From the Minna no Nintendo Channel comes this "player experience" video for Wii's Fatal Frame 2. The players doing the experiencing are two scaaaaared little girls (I'm going to guess they're celebrities, but I really wouldn't know).
NeoGAF poster TunaLover says he wrote a letter to Xseed, the small game company that brings Japanese games to North America.
He wanted to know if Xseed would release the Wii remake of Fatal Frame 2 in the United States.
Xseed could have ignored it. They could have responded with an automated "Thank you for writing!" letter. They could have written a boilerplate "We have no plans to blah blah blah." They could have said they don't comment on rumors or speculation.
Instead, as Barrera/TunaLover writes, Xseed vice president Ken Berry sent over a personal note.
Indeed, I've written Xseed several times and they've always been kind and have actually read my messages and responded courteously. They take time out to respond to you as a person, not as a dollar sign.
They are a small group of people who are legitimately passionate about great games. There are only a few companies that might cause me to try out genres I would otherwise be uninterested in (fishing, visual novels)but thanks to them I have broadened my tastes.
XSeed are a fantastic publisher. But being in Europe i hope that NOE continue to be so incredibly good to their patch. All the Project rainfall games were released by Nintendo in Europe.
It does seem odd that they don't unify more though. we could of had simultaneuous EU/US releases of all of them. Its not like they weren't being translated into ENglish,French and Spanish anyway.
For Halloween this year Meodia takes a look at the Wii game Project Zero 2 (Fatal Frame):
"This style with the sublime musical score and you end up with a real palpable sense of dread that manages to permeate throughout the game."
The scariest night of the year is now only two days away, a horrifying evening when strange children knock at the door and refuse to leave without a toll of sweets and candy. It's also the time of year when we willingly scare ourselves witless by playing frightening video games.
To finish off a week-long series of fond Wii remembrances, Nintendo Life wants to highlight some titles from the system's back-catalogue that are perfect for this time of year. It suggests turning out the lights, basking in the tiny blue glow of the Wii power switch and trying these titles this Halloween.
I can't believe I just watched a couple of minutes of that. What's the point in this?
N4G. Does the "N" still stand for News? Really!
WTF is this?
Fatal frame series FTW.. I can't say more.. one of the best horror series ever 1-4 .. 2nd and IVth especially... can't wait for this remake
