Topic: Nintendo to Publish Fatal Frame IV in Europe

[TJ Spyke]

I'd like to hear Nintendo's PR runaround for this not being released here yet.

Perhaps it'll be released later? Not every game gets released in the US first (though 95% do).

I think he is surprised that the game hasn't even been announced for North America yet. I am too to be honest. I also want Disaster: Day of Crisis and Tingle's Rose Colored Rupee Land (or whatever the hell its called), neither look like they will come out here.

EasyDenise from NOA said that NCL decides what games to localize.

EasyDenise is EasyCure's hot drag queen alter ego?

It's another Japanese game that's too good for the rest of the world.

Or it's a game by Japanese devs who admit Japanese development isn't better than the West anymore, so NCL grants their wish by not showing it to real audiences.

The west isn't better either. SO. MUCH. GREY. And Brown.

Apparently, IGN has confirmed through Tecmo that Fatal Frame IV will NOT be coming to North America, as Nintendo owns the publishing rights and has decided not to bring it over here.

Frack you, Nintendo.  It's stuff like this that has me really tempted to get rid of my Wii for good...

And Nintendo wonders why 3rd Party Publishers are so reluctant to put anything decent on the Wii, when they're withholding 3rd party games they publish from North America for no apparent reason.

First Project H.A.M.M.E.R
Then, Disaster: Day of Crisis
Now, Fatal Frame 4.

Who is killing these games?

In all fairness, Fatal Frame 4 is the only game on that list generally considered good (or at least playable.  H.A.M.M.E.R. never really got off the ground if I remember correctly).

Having played Disaster: Day of Crisis I can tell you that it's actually not that bad. Not that great either since it does get pretty repetitive, but far from unplayable.

Also, I don't buy this.

I have a tough time buying the "repetitive" argument cuz video games.

Yes.

[Flames_of_chaos]

You guys should read this

[NWR_pap64]

I still think the game will come to the US, one way or another. And all the crap fest will be swallowed shut.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I now officially consider Marvelous, XSEED, and Sega as "major third party support."

Capcom, Square, Konami, and Namco have been de-listed for 'tarding-out.
