Some information about The House of the Dead: Remake on Nintendo Switch

The visit to Doctor Curien’s mansion is still scheduled for this Thursday on the eShop (April 07, 2022). We also remind you that for the most patient, a physical version “Limidead” will be offered by Microids! (We’re just talking about it here)

On the sidelines of its release, we learned some information about this title which made the heyday of the Saturn (and arcades!)

Here is the summary

• In terms of controls, it will be possible to aim with the stick or by using motion detection. It will also be possible to combine the two. It will also be possible to play with the Pro controller (even if the use of the gyroscope with it will probably be less practical). On Nintendo Switch Lite, motion detection will not be possible (necessarily). Obviously, there will be several options to properly configure the motion detection (aiming aid, sensitivity, inversion of the X/Y axes, etc.)
• The game will feature brand new English dubbing and will be subtitled in 9 languages.
• For the moment, the game is only planned for Nintendo Switch.
• It will be possible to play 2 in co-op (10 credits to share and the points will be shared), or competitively (each player will have 10 credits and the points will be individual)
• If you lose the 10 credits, you can buy a new one using 5000 points.
• There will be a list of achievements.
• The secret codes will be part of it (probably for the choice of level, the color of the blood, the infinite lives, as in “the time”).
• There will be a gallery with all the monsters (including their name, description and their weak point).
• There will be a Horde mode (adding 15 times more monsters).
• Of course, there will be a story mode.
• Two ways to get the best scores (Classic where the points will be counted as in the original version of the game or modern, with a new point counting system, which will allow you to take advantage of multipliers).
• 4 levels of difficulty are on the program (Easy, Normal, Hard, Arcade).
• An armory will be available and will offer weapons to unlock.
• There will be multiple endings (3 endings taken from the original game).
• There will be a “performance” mode (in a slightly more FPS style).
• There will be rankings with statistics.
• It will still be possible to recover first aid kits (to recover energy) by destroying elements of the decor or by saving scientists.
• We can even take advantage of a photo mode, to “immortalize” the most dreadful encounters…
• Once the game is over, it is possible to unlock a “CowBoy mode” which will allow you to blast zombies armed with two joy-cons – And therefore to use two weapons at the same time!

While waiting to be able to explode the gallery of monsters in the game, we invite you to review the latest trailer! There are a few of us here waiting for this Remake… And you?
