Zombies Ate My Neighbors and its sequel,
Ghoul Patrol, to modern platforms this summer, the companies announced Tuesday. The 16-bit games specifically the Super NES versions will receive new features when they come to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One on June 29, 2021.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors was originally released for Sega Genesis and SNES in 1993 through Konami. The top-down run-and-gun game stars Zeke and Julie as they battle zombies, vampires, Martians, mutant blobs, and other monsters across more than 50 levels of schlock horror sci-fi action.
Ghoul Patrol brought back Zeke and Julie for more adventures the following year.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors tells the story of protagonists Zeke and Julie as they try to save their town from vampires monsters, giant babies, Martians, and, yes, zombies and ghouls. Both games will include modern conveniences like a quick save feature and achievement support. Fans will also find behind-the-scenes content like developer interviews, art galleries and more.
You’ll have the chance to buy
Zombies Ate My Neighbors and
Ghoul Patrol together for
$15 on the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, Steam and GOG. And if you want a physical copy of the games, you’re in luck. Limited Run Games will sell copies for select current and legacy platforms, with more details to come closer to the summer.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition has already replaced the original 2017 version on all platforms, so we’re not exactly surprised to see it finding its way onto Google Stadia. That doesn’t mean we aren’t excited about it. Dragon Quest XI S is a fantastic entry point into one of the all-time greatest JRPG franchises out there, and we welcome it onto Google Stadia, where it will hopefully reach an even larger audience. In this game, players take on the role of the Luminary, a young man who’s being hunted down because of a destiny he doesn’t fully understand, and fight to save the world alongside a ragtag bunch of loveable misfits. It’s not exactly ground-breaking RPG storytelling, but it is polished to a mirror-shine and channeled through the endearing art of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, so we’re not complaining. Go on, take a look, it’ll be fun.
