‘Little Nightmares’, ‘Luigi’s Mansion’ Remake Announced at Nintendo Direct
Nintendo had one of their Nintendo Direct streams on Friday, and it’s good news for genre fans hungry for more horror games on the Switch (and in one case, the 3DS). And yeah, they’re all ports, but if they’re anything like the quality of Bethesda’s port of DOOM, does it matter?
For starters, we already know about the Dark Souls remaster set for May 25th, but Nintendo’s gone the extra mile and announced that the game will be getting a free Network Test before launch sometime this year. This allows everyone to try the game out, as well as check the online functionality. In addition, Nintendo will be releasing a Solaire Amiibo, which will give you will the “Praise the Sun” gesture when you use it.
As for the rest of the ports, fans can look forward to a GameCube launch title, 2001’s Luigi’s Mansion, getting a full remake for the 3DS, and set for release later this year. This new version will also come with a Boss Rush mode and 3DS specific features. Yeah, I know. It’s a Nintendo (read: kid-friendly) title that isn’t the horror most older fans expect, but dammit, it’s Luigi!
Finally, on to more recent (and creepier) fare with Little Nightmares: Complete Edition, which will head to the Switch on May 18th, complete with all of the DLC. Plus, if you Amiibo collector’s have the Pac-Man Amiibo, you’ll be able to snag an exclusive outfit when you use it with the game.
For the other non-horror news (because hey, it’s Nintendo), Newsweek have a rundown here.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
