Zombie BBQ’s unused European covers

Remember all that unused artwork (many of it NSFW) that Gammick and EnjoyUp didn’t include in Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ final release? Well, here’s more of it!

Since this was originally supposed to hit stores in Europe, design company Ikari Studio created a couple boxart options for the region. Since it later turned into a DSiWare release — it will hit U.S. DSiWare soon, too — we never saw the covers. Spanish site Gen16 scored an interview with Ikari, though, and posted the art and other great pieces.

Jump past the post break for the second unused “Zombi BBQ” packshot. Oh, and click the art for larger images!

Back from the grave: Zombie BBQ’s DSiWare (EU) release, unseen artwork

More than a year after Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ released in the U.S., the fairy tale-based shoot’em up finally made it to Europe today, and on DSiWare no less. For their patience, PAL gamers need only pay 800 Nintendo Points for the full game.

It’s unlikely that North America’s DSiWare shop will receive Zombie BBQ, as it’s already seen a cart edition, and I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo doesn’t take kindly to retail games jumping onto the download service untrimmed. You can still grab a cart cheap for $14.99 on Amazon/Target, though.

Seeing as we’re a day away from Halloween and we’re celebrating the continued life of this cult favorite, I’ll give you a treat: Zombie BBQ art that didn’t appear in the game or promotional materials. The images are definitely NSFW, though, so turn away, office slackers and minors, lest you sully your eyes with images of a scantily clad Red, undead monstrosities, and reindeer scrotum.

Finally, our Zombiegiving winner

My apologies for waiting nearly a month before announcing our Zombiegiving contest’s winner — shit got real, keeping me super busy lately.

Before I reveal the victor, I’ll note that we originally picked out a different random commentor to win this free copy of Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ. That person (who happens to be a regular reader), however, didn’t leave a valid email address, so we had to draw another random entry. Let this be a lesson to you all!

A.J., who commented with his real email address, won the game with this pervy, ellipsis-filled message:

“This game looks amazing… I wanna get it just so my friends can see Red Riding Hood’s… *ahem* uhh… AWESOME ATTACKS! YEAH, AWESOME ATTACKS.”

Amazingly, our random number generator was thisclose to picking out auntie’s discerning comment. For those of you who are disappointed over not winning, enjoy the above image of Red. Apparently, Ikari Studio provided the artwork for the fairy tale shoot’em-up.

I never noticed this before, but Ms. Riding Hood totally has a red ribbon around her neck. Creeeeppyyyyy!
