Fatal Frame 4 not headed to Europe

no tag view

It seems that after a year long desperate struggle the fate of Tecmo and Grasshopper Manufacture developed Fatal Frame 4 has been decided. The 4th entry into the Project Zero series will remain exclusive to Japan.

While it is very reasonable to be upset about this, allegedly Nintendo decided not to publish the game because Tecmo would not fix the bugs that plague the japanese version to this day. Given the fact that Nintendo owns the publishing rights, 3rd parties will most likely not be able to publish the game.

Thankfully, a fan translation is on it’s way, so people desperate to play the game (hi!), will be able to do so within months. You can see their current progress over at The Camera’s Lens Forums. You will probably want to hack your Wii and import the japanese release of Fatal Frame 4 to make this work.

While this is a bum out indeed, Xseed is still set to publish the Ju-On (The Grudge) game in the US, and Rising Star Games handling publishing duties in Europe — if you are looking for a horror fix.
