But then, suddenly, there was hope again as we began to hear tell of Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse! Finally, a new Fatal Frame game! But, what’s this? Tecmo isn’t the developer… Nintendo is the publisher… and it’s a Wii game… it’s a motion controlled horror survival game… oh joy. Not that anyone in North America or Europe who might have been looking forward to that would get to play it since all releases besides Japan’s were cancelled. Don’t you just love when Nintendo gets their hands on a beloved franchise and then screws it up the butt because they have no idea how to deal with third party developers?"
Spooky season is here again at last and time of the horror game has arrived alongside it. This year has seen the return of some the genre's greatest entires, but both tended to focus more on thrills than they did chills. So, those wanting a bit more of the latter this month would do well to check out at least one of these before Halloween rolls around.
Today Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the fiscal year which ended in March 2023, on top of sales numbers for some of its games.
If Jeff Grubb doesn't confirm Koei Tecmo games as successes, I don't believe in Koei Tecmo. /s
Atelier Ryza 3 is must buy especially as 2nd hand market for these games sometimes is nuts
Good now bring in a new Dynasty Warriors Gundam game and remaster the older ones for PS5.
Speaking of DW they really need to revamp that game. I'm always a DW fan but DW9 was horrible. Looking at nioh/wo long maybe they should put in skill base on your toes gameplay like wo long but with more DW battlefield or smaller fields. Have less enemies like ants crawling on each other so it's much cleaner. Hard to explain what I thinking about it.

It was 4/5 and then 7 with empires for each. 6 was iight, 8 was the exact same as 7 it felt and 9 was a huge step back. Went from story telling cinematic to roboted generic open conversations.
MonsterVine: "While some aspects of the gameplay and exploration disappointed me, Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is an unsettling journey through a haunted island that I found much more enjoyable than Maiden of Black Water."
I enjoyed this game..
