The ratings isn't high enough so that means its a flop now? I was thinking this was going to be about game sales figures.

Fatal Frame 5 wasn't going to release in the West anyways, so it's far from being a saviour (judging from Fatal Frame 4 on lock down Japan Only)...I'm not going to pine away as I did for FF4.

If FF5 gets localized, that would be rad, but every few weeks I see a new Fatal Frame 5 thread created by Nintendo fans that seem to have completely forgotten what happened with Fatal Frame 4 and Fatal Frame 2, trying to conjure up excitement for Fatal Frame 5. I just can't muster up excitement without reliving the anger of not being able to collect, buy, and play a non-region locked western copy of Fatal Frame 4 (as well as Fatal Frame 2 which was blocked by NOA, but did release in AU, EU, and JPN). Eh.

well to be fair mario kart did bump the sales of Wii U consoles by a fairly large amount. Snash may do the same (never a smash fan, so couldnt tell you how much it might, or why).

I can see the NeXT Zelda game doing the same, although it depends of the game. Will it catch up to the other consoles? not likely, but it will bump sales.

Is Zelda really a system seller ? I've never gotten the impression this franchise could move units better than Mario Kart.... Or Mario Anything for that matter.

" Wii U victory " and "" it will sell the units like Hot Cakes "" statements is far from just bump sales. Im not saying they wont have a bump sales wise but those statements right there... Ive seen them before ...! Nothing major happened!

point taken :) I guess it depends on how you read the posts, here on SW I tend to read all kinds of "Sells like hotcakes", "domination" and whatnot and downscale it to around "Sells well", "good game", or "good streak" may be a natural ajustment after having been around for that long -.-

But no, it will never take the lead, I do see a potential sales spike Again. But yeah "Wii U Victory" is pretty impossible.

I agree with you.

Imho , Zelda is Nintendos last hope. If mario couldnt make it or Kart ... I dont see Smash doing it also... Zelda is the only game can save the day for Nintendo considering will come as a cheap bundle or if not , Wii U having a price cut on its release. Then yes , it might be a terrific hardware sales pusher

I can't care about this game until a Western Release is announced. I want to play it, but Nintendo wants to make this a Japanese only game for some reason.

The kids here all go by that logic. If someone reviews something and it gets a lower score than expected, it's instantly a flop. Pretty much the thought process of every fanboy for each console. "Yes, let's base a game doing well on someone else's opinion". Makes perfect sense.

They really shouldn't be keeping games in Japan..especially a Wii U game...really dumb to have Japan only game when your system needs game. Hopefully bonehead Iwata comes through. :P

Tecmos mistake for letting it go. We could have had them all and it could be on multiple platforms like it used to be.

Flops? Its in line with the scores they gave the other games in the series:

Fatal Frame: 32/40

Fatal Frame 2: 33/40

Fatal Frame 3: 35/40

Fatal Frame 4 34/40

Fatal Frame 5 33/40

Same score as FF2, which is considered by many the best...lol

Silent Hill 34/40

Silent Hill 2 34/40

Silent Hill 3 33/40

Silent Hill 4: The Room 33/40

...

Same. I've never played a FF game before and would at least try a WiiU release if they decide to release in the West, but until they do, I dont care.

As Thunderdrone pointed out, it's on par with what Famitsu usually scores horror games.

Not that this thread deserved the effort and time spent to shed some light on Famitsu's history with the series, mind you. Before pointing the finger and announcing the stupidly out-of-context "flop" word on a game, that was used on this site if a game failed to reach its predicted status within a hype thread, that this game never had by the way, you should wait for a consensus of reviewers and general opinions on it.

Also, nice job at trying to start a meaningful and interesting discussion by doing nothing other than shouting "flop" and copy-pasting a link to Famitsu.

A game that has a good chance of not even being released outside of Japan is being labeled as "savior".. When did this happen?

@cainetao11: None what so ever but I thought I'd share a link to the first review of Fatal Frame by Famitsu as several users where interested in this Game wwhen it was first announced. The Topic of the title explains itself that it is a Fatal Frame Review but you can take the "Flop' part of the title in which context you like whether in the joking way or in the seriously serious way but whichever way I can say I am not concerned.

@luciana: My tablet and GS dont work well together, I cant post more than than a unlinked link. Read above. I have no opinion but others do as you can see.

Not personal dude. Just a rash of new posters who think a game not scoring 40/40 or 9/10 is a flop. That's not how System wars works. We vote on the hyped score, if a game doesn't at least meet that, then its a flop. So if a game is voted on to be 10/10 but gets a 9/10 it is a flop. Doesn't mean the game is bad, by any means. For a year now it seems, kids want to call anything a "flop". Not how it works here.

When I am "not concerned", I don't type 2 and 2/3 lines of response. Guess its all subjective......

@cainetao11: Haha, I'm not that new. I just generally have a catchy title so people get mad for instance "Legend of Hyrule Warriors Thread" I had someone going mad and stalking me saying "u r sexizt" as I said"i only play with men". Created another Topic Bayonetta 2 Vs HW where people got mad and instead of posting which they thought was going to be a better game they got angry with "Hyrule warriors is all girls" when comparing the 2 games.

Oh and above all. Tecmo know of the interest in the game so its all down to Nintendo.http://wiiudaily.com/2014/09/koei-tecmo-is-aware-of-the-campaign-to-get-fatal-frame-outside-of-japan/

I never see any sheep saying "such and such will save the Wii U", but I always see these threads (usually with the chalkboard pic) after the fact.

It's like you guys are trying so hard to paint the sheep as early PS3 era cows, but you're just screaming into the void.

What a misleading thread on every possible level.
