heh, ok the luigi custome is cool and fits with luigi's mansion theme, and I wouldn't mind suitless Samus if this was isolated

Fanservice isn't about "fitting in with a theme," it's about adding a bonus to fans...What would you rather have? A Pikachu suit? BUT THAT WOULD BE DEGRADING TO PIKACHUS EVERYWHERE!

Neogaf found out that the game is buggy.

There's a report out now that that Fatal Frame 4 has several bugs. When a certain condition is triggered, the game can lock up. There are also Ghost entries in the database that remain blank, and an extra option unlocked after the game is cleared that is unselectable. Tecmo wtf!!!! Did someone forget to pay them their super incentives too?

Edit: If anyone has the game here's what you need to do to avoid the game locking up.

During "三ノ蝕忘日" (it's a day/chapter in the game I believe) after you have obtained the 暗号のようなメモ (coded memo), if you open the door to the doctor's room on the 2nd floor of the hospital the game will lock up. To avoid this, after getting the memo go to the director's office in the first floor and enter the 3 digit code into the interphone first.

Edit2: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4179550

This video shows that there are a bunch of collision detection and/or invisible objects in the game. Looks pretty annoying and it's amazing how this got through testing.

This video shows the game freeze issue.

I'm suprised Nintendo allowed this.

I really wonder sometimes if they FORGOT how Cube was 3rd place and if it wasn't for the hardcore fans Nintendo would be dead right now. They seem to run toward casuals so quick they forget what a quality game should be. The Nintendo seal of quality used to mean something.

2009 stateside release, definitely.

Yeah because casual games=poor quality.

Considering Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl are all the most polished games of their series (and not to confuse anyone, by Prime 3 I mean the Prime series and Twilight Princess I mean 3D Zelda), you just attempted a very poor and inaccurate troll...Please hang up and try again!

Again, I agree with vega.

Though Nintendo didn't make this, they did put there stamp of approval on it. How did it get by without testing of the game for game-ending bugs, and how did it get by without testing the controls out (though that issue is still on the table till I play it).

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #109 on:** August 05, 2008, 01:53:57 PM »

I don't recall the Fatal Frame controls being that bad in previous games.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #110 on:** August 05, 2008, 01:57:29 PM »

The controls may not be too bad, I wanna hear more impressions, but the bugs are what, well, bug me.

Didn't Endless Ocean have some bugs as well when it was released in Japan? Maybe Europe and America will benefit in the long term with Japan getting it first.

Itagaki sabotage.

To be fair Ninja Gaiden 2 had a lot of horrid glitches, better yet the patch made the single player glitches even worse.

Yeah, I'm hoping that this doesn't become a trend where somehow these Nintendo games that the big N commissions from third parties come out buggy in Japan or something.

Due to control issues, many reviewers have now dubbed the game "Fatal Flaw".

Yuji Naka must be behind all this.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #117 on:** August 06, 2008, 04:10:10 PM »

Well Suda51 was involved with the game so it being a buggy mess is not surprising.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #118 on:** August 06, 2008, 06:17:30 PM »

These are game-breaking bugs. Definitely a technique Tecmo learned with DOA4.

Just so you know, the seal of quality was also on many god awful NES, GB, SNES, GBC, N64 and GBA games, and that happened during the prime of Nintendo's hardcore era!

GASP!

Hopefully they've fixed all the game breaking glitches AND announce a NA release too.

2009 must be the HARDCORE YEAR, is it not?

Namco was nice enough to make improvements/additions to the North American Tales of Awesome: Dawn of Fist, will Tecmo/Grass-smoker be as nice?
