"No one can say that it hasn’t been an extremely odd year for the Nintendo Wii. Xenoblade is finally coming stateside and XSEED stepped up to the plate to deliver The Last Story onto us. Now, Nintendo of Europe announces that the previously Japan only Fatal Frame II: The Crimson Butterfly remake will indeed get a Euro release.
While exciting at first, it’s hard to forget the cold shoulder Nintendo of America gave us when it came to bringing the fourth entry in the series stateside. This leads me to believe we won’t be joining the Amakura sisters on their second tour of All Gods Village. With that said, I’m not as crushed this time around.
I had to give it some thought because something about this “remake” is off-putting and I’m not talking about the resident ghouls."
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
You want us to be interested? bring out FF4, then we can talk.
Its a shame that it won't come out in america. I am not surprised one bit judging by what type of games make it and which don't in the west. Our great developers are finding less reason to bring their hard work to the west. Hopefully all of this will change through the life cycle of the Nintendo Wii U.
Hopefully all real elite gamers worldwide join together to help Nintendo remain at the top of the gaming spectrum. Games Like Fatal Frame will have a higher chance to be released in all territories if the install base is a respectable size like the original Nintendo Wii.
Lucky for us all Nothing is impossible when dealing with the Nintendo. As they have proven time and time again that anything is possible through hard work. Nintendo developers have been working hard for decades to bring us all the greatest gaming experiences that money can buy.
Your love and support is appreciated. Long live Nintendo.
Rated E For Everyone
If we are getting a fatal frame 3ds to America. what make you think we as not getting fatal frame 2 remake? If I remember correctly both Tecmo and Nintendo had an issue with ff4. Ff4 have lots of bugs and glitches. I played it on my wii with the translation patch. Nintendo wanted Tecmo to fixed the glitches and bugs but Tecmo did not want to do it for free. We just have to wait and see. Also Europe did not get ff4 either
"Maybe what I’m trying to say here is that I was way more excited for a new entry in the Fatal Frames series of stories, rather than a “remake” with subtle changes at best"
I agree tbh. I'll definitely buy the FF2 remake if it comes out over here, but I'm faaaar more interested in a Fatal Frame 5 if one ever gets made. I just hope future FF games actually make it outside Japan this time!
Just gotta' wait for another fan translation, like with Fatal Frame IV~ Since II already came out here though, shouldn't be too difficult to translate with the original game as a reference.
That said, while I agree Fatal Frame on Wii U would be completely full of win, his statements about the Wii being "last gen" is a little false, but while Wii is almost laughably behind hardwarewise compared to Xbox 360/PS3, it is at least 6 times more powerful than a PS2. So the graphical bump is more than noticeable... That said though..... Why the heck isn't this on the Wii U! The controller would be amaaaaaaazing for the Fatal Frame Franchise. Hopefully Wii U gets a remastered 1, 3, or better yet... a new entry in the franchise!!!!
