The Story Behind Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Weapon effectiveness is also based on these depictions; werewolves die in one hit if attacked with silverware and vampires die faster if attacked with the crucifix. In October 2009, the Super NES version of Zombies Ate My Neighbors was re-released for the Wii Virtual Console. Censorship committees in several European Nations – the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany – censored it further by having the game renamed to Zombies, and ordered other changes including the replacement of the chainsaw-wielding enemies with lumberjacks wielding axes.

This game was released before the ESRB existed and, before then, Nintendo did not want violence in their video games. The developer wanted to include a battery save in the game but was unable to as they could not afford it. The North American SNES game was later released with a variant cover art in limited quantities.

They also reviewed the Mega Drive version and found the game to be almost as good as the SNES version, except for the controls being more difficult and graphics not as good. Although not an immediate success, Zombies Ate My Neighbors became a cult classic years after its release.

The enemies also bore similarities to characters from numerous horror films. Reviewers of the game often cited its humor, two-player mode, graphics and music as some of its best aspects.
