If Nintendo is publishing this game, then it would not make much sense to skip localization since the Wii U is starved for games. But then again, I do not expect Nintendo to do what I think makes sense.

New Fatal Frame game announced for Wii U
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
Forgot about that. thanks for the reminder. And its even sitting on my shelf.
This, we need to get a Project Fatal or something asap.
I'm hoping they translate FFiV for the Wii out West first. Wii owners in North America got ahafted
Apparently, it's never happening because Tecmo doesn't want to put the money down to fix the numerous bugs the game shipped with, some of them rather game breaking. Nintendo straight up pulled it from shelves in Japan and never did another shipment.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
WiiU presents a lot of interesting appeal for horror games. Too bad Atari and Eden weren't around to take a swing at this:
In all seriousness, I imported this but have yet to get an extra Wii I can homebrew to play it with the English patch that the fans released.
I expect additional North America disappointment and heartache until proven wrong this time. Fool me once, shame on you...

Will buy if it's released in the uk. Could be awesome with the pad.

I have never been a fan of online petitions, but I do believe this could be the first time I support one. So where is the petition to localize this game to show Tecmo Koei and Nintendo the game absolutely must get a localized North American release?
Or hell, what about KickStarter to pay for the damn localization? LOL
Something, anything to let them know it would be an absolute travesty if it was not localized.

While it'd definitely be best for people not to get their hopes up, "definitely" seems like a bit of a strong word at this juncture.
Makes no sense, but carry on.

Man, we really need a FF game for the PS4 or X1.

I'll hop onto whatever name we go with, I just wanna add my voice to the hashtag/project name that everyone agrees on.
Get Microsoft or Sony to fund one then. Otherwise it's likely not happening. Just like last gen.
We're lucky that this one exists. Isn't that good enough?

Yesss.
I imagine playing it for a prolonged period of time alone, in a dark room will make you super paranoid after a while.

See this, Nintendo? This is what's going to make me buy your freaking console.
Don't fuck it up, NoA.

This ain't really in the same vein as Bayonetta 2 in any way though...

Obviously it's just a trend~
First Japan
Then Japan/EU
Logically what comes next is Japan/EU/NA!

Loved what I played of IV (because of Mamiko Noto); the second game that I have ever imported.

NoA's already ignoring the retail compilation of NES Remix
But yeah, I doubt they'll skip this game. Project Zero 4 had a lot of drama behind it, and 2's remake came out long after they'd completely given up supporting the Wii.Haha oh god, I forgot about that already, and I was just playing it the other day!
This lol

I personally like the dark room + surround sound + a handful of buddies + bottles of booze.
Spirit Camera was Japan/EU/NA. Now the cycle resets.
This deserves so much better than an eShop only release, but if that's what it takes...

Hey look it's a core-oriented original Wii U exclusive that is sure to make great use of the hardware, in a franchise / genre that core Wii U owners want to buy.
Yep, NOA is going to print 3 copies and send them to 2 Gamestops.
Both in Alaska.
In 2019.
(And forget to put the carton on the truck when it heads up.)

Nice. This is one of those game concepts that fits so naturally with the Wii U's hardware that it almost seems too obvious to actually happen -- it's like the Wii U equivalent of the never-was lightsaber game everyone wanted on Wii. Nintendo of America, please do not cock this up.
Two games in a row that didn't make it to NOA is a pattern, not a coincidence.
Spirit Camera made it though.
Two points does not make a pattern, actually.
Especially given they were completely different circumstances.

Not to us, no. But maybe so to the person who said so. I don't know how informed (or not) that person is about things.

While true, the Wii really didn't need the games all that much imo. Sure there was a drought, but clearly Nintendo didn't care much for the Wii at that point. Now, a game like this, especially if translated, should be much easier to release in the eShop at the very least. For one, the Wii U needs it, unlike the Wii which was easily on its way to 100m consoles. NoA for some reason released Spirit Camera on the 3DS for some reason.
Um, the last Fatal Frame game only got a PAL (EU & JP) release if I recall correctly.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I wouldn't be so sure. Project Zero 2 Wii got an EU release but never hit America.

...I'd say it has more chance of a PAL release than a NA release if the Wii release of FF2 is any indication.

Btw, does anyone look at this like Sonic Boom? A franchise that's trying to gain more popularity via a cross-media campaign despite being solely game focused before? If the movie, comic or novel gets popular, I could see that helping the game. In all honesty, is any Tecmo-Koei franchise doing well these days? It might be why they're willing to partner up with Nintendo as much as they have.

I'm surprised.
The last FF game on the Wii sold like 20k.

It's a game that wasn't going to sell so hot to begin with on a console that is going to make it sell even less and will probably be met with "It should be on a different console" every time it's mentioned. Just like Bayonetta 2!
