A series that deals with ancient, forbidden rituals in Japan should feel at home in the suicide capital of the world. Initially, this feels like the perfect environment for Fatal Frame. This time around, the ghost-infested location is Mount Hikami, which is a stand-in for Aokigahara (worth a read if you want to hate trees), the real-life Suicide Forest.

So it brings me absolutely no pleasure to say that Maiden of Black Water is like that horrible combination of liquid and garbage you find at the bottom of your trash bag.įatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water (Wii U )ĭeveloper: Koei Tecmo, Nintendo Software Planning & Development I actually threatened Chris’ life for a chance to review this. A more powerful system than the PlayStation 2 rendering these ghosts that frightened me when I was young? I’ll take two. Using the GamePad to manipulate the ghost-capturing Camera Obscura? Yes, please. Since Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse never came to the US, I never had a chance to try it out.Īs you can see, the prospect of a fifth game coming to the Wii U was enough to send me into nostalgic flashbacks. Malaise crept in when The Tormented rolled around due to re-used areas and assets, but it managed to have some fun with your character’s home a la Silent Hill 4: The Room. The sequel Crimson Butterfly, has long one been one of my favorite games to replay when the fall months come around. My friend Richard and I spent many a summer night with eyes wide from the horrors we had witnessed in the Himuro Mansion.

I'm so happy that I pre ordered the game on Steam, and I'm probably double dipping on a physical edition on PS or Xbox.įeel free to congratulate Nintendo on it's half assed support to Fatal Frame if you want, I won't.I was on the cusp of adolescence when I first played the original Fatal Frame. This partnership never did any good for either of then, the IP or the platform owner.

So yeah, as a big fan of the FF series you bet I'm popping champagne at the thought of the IP being free from Nintendo. Fans even launched a campaign to get a proper retail release. Not only the WiiU was already a dead platform by the time of it's release it was digital only on the US, and it needed an external drive to be playable if you did not own a WiiU Deluxe. Maiden of the Black Water was another big mess. I'm not even going to mention the 3DS thing. The second one, the remake of 2 was a great game and thankfully released WW, but it sold badly like many, many third party games on the Wii did, specially that far off into the console life when most people had already moved on.

What good is it to invest in the IP if you're not even going to make it available to most consumers? The first game of that partnership was not even released outside of Japan. There are successful cases to be made for associating your IP to a platform owner. FF was doing fine until it was locked to Nintendo, then it went from being a small niche IP to being practically irrelevant for years and years. Click to shrink.The only "sad" thing about era and most other game forums is people misplaced idolization of any corporation.
