"There was a time that when a game was released in Japan with no word of a Western release, fans would be left in the cold. This is especially true when it comes to some more niche titles or survival horror games and one such title that stung back in 2008 was Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse for the Wii. Despite the platform’s popularity, Koei Tecmo never localized this entry in the series leaving fans of the Fatal Frame series in the West with a nine year gap before the eventual Maiden of Black Water release on the Wii U. Following the enhanced multiplatform release of the former title, Koei Tecmo has seen fit to not only revisit Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse but also bring it to the West for the first time ever. So now that this horror title has arrived on current Western platforms, is this niche title worth checking out?"
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."
