If only the 3DS game did it right the first time.
Maybe she'll have chainsaw hands that can saw spirits in half
OH MAN
Might be a bit of a departure from past titles, though

I guess they'll show her when they show the game.

Obviously the main character will actually already be a ghost.

Do we know when they release a first trailer?

Not yet. I'm guessing they'll show the game on a Nintendo Direct or on Famitsu.
This has a chance, XCX was announced worldwide at the reveal.
Spirit Camera did. I don't think NOA's in the position to pick and choose with Wii U.

They didn't care about FF4 and FF2 remake though.
XCX looks like the budget is too huge to stay in Japan though.
A direct translation of this would be:
Yo, the unnanounced Wii U exclusive would be Fatal Frame? Or Not? But looking forward to E3!
It's just saying "Maybe it is, maybe it's not".

I think it'll come to the West, Nintendo needs to expand their library and shouldn't spare any game especially for the WiiU.

Ah, okay. Thanks! Hope they will reveal it soon.

That was posted pre-E3, it was probably referring to Devil's Third.

so I am a little confused they are teasing only this image with the movie?
So how does the movie tie into the game?
also are the 4 girls we see there the main characters of the released titles and the 5th in the shadow the one for the WiiU game?
pls localize this, not being at E3 was a bad sign

have someone ever cleared up why Nintendo gets mentioned in copyrights for this IP? it was always a debate, just wondering if it has been cleared up
Wii was different. Nintendo's struggling to put out enough content on Wii U, I don't see NOA passing over anything that's not prohibitively risky (like DQX or MHFG).

They don't own the I.P., but they funded Fatal Frame 4 and the Wii Remake of 2. Same reason why Nitnendo's name will appear in the copyright of Bayonetta 2. They own nothing of the series before Fatal Frame 4.

This is one of the titles for the WiiU that I am really looking forward to. Actually thought the WiiU would be the first Nintendo console I didn't get at launch but I did and now it's looking more and more attractive with each passing day. Fatal Frame is going to be the center piece in my collection.
Hoping for an awesome trailer soon.

that always puzzled me, it is not a sales giant many gamers seem to like he IP but I don't remember sales being huge or anything. Yet Nintendo seems to continue to fund them and they don't own any of it
this is a point I was making in the Bayonetta2 thread that Nintendo easily fund titles that keep a 3rd Party relationship going
Fatal Frames should be cheap to make maybe?
Black Soma

Yes, she should be FF5 main character since she's at the center of the picture with all the other protagonists of the series.
I don't think the game will have ties with the movie. From what I've heard it seems the movie is based on a novel that should be released around the same time.
I would have thought it's because Fatal Frame is the last non-first party Japanese horror series that is still running and is:
A) Still horror.
B) Not shit.
Plus, seeing as it isn't a huge money maker, I imagine that Tecmo is happy to have someone pay for development for them.

what is the "clear file" they are giving away with purchase of a ticket?
is it just a photo and profile / bio of the girls or is it a game file thing?

Cheap development is probably your answer here along with it a reasonably well known franchise. Tecmo-Koei selling and losing the I.P outright doesn't really make much sense for them and it's probably not worth Nintendo spending the money to buy it in the long term.
It's a good deal on both sides. Nintendo gets a decent exclusive game which doesn't take away any of it's internal development resources while T-K can develop the game on the cheap and share with Nintendo whatever profits come their way. It's an exclusive partnership on a game-by-game basis, with it very likely being that Nintendo green lights any project as they have first refusal on the franchise, either contractual or a gentlemen's agreement between the two companies.
It's a document folder. The physical kind.

seems like a strange item, they are not in the movie, and I am guessing not playable in FF5 but have a document. Does each story take place at the same location? School & Haunted House?
I need a manga of this series, I would love to read more details about it

About the movie, Kadokawa has released an english subbed version of the teaser trailer.

Does this mean they are planing to release the movie outside of japan?

Not sure, but I think so.

I honestly really like the look of this. If this had nothing to do with Fatal Frame it would still be the first East Asian horror film I've seen in years. There is just something about all those pale girls in black uniforms, especially the short haired one.
Wouldn't the next Nintendo direct be in August? The last Nintendo directs were February, April then the June Digital Event.
I feel like since this is a Tecmo project they will be the ones to reveal it themselves at TGS with the following Nintendo Direct having information and possibly more footage.
I would happily pay for a Fatal 4 and Fatal Frame 2 Wii HD Collection. With Bayonetta and stuff like Devil's Third chances have gone from zero to maybe 3%.

Everytime this thread gets bumped I enter hoping for a trailer of the game
I think a new thread will be made when that happens

Ah my fault. Would be nice to get some more info though on FF.
Probably best not to expect it, though the Directs for a specific platform usually have an item or two for the other system.
