New Fatal Frame Announced Exclusively for Wii U

[chavosaur]

Neat, I love me a good horror game. And since The Evil Within isn't making it's way over to Wii U, I guess this will have to do.

 

[DunnoBro]

I've got mixed feelings. I think the Wii U is the absolute best console for this type of game but... man, all the potential scares and creeps

 

[XDel]

Good to hear, glad it's not Resident Evil with it's comic booky story lines. Fatal Frame has always been good at delivering shocks. I really enjoyed 2 and 4!

How about they just push out X , then Wii U sales should pick up , this game needs to be published before any hacks come out .

 

[Foxi4]

Good to see that the system isn't completely dead. If it goes overseas, I'll happily pick this up.

 

[KyoufuNoDaiou]

NOA, please release this here, please.

I really hope this one actually makes to the US.
I am still bitter about what happened to the last one.

I recommend playing the fan translation.

This would be like, the first Wii U game that uses the Gamepad as a main game mechanic correctly.

Not worth it at this point, my Wii has been untouched for far too long and not worth setting everything up again just for one game

Man, people really are lazy these days.

Erm...have you played zombiu? While the gamepad's prime utility was a map and inventory, it served as a sniping aid and scanning device as well. And did that pretty decently. It may have not been "just" the main reason, it sure used it in a lot of ways.


The sad thing is that this is the only exception. Nintendoland was more of a tech demo than a game and other games make only minimal use of it. From what I've heard of pikmin 3, it doesn't even add much value there either.

Ya know what, if Nintendo was greedy they could've sold each separately on the eShop for £3.50/$5.80, so it was 12 mini games in total... £42/$70.

I sure am glad they didn't think of this but for those that'd just want to play one of the twelve, it wouldn't be a bad purchase per say.

Erm...have you played zombiu?

No because the hype around this game was so non existent that no one of my friends who picked up a Wii U bought the game.
I might play it once I have my own wii U but I doubt this will ever happen since I'm buying Nintendo Consoles mainly for Local multiplayer and some exclusive singleplayer titles that I am really hyped about.

ive never played fatal frame before >.< i should give it a try.. do they have it on wii? i need someone beside me when i play this hehehhehe

I hate that ZombiU is seen as if it were a great game, it did have a great concept but graphically it looked worse than a 360 launch game, boring as hell, mediocre voice acting and not worth buying it at all.

I'd rather play Telltale's Walking Dead, granted it's not really a game but sure is a lot more fun than ZombiU.

You're entitled to your opinion. I don't share it, though. The ideas were worked out perfectly and the thing with horror games is that even where there wasn't anyone around felt tense because you don't know that in advance. Graphically or voice acting wise...I can't say I ever noticed it.

Yes, a remake of Fatal Frame II came out in all territories, and Fatal Frame IV came out in Japan and a fan-translation has been made.
