CONFIRMED! Fatal Frame IV NOT Coming to America or Europe!
|
Update: 4/9/09quote Fatal Frame IV confirmed not to be coming to NA After a long drawn out silence to the fans Nintendo has decided not to publish Fatal Frame IV, the Japan confined Wii survival horror game which was released midway through last year for North America. Tecmo has shown disappointment at this move, but it appears the word is final. quote Nintendo
Nintendo holds the publishing rights to ‘Fatal Frame Wii,’ which was developed by Tecmo LTD. and Grasshopper Manufacture and released in Japan on July 31, 2008. Nintendo of America has since then decided not to publish the title in North America – consequently, the title will not be released in this territory. ~ gamegrep article quote Nintendo: Fatal Frame IV Isn't Coming To Europe Either This looks like the final nail in the coffin. A few days ago Nintendo of America announced that Fatal Frame IV will not be coming to America. Today, Nintendo of Europe have also revealed that they have no plans on releasing the game in PAL regions either. quoteSo, what of Europe? Nintendo just re-iterated to SPOnG that, "there are currently no plans to release this game in Europe." That's obviously not a 'never', but it's not looking too promising. ~ gamegrep article  - Mod Edit: Apr 19, 09 by Gothic Girl

I honestly don't believe this will come to the U.S. anytime soon or anywhere outside Japan after reading that. I wonder if the other 3 games were like this? Anyway this game comes out in a little over a week. I'm really curious on how well it sells on the 1st day as well as that 1st week. Sorry Gothic Girl. Please don't start with the *bleep* Nintendo comments. XD Edit: Wow, This forum is rediculously dead. Edit: Jul 23, 08

Like bbb said in the GameGrep article, Nintendo of America is NOT the same thing as Nintendo of Japan.
NoJ is publishing the game, not NoA. So of course some random NoA employee, (who probably doesn't even play hardcore games like Fatal Frame), won't know about the series. Alot of people didn't even know about the series until it switched to Wii, so how would some random 35-year old business man, who works in the NoA office, know about the title?

To be quite frank, this doesn't surprise me one bit.
The FF series in general isn't what I would call a 'Hard-core game' in America. A hardcore game in this country is where you find yourself in a situation where you barely have enough time to reload your gun before you find more holes in your head than a block of swiss cheese. I don't think the Wii will make Fatal Frame anything more than 'another horror title' when it gets here, which brings me to this next point; Fatal Frame is too scary for the kids and the story could confuse any Halo and Madden fanboy within seconds. This being said, I though Sony and Project Zero had a beautiful friendship due to the Playstation's vast variety of gamers. You have the FPS people, the platformers, the sports junkies and then the survival horror kids. Nintendo of America has never heard of this franchise, since the game itself has never made much of an impact in the gaming community (And believe me, it hurts me to say that...)They're most likely too busy playing Mario Cart and watching the new hott interns try out the yoga on 'Wii Fit'.
We'll see how they react when it gets here....

Update - 8/28/2008:10/4/2008:quote Reggie reveals Nintendo of America NOT publising Fatal Frame IV?In a recent interview with Sean O'Neill of Kombo, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime, answered questions regarding the status of Nintendo's upcoming horror title Fatal Frame IV. Is it going to get an American release date? Reggie responded with: "you're going to have to contact the publisher for questions on that." Which is odd, since Tecmo (the developers of the title) seem to think Nintendo are the publishers. To add to the confusion, Nintendo of Japan published the title in Japan. So who is in charge of publishing in America? You would think that they would have these sort of things worked out by now. quoteWhen pressed by Sean O'Neill about the title (Fatal Frame IV), Reggie just shrugged his shoulders and said "not my problem."
Actually, no, that's not exactly true. Be funny if it was, but it's not. But it's not terribly far off, either, as Reggie told Sean with a smirk that "you're going to have to contact the publisher for questions on that." gamegrep article Words cannot describe how much this news annoys me This message was edited by Gothic Girl on Oct 03 2008.

This might have been a new addition on the site's part since the last post here... but the main page of this site for this game says it should be released in the 4th quarter of this year... Edit: Oct 31, 08

I'm guessing that's a rumor for now. I just added an article that talks about Nintendo's official release-date list (for their late 2008/early 2009 games) to the first post ... and Fatal Frame isn't on it.

I hope that they figure out what the heck they are doing soon! When I found out that Fatal Frame 4 was coming out on the Wii is when I officially decided to buy the system--which isn't easy with money now a days. But I would so try and get this game if they would just come out with it-please please let them bring it soon ;-;!

Hellz yes! The release date for Europe has just been announced - It's slated for February 2009. And it has been confirmed that America will also be getting the game.

About freaking time.  I can't wait for this game to come out, after I saw the terrible trailer for Cursed Mountain. I want another good survival horror game.
