"The other night I made a mistake. An awful mistake that, even today – almost two days later – I’m still paying for. Through my Gamefly account, I rented Ju-on: The Grudge. For those that don’t remember it even coming out (and chances are, you don’t), it released in October of 2009 on the Nintendo Wii. I don’t expect pity; it’s not like I should have expected much considering that this was not only a licensed title, but also a game that labeled itself as a “Haunted House Simulator”. If the 2004 film gave you any chills, then the game is bound to terrify you beyond belief – just not in the way it should."
Bloody Disgusting reflects on a highly unusual addition to the Wii’s library, an official game based on Ju-on: The Grudge that’s also a haunted house simulator.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Mario games are great for Wii, but what about survival horror games? You wouldn't think it, but the family-friendly box has some satisfyingly creepy titles."
How many times are we going to hear "you wouldn't think these kind of games would be on a Nintendo console?"
Seriously anyone who spews that sounds like an uninformed grandparent. At this point it shouldn't surprise you that any kind of game comes to a Nintendo console.
In fact every console from every hardware manufacturer is family friendly.
I recall a Silent Hill knockoff that never released. Even the name was something similar. It actually looked pretty.
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition needs to be on the list if not number 1!
PROJECT ZERO 2: WII EDITION (If you've never played Fatal Frame 2....this is a good version to play next to the PS2 port on PS3 via PSN)
Dead Rising was also ported to the Wii but I'm not sure if that is a good version or not, but still a horror title.
Cursed mountain is awesome. When using controls, don't make large gestures. Use small flicks and it works perfectly. Great 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 hope you know the saying Misery loves company...bad games like to suck gamers down into the depths of it's hell...
At least you didn't buy it. I can't really say the game is bad cause i haven't tried it but i would maybe when i get a Wii U. I'll probably rent it just in case.
Wait,The Grudge was supposed to be a horror movie? O.O I must have missed the scary parts.
