Finally, North America is getting a new Fatal Frame game, and it's coming to the Wii U!
NewsUPDATE: During today's Nintendo Direct, the company revealed that Fatal Frame for Wii U (or Fatal Frame: Oracle of the Sodden Raven) will finally come to North America later this year! This will be the first game in the series to release in this region since the 2012 handheld spinoff, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir.
More as we learn it!
Original Story: Zero: Nuregarasu no Miku aka Fatal Frame: The Black-Haired Shrine Maiden arrives in Japan on September 27 for the Wii U.
No release date has been set for North America, which might not get the game at all. We might not get to play it at all. 2008's Fatal Frame 4, the latest installment in the series, never arrived in North America.
For those unfamiliar with the series, Fatal Frame is all about the J-horror: spooky ghosts, haunted water, and a camera as the protagonist's only defense. This series has provided ultimate scares since 2001. It's a shame America has been missing out on the fun lately.
Here's the trailer for the newest installment:
Worst place to wake up in a J-horror game: a body of water. She already done f***** up. That creepy robed spirit looks crazy scary.
The main character is Yuri Kozukata, the black-haired shrine maiden, who can see ghosts from the spirit plane and bring them back to the world of the living. She is asked to find a ghost in Hikamiyama, a mountainous location with plenty of water. In her journey, she runs into some particularly spooky ghosts, which probably want to eat her. Good thing she has her trusty camera to keep the spirits away. You know how much evil entities hate flash.
Keep your fingers crossed, America!
