The House of the Dead is a long-running series from SEGA’s beloved arcade team AM2. The original game sees AMS agents Thomas Rogan and ‘G’ set off to the Curien Mansion, after Rogan’s fiance Sophie warns them that the research team based there are being murdered. Sure enough, the duo arrive just in time to see a creature (the original development team insist they’re not zombies) eating a researcher’s face, and so they get to work trying to find the cause of all the bloodshed. The setup is exactly the same for this remake as you’d probably expect.
Boxed copies of The House of the Dead Remake are now open for pre-order through Forever Limited. The game is available in 3 editions: a standard unlimited edition, a limited edition and an exclusive edition.
The unlimited edition includes a sticker and a numbered certificate. The limited edition is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide and includes a collector’s box, a metal case, enamel pins, cleaning cloth, sticker and numbered certificate. The exclusive edition is limited to 500 pieces worldwide and comes with a collector’s box with lenticular screen, a statue of the Magician boss, sticker and numbered certificate.

Development duties on the collection is being handled by BlissBrain. What’s strange is that the information on the BlissBrain site and ININ site actually pictures the arcade versions of Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy in Monster Land, so it is currently not clear if the collection features the Master System versions, the arcade versions or both.
The Wonder Boy Collection will be published digitally by BlissBrain and ININ and physically by Strictly Limited Games. Pre-orders for the collection from Strictly Limited games will go live “soon”. There is currently no word on a firm release date for the collection. All titles in the collection are officially under license from SEGA.
