick up candy, hamburgers and cans of soda to restore your health.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Splatterhouse for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Splatterhouse to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Splatterhouse has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
