Nintendo has never been known for its horror games, and on the contrary, has always been known for being family-friendly. But throughout the years, quite a few great horror classics have made their way onto Nintendo consoles, with several exclusives that cannot be found anywhere else still to this day.<\/p>\n

Looking at the Switch, Nintendo’s most recent home console has had more horror titles than any other console before it, with an impressive selection of both old and new games. But instead of looking at the wide array of 3rd party games available on the hybrid console<\/a>, today’s list will instead be focused on games that started as–and continue to remain–exclusive to Nintendo consoles since their inception.<\/p>\n

The Nintendo GameCube actually has quite a few great survival horror titles available for it. Both Resident Evil Remake<\/em> and Resident Evil 0<\/em> originally launched as exclusives for the system and, up until a few years ago when they were HD remastered, remained so. One game that still remains exclusive to this day, however, is Luigi’s Mansion<\/em>, which in many ways feels like a kid-friendly version of Capcom’s titular survival horror series. Starring the green plumber, Luigi’s Mansion<\/em> takes place in a haunted mansion, where Mario’s younger brother must\u00a0utilize the Poltergust 5000 in order to suck up boos Ghost Busters-style.<\/p>\n

Like most of Nintendo’s first party titles, the game oozes charm and creativity at every corner with fun gameplay combined with some spooky atmosphere that borrows heavily from classic survival horror games. The title was ported over to the Nintendo 3DS<\/a>\u00a0about two years ago,with some added features, but the GameCube version arguably remains superior in some ways.<\/p>\n

The PlayStation 2 has often been dubbed as the go-to console for survival horror, and it’s easy to see why. The console features an impressive line-up of classic titles, from Silent Hill\u00a0<\/em>to the lesser known Siren<\/em> and Haunting Ground<\/em>. But many horror fans often forget that one of the arguably greatest horror titles of all time is actually available exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube:\u00a0Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem<\/em><\/a>. Developed by\u00a0Silicon Knights, Eternal Darkness<\/em>\u00a0features a Sanity meter, a feature so unique that Nintendo went so far as to patent it. Upon losing their “sanity,”\u00a0the player\u00a0starts\u00a0experiencing more and more frightening effects through the course of the game, sometimes\u00a0even breaking the fourth wall.<\/p>\n

Even outside of its\u00a0sanity effects, Eternal Darkness<\/em> is a fantastic game. From its extremely ambitious story spanning over a thousand years and a dozen playable characters to its terrifying atmosphere, Eternal Darkness<\/em>\u00a0is a masterpiece and earns its spot as one of the greatest psychological horror games of all time, right up there with Silent Hill 2<\/em> and\u00a0Amnesia: The Dark Descent<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Recently rumored to be\u00a0brought back in some shape or form\u00a0for the Switch, fans can only hope that Nintendo has something new in store for this rare horror gem.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Fatal Frame<\/em>, a series that originally started off on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, became an exclusive Nintendo franchise when the Japanese company acquired full rights to the series in 2012. But upon the\u00a0acquisition of the series, Nintendo seemed hesitant in releasing\u00a0the games\u00a0on any of its consoles outside of Japan, with Fatal Frame 4<\/em> releasing on the Wii, but exclusively in the PAL region. Luckily for North American fans, the series’ fifth installment made its way onto Wii U consoles in 2014. Fatal Frame: Maiden of the Black Water<\/em><\/a> sets itself apart from the rest of the franchise by making excellent use of the Wii U gamepad, with the player holding it up in front of the television screen by using it as the camera obscura. The game plays great, and can be extremely scary at times.<\/p>\n

Releasing exclusively for the Wii U has been both a blessing and a curse for Maiden of the Black Water. <\/em>On one hand, the game utilizes the gamepad well and actually feels like it enhances the gameplay, but on the other hand it makes the game very unlikely to ever get ported to the Switch. Because of this, the game will likely fade into obscurity and is unlikely to get played by many fans of the genre. Here’s hoping that a sixth installment is in the works for the Switch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While most horror fans cite\u00a0classic games\u00a0like the original Resident Evil<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as being the grandfather of the survival horror genre, Clock Tower<\/em> actually came first,\u00a0one year prior. Clock Tower<\/em>\u00a0has\u00a0no combat of any kind, and it features extremely limited point-and-click gameplay. The Super Famicom also holds the game back by having fairly basic graphics, but none of these set backs stop\u00a0Clock Tower<\/em> from being an excellent survival horror game.<\/p>\n

Starring an orphaned girl named Jennifer, the player wanders a mansion,\u00a0attempting to\u00a0escape from the clutches of the Scissorman, a\u00a0killer that utilizes a giant pair of scissors. In many ways, the game’s rudimentary graphics and gameplay enhance the title by making the player feel more helpless and less in-control of Jennifer. The game features multiple endings (eight in total),\u00a0which was very uncommon back in the day of its release. Clock Tower<\/em> spawned several sequels, a remake for PS1, and even inspired\u00a0new horror games like the recent Remothered<\/em> series<\/a>;\u00a0however, the original Super Famicom game was never re-released in any form and remains an exclusive.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Luigi’s Mansion 3<\/em><\/a> improves upon the original in\u00a0many ways, and is a truly thrilling experience from start to finish. It’s true that it’s not technically “horror,” but the game’s relatively spooky atmosphere makes it\u00a0perfect for playing during Halloween season with family. This is especially true given its addition of an optional second player with Gooigi’s introduction makes the game all the more fun.<\/p>\n

All of these titles remain exclusively available on Nintendo consoles to this day, with plenty of other third party horror games also available across all Nintendo platforms. With Halloween quickly approaching, these games should be the perfect fix for Nintendo console owners.<\/p>\n
