One of the most iconic rail shooters of the 1990’s is getting an unexpected revival and reboot, as Forever Entertainment SA and Megapixel Studio SA have announced the House of the Dead remake — and it comes to the Nintendo Switch platform pretty soon!

Courtesy of Nintendo.com, here’s an overview of the game and what to expect from it.

The House of the Dead: Remake is a remade version of the game introduced in 1997 in arcade platform. A classic arcade rail-shooter receives a whole new entourage and gameplay changes to suit modern gaming standards.

Key Features

  • Hordes of the undead monstrosities in a fast-paced rail-shooter.

  • True to the original gameplay.

  • Well know arcade classic with modern graphics and controls.

  • Multiple endings.

  • Up to two players.

Based on the 1996 game that was first released by SEGA in arcades, The House of the Dead is a two-player game that sees players fight hordes of zombies and monsters using guns, with the story unfolding through chapters as you beat down enemies through a linear path and progress through after defeating them. It’s basically Time Crisis meets Resident Evil, and like the latter game this helped popularize the zombie and horror themed video game genres of that gaming generation.

Speaking of horror themed games, Resident Evil’s newest installment RE Village has new screenshots up — including a portrait of one ofthe antagonists of the game Mother Miranda.
