"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."
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that
Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base
In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release
Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
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.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
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.
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!!!!
