    History

    Legacy

    The Dreamcast version was first announced for release in February 2001[17], but was cancelled around November[18].

    Following its Chihiro launch in 2002, The House of the Dead III was ported to the Xbox home console in 2003. A Windows PC port was released in 2005, and the game was re-released on the Wii as part of The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return. A version for the PlayStation 3 with PlayStation Move support was released by Sega in early 2012.
