Spooky Times in Europe! Project Zero 2 for Wii arrives on June 29th
- Thread starter Shiggy
- Start date
Localisation seems to take a while as they translate the lyrics into various languages once again and in spite of Rhythm Paradise's commercial failure. That failure also was the reason for the rebranding.
I really wonder why Zero: A Japanese Ghost Story isn't released. I would've expected that part of the Project Zero 2 contract would be some bug-fixing for Zero: A Japanese Ghost Story. Especially since the game's been basically finished and translated already.

Day after it hits Japan? WOW. Means I don't have to spend too much importing 
NoE are doing such a good job these days it's frightening.

I tried to play through the Xbox version of this recently and lasted about 30 minutes. My courage should've come back by June 29th.

Will import, unless an NA version is announced. I hope it fixes all the problems Project Zero 4 had.

Played the first one for the PS2, but that was it, so sold. Wii remote/flashlight controls a la Shattered Memories better be in there.

I really doubt that's what you thought.
It's a bit sad that they really do not seem to care about Project Zero 2. Announcing its date as a sidenote in the press release for a 3DS game.
Absolutely. Who cares about the anime crap called Xenoblade and Pandoras Tower. And who ever cared about these crappy SNES games that NoE just got over 15 years later, like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. This game here is the only thing any sane person should care about. NoA really sucks for giving not that announcement at the same time as NoE.

Epic hope is epic: FF collection (2 + 4) for Pal release.
It will be called: Neogaf Edition (Believe)

You just brought up 2 third party RPG's that Nintendo had no control of back when they were released.....right?
Compared to the 3 Nintendo owned RPG's that NOE just translated and released themselves?
...plus 15 years for FF6? That's some bad math right there.
Why would Nintendo of America announce this game right now with E3 six weeks away? I'd be shocked if they don't bring it over in late summer/early fall right before Wii U.

I'm a huge horror fan(movies, books, games) and I have yet to play any games from this series. I think I'll get this and 4.
Over 15 years. If you want to be more precise, it's 17 years. Learn to read. And Xenoblade is still published by Nintendo. It's right that XSeed published The Last Story in America.
And you're missing my point anyway. It's not really reasonable to act like this when you just don't get a few games, especially after NoE treated the fans much worse in the SNES / PS1 eras.

I'll wait for the US release so I can support it. If it doesn't come here eventually I'll import it.

Dude, you need to check facts before swinging stuff like that around. 17 years for FF6? lol.
Released on March 18 on 2011 on the Virtual Console. I'm talking about the SNES version here, not the PS1 version. As you may guess, PS1 belongs to Sony, not Nintendo.

Well, I guess the point stands that Europeans didn't receive the game until the PlayStation arrived, eight years after the original Japanese release. That sucks, sure, but I'm not sure where the 17 years comes from.
EDIT: Oh, I see. Well, that's still not entirely accurate, because the Europeans received the GBA version in June 2007. Still 13 years later, but yeah, NoE didn't seem to have its act together much back then.
Perhaps we shouldn't blame this entirely on Nintendo, though, and more on the lacking interest in horror games in America right now. Which saddens me to no end.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Fuckin'... why did it take this long for the Wii to be awesome?

but that's on Square-Enix, not Nintendo. Your point makes no sense in comparing it to NOE's recent fine form.
You just come off as Snarky.

Will get them both day 1 for sure!
I hope we get a limited edition for Project Zero 2 similar to the Last Story and Pandora's Tower ones.
That way would progress the swan song collection!
Xenoblade would also be included but I got the regular edition of that one, I wasn't interested in an additional red Frankenpad...

Finally my last Wii game (for now). So glad about the immediate release date, NoE on a goddamn roll.

Hmmm this better not look worse than the original.
You can't just put "Franken" in front of every word. It makes sense with the 3DS's circle pad attachment, but how does the classic controller qualify as a Frankenpad?shinkansen.3000 said:
I havent seen the new screens yet, but it'll probably look around the same as 4, which was technically a decent step up compared to the PS2 games.
People keep claiming the Wii is dead, but there has been a significant, decent software release just around the corner pretty much constantly recently.
Hopefully NoE can continue the good support when the Wii U comes out...
... oh, and announce that theyre releasing Excite Bots. That would be dandy.

My feelings exactly.
I'm hoping we (American gamers) get some good news at e3, though!
Of course Wii U (or whatever it ends up being named) is coming this fall, but there's still quite a gap to fill and the only announced (US) Wii games for the rest of the year are:
-The Last Story (which isn't even being published by Nintendo)
-New Play Control: Pikmin 2
-The Kirby 20th Anniversary Game
Hopefully we'll get these too:
-Fatal Frame 2
-NPC: Chibi Robo
-Pandora's Tower

The PS2 version's one of my favourite games ever, but I'm gonna have to wait for reviews for this one, just to be sure that the camera controls aren't as counterintuitive as they were in 4 (i.e. you turned the camera left/right by twisting the Wiimote rather than just pointing it).

This is what Nintendo needed after Mario Kart, at least one big new game to look forward to at a time.
From launch until mid-2008 the system was rocking it, and it picked back up from NSMB Wii's release until the end of 2010.

If there's no announcement for a NA release at E3, I'll just import. No biggie.
