If you want my opinion, the sig says it all. Fatal Frame 2 was one of the best games last gen.And if you don't know about Fatal Frame, here's all the info you need:

While I'm nowhere close to happy about this, I can't say I'm greatly disappointed by it, either. The worse thing about it all is the fact that you wouldn't think it would be too difficult to bring it over, and considering that the series has a following, the risk couldn't have been that great. One can only wonder why Fatal Frame 4 isn't getting the nod from Nintendo right now. :|

I don't know what it is, I stopped looking to Wikipedia a long time ago, but if you want the game that badly I'm sure there is a way to find it online somewhere. But I wouldn't go to Amazon if I were you. I ordered Okami literally three weeks ago...from tomorrow and it shows the dang product hasn't even been shipped yet :evil:

It's not like Nintendo doesn't have the resources to fix up some of the problems. A lot of Japanese games get fixed for american release, which then gets re-released in Japan as the PLUS edition.

Not that it matters, apparently Nintendo doesn't think the game is worth fixing up.

I don't see why Nintendo published it yet Nintendo of America won't bring it to the US. Is it because they don't want to translate it or get english voice actors? Will it tarnish their 'Family-Friendly' NOA reputation? Will it be too expensive to bring over? There are a ton of questions and it doesn't make any sense to me. Nintendo probably knows that Western gamers will hate the controls and think that the money they invest into fixing and importing the game won't be met or exceeded when people buy it. I can live without it but it's a game that deserves to come to the US, along with Disaster.

I was on the fence about buying the game because I have never played a Fatal Frame before, and it sounded interesting. Now I guess the decision has been made for me, which I really don't care because that is one less game to worry about wasting space, time and money on. Still, I think it is bad news because this is one less game that showed potential that will get to see the light of day worldwide.

Actually disaster got some really bad reviews, I guess the game didn't turn out very good. I think I recall the words "laughable" and "joke" being used to describe the game, and there may have even been a "so bad it's not funny" thrown in there somewhere as well. I think this is the reason we won't see Disaster: Day of Crisis in the US, because it is terrible.

Last sentence, very important

If Nintendo doesn't think it's worthy then there's not much you can do

I've been kind about Nintendo's stupid desicions. I've stood by and watched them put shovelware onto the Wii, and do the same with the DS (only less so). But this is the last straw. I was really excited for Fatal Frame 4. because it would be great to have in my collection. But now they butchered my dream. Nintendo, I have lost my faith in you.:evil: (I know they won't hear me, but I don't care.)

The news is quite depressing. I was greatly looking forward to that game. Nintendo has had a terrible track record with these things lately. Before it wasn't so bad, there was the occasional game that wasn't brought over however they were few in number, and usually there was a good reason for it (like legal issues, or a culture gap). Now there is a substancial list of games for both the DS and Wii that have yet to be brought over. Games like Disaster, Fatal Frame, Captain Rainbow, Soma Bringer, ASH, and to a lesser degree Glory of Heracules. On top of that the status of games like Trace Memory R, and Tact of Magic are up int the air as well. I'm just glad Sin and Punishment 2 has been confirmed for a 09 release or I'd be worried about that too.

I dont think that they believe its a bad game, but they cant be sure how a japanese horror game will do with the new high action direction of the horror genre. So they probably don't feel its worth putting the game back in development for localization and to fix the problems the game has, since it may not sell. However I still find it disappointing news as it looks like an enjoyable game, especially if they ironed out the problems.

I've enjoyed the series on the PS2 and would have liked to have seen the Wii version.

Nintendo is the publisherbut it's not the publisher. Make your mind up! If Nintendo is actually the publisher and they don't want to release it then they should explain why.

Considering this game has already been programmed I am wondering what needs to be done in order to get this out in either N. America or Europe? I guess they don't want to release it because it might hit sales of Wii music.

I'm really annoyed by this. A magazine add has been found in the UK suggesting that the title will be released in Europe. If they are going to translate it for over there, then why not for North America? Seriously? Ugh, just one game I've been looking forward to is now not coming over seas ... Great ... :(

Its BS, the first three Fatal Frame games on the PS2 and Xbox where published in North America and the PAL countries for a reason, because they had a fan base and one large enough for Tecmo to make the first and its two sequels for the market outside of Japan. If Nintendo a much bigger and richer company is to cheap and lazy to publish out of Japan then they should have never bothered taking the publish rights from Tecmo. If by keeping this a Tecmo only meant maybe coming out on the PS3 or 360 as opposed to the Wii then that's fine, because it at-least mean that western fans of Fatal Frame would get to play the next installment. For Nintendo especially NoA, if it isn't family friendly, a GC port, or casual mingame Wii titled fest they won't publish, just look at Monolith games like Disaster: Day of Crisis for Wii or Soma Bringer for DS.

Those are reasons why I haven't bought any Nintendo titles since the end on 2007, my respective Nintendo systems since that time have been getting nothing but third party games. This is also something you wont often hear for a Nintendo console, thank god for third parties especially for this year in 09, otherwise I would have nothing to play for my Wii and DS. Third parties are making the games I want and enjoy unless Nintendo proves otherwise or has a change of heart and published such games as mentioned above, Nintendo especially NoA is on my black list.

While I will still send quick e-mail, next week I am going to write regular old fashioned letter to NoA stating my opinion on their core gaming publishing. Personally I think regular letters make more of an impact then e-mails, so if anybody feels strongly about this take the time to write a letter. As for petition especially online for all the time it takes just sign it, even if it doesn't change a thing at-least express ones dissatisfaction to proper place.

Me neither.

Seems like a lot of people are getting worked into a tizzy, and about the only thing I see coming out of that is additional stress on their body.

No offense to anyone, but when I heard I said `who cares?'.

I've never played a Fatal Frame before so I'm somewhat indifferent, but looking at this game I see some potential. Nintendo should reconsider their decision.

Why do you care that other people who have been fans of the other three games care, that they wont get to play this instalment. If you don't care don't bother posting in this thread.
