Fatal Frame for Wii U Announced

http://gematsu.com/2014/04/new-fatal-frame-announced-wii-u#PE5ALhJfTAipO35s.99

Is this related to Spirit Camera in any way?

I'll get excited once it actually comes here. I learned my lesson with Fatal Frame IV.

Get on Steam

@Xaero_Gravity:

It's coming, Nintendo isn't in a position to not localize their games, ESPECIALLY WII U ONES

Knowing dumbass Nintendo they won't bring it over. They bought that series and haven't bothered to localize it.

One thing I legitimately hate Nintendo for.

OK I say we should start operation rain fall from today can anyone start a petition lol.

Better release it outside of Japan...good news anyway. :P

A new game is nice and all, for me at least, but Nintendo has/had publishing privileges on the entire series for quite a while, it was negotiated in part to their financing of Fatal Frame IV for the Wii, they should have taken full advantage of that to publish the older titles to the Wii or Wii U. Instead they never publish Fatal Frame IV outside Japan, and they only developed a Wii port of Crimson Butterfly for Japan, Europe, and Australia, nothing for North America. It'd help maybe to sell an older title if they'd give gamers access to the older games to build anticipation for a new title. They could easily slap together an anthology of Fatal Frame, Crimson Butterfly, Tormented, and Mask of the Lunar Eclipse for the Wii U. It wouldn't do much good to make a new game without giving gamers access to the previous entries in the series.

Anyhow, shouldn't hold my breath, something tells me Nintendo is going to royally **** this up somehow. Maybe this will be a Japan release only. Maybe it'll only see limited international localization for Europe and Australia. I think it'd be a goddamn miracle if this makes it to North America.

Good news. Hopefully we'll get to play this one.

Didn't realise they didn't release Crimson Butterfly Wii in US....hopefully they will for this one. Wii U needs games. :P

Pretty much this. Pretty disappointed to care much for this till NoA actually does go for it if so.

Hopefully Nintendo will get rid of that hand holding ghost location snitch bar that pops up everytime you're fighting a ghost and that stupid lock on feature that the previous ones had. If they get rid of those two features, it would help the game be ALOT more scary. They weren't scary when the game points out where the ghosts are every time you fight one.

I liked the games but I really wasn't scared in the least. Well, I'll say the only semi scary part was when the lady came out that box with the hair looking like Sadako Yamamura. Fatal Frame 3 definitely had the best jump scares but 2 had the best environment and story.

With the Gamepad as the camera, there is no need for Lock On nor the Snitch Bar.

I want footage of this game and I truly hope that it is ALOT harder than the previous ones.

Even if it wasn't the buggy mess that Fatal Frame IV was, I still don't see it getting localized for one reason:

The inevitable bombing of Bayonetta 2

Will probably sell about 200K since it doesn't have Mario and isn't a platformer.

I'll get excited when it gets confirmed for a western release.

dem lem tears

Dunno man.... You'd think Nintendo would do the obvious thing to do but many times they don't. We had to fight to get Xenoblade and Last Story here while there was not much else sight for the Wii. Not sure what they're thinking.

And the link between both games is........? Both being mature? That's it?

Sadly this is this case.

Yeah, and for Nintendo's sake. It's a big one, considering their horrible history with mature oriented content (and why they never bothered with it during the Wii era).

@Wanderer5: OH MY GOD YOU'RE BACK

same in the other thread.

Japan Only.

Wake me when it's Western bound.

If Nintendo doesn't localize this for their struggling console, then they deserve to fail this gen. You just don't not localize games for a console that needs them and isn't selling well right now. I would love to see this come to the U.S.

Lol.... yeah I haven't been active here much nowadays.XD

At first I was like...damn so now there's 2 games I now want for the WiiU, but then I read up on the possibility of this being localised and it went back down to 1 again. Nevermind.

OT of Fatal Frame I wish they released the other games on EU PSN so I can play them already, fucking US PSN....

Would be cool if we got it.

By "we", I mean Belgium.

Since its coming to the Wii U, its only right that we demand some co-op !

Let's make another Operation.

Release Trauma Team in Europe, then we'll talk Nintendo !

It's nice to hear something positive when it comes to Nintendo for once.

Think you can make a US account on PSN?

yeah but...I shouldn't have to lol (I'm lazy and like just having one account for everything.) All content should be on every version of PSN.

Agreed

Only on WiiU ... Why ? WHYYYYYYYYY?

fixed that for you.
