The movie-based "JU-ON: The Grudge" videogame is scheduled for release in October 2009 in North America by Xseed Games. As well as previously announced in Q4 2009 in PAL territories by Rising Star Games. It'll be a "haunted house simulator" adventure meant to scare you all the way through.
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 will be buying this
"JU-ON: The Grudge features a new unique gameplay mechanic that measures your movements during play - the more you flinch and jump, the worse your success rate becomes. The player can progress through the game with bad scores, but it is those with a steady hand and nerves of steel that will have the most to gain from this experience. For example: while one player explores the game’s dingy environments using the Wii Remote as a flashlight, a friend can grab a second controller to trigger in-game scares."
That sounds so freaking cool
Are you serious? This game has to be a joke.
While the game is seemingly a joke (even to me) the control scheme for this is next-gen, in my eyes.
The more you flinch and what not, the more your success in the game is threatened?
Sounds awesome to me. I would like to see more Wii titles use similar control scheme innovation.
lol released just in time for halloween :o
That movie was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The meowing kid was priceless. Terrible as a horror movie tho.
