Namco Bandai's Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 revival of horror-action classic Splatterhouse has been pushed back to an "early 2010" release, the company told Siliconera.

"This will give us time to polish and incorporate all the content to deliver a top notch game worthy of this classic video game franchise," Namco later explained to Joystiq.

The action game was originally being developed by external studio BottleRocket, with Namco pulling the team off the project earlier this year over an alleged "performance issue." BottleRocket then fired back, claiming it had not missed any "contractually defined milestones" and suggesting "Namco's management of the title was inept."

Splatterhouse is now being developed by Namco's internal Afro Samurai team, with the company having contracted some BottleRocket employees to help finish the game.

Based upon those screen shots, I don't blame Namco for pulling BottleRocket off the project. They look Wii-esque. If this was intended as a PSN/ Xbox Live Arcade Title, then I take it back. Otherwise, it looks like it could have been accomplished on the N64.

Seeing like Afro Samurai turned out, they should reconsider that.
