Name of the new game is Fatal Frame V: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden

Actually I've heard that the japanese title (Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko) translates into Zero: The Wet Crow Shrine Maiden.

 

[moolamb]

That was a bit awkward. Asking about Nintendo games in a Tecmo Koei conference... Miyamoto somehow deflected it by saying Hyrule Warriors is also made by Tecmo Koei

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Noooo don't leave Miyamoto!

 

[Sgt.McTigerbuns]

What did they say?

 

[evanmisha]

All the translators left? I want to know if Miyamoto is saying anything interesting.

Nope.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Looka that pimpin suit

 

[moolamb]

WTF is that suit...

 

[LOLDSFAN]

This guy looks spiffy.

 

[LiK]

you guys need to do screencaps

 

[chrono01]

I heard America.

 

[Nemecyst]

Slick ass suit. The "is he 18" question killed me.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

don't just say america :|

 

[Zornica]

sounds like we're getting sacked

edit:yeah, there it is

 

[LOLDSFAN]

I guess that's it.

 

[chrono01]

Well that was an abrupt end.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Oh...well I guess we're done here

 

[HawthorneKitty]

88888 good stuff.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

We'll never know what that America part was.

 

[chrono01]

*in Japanese*

"So, with that, we have one more announcement to make. We know there are many fans of the Zero series worldwide, so we're happy to confirm tha-"

*stream ends*

RAGE!

Not really, but can you imagine?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

We'll never know what that America part was.

The movie.

 

[Wishmaster92]

We'll never know what that America part was.

lol
edit: guess it's the movie.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

The movie.

Ah I just saw it on Twitter.

I'm still surprised it's coming out so soon in September. It makes me worry about the localisation. Surely Nintendo won't be evil enough to not localise it... again. It would show a real lack of vision too, because while it is currently a niche series, the perfect fit it has with the Wii U hardware--which is sorely lacking in almost all Wii U games so far--could very well dramatically lift the sales of the game. It's such an intriguing idea, the gamepad as the Camera Obscura; it must have a lot of potential if marketed right.

I forget how this works. 1 is good and 5 is bad, right?

Yes.

Apparently, according to Fatal Frame translator, Chelsea (who helped in the Fatal Frame IV translation and various Fatal Frame guide translations) the literally translated title for the new Fatal Frame game is 'The Wet Crow Shrine Maiden'.

They did localize Spirit Camera so that might be the ray of hope.

The term Nuregarasu can sorta have two meanings in this case.

It's used to describe the color of a woman's hair, but in this case it's meant to evoke the image of horror, which is where I think she got the Wet Crow bit from since the kanji for it literally is "Wet Crow."

Sort of a hard thing to translate because you can only really pick one piece of imagery of the other. In this case, I think wet crow or some spin on it is the best way to go. Though honestly, I think people should just roll with some variant of the JP title so things don't get confusing if it does get officially picked up.

 

[LiK]

wet crow maiden is pretty hilarious

 

[Fady K]

Reading this on mobile with short lines of text makes you look really desperate...

...and I am too.

How is that possible? How did the horror genre died on consoles - the one place these games should really be a success?

I was even excited about "the letter", an e shop horror game, until I learned it's a three minutes game. ...

I'm guessing they did not attract too many gamers unfortunately; with the exception of Resident Evil games back in the day, I rarely heard of console horror games selling very well. I don't even think the Silent Hill series ever came close to selling half as much as the Resident Evil games. It is a big shame too, as a lot of these games are just brilliant! Thankfully horror games are popping up a lot more now.

It was the ONLY horror game last gen that actually made me scared and seriously fear the next chapter. Fatal Frame, earlier Resi's and Silent Hills all had that as well. I think theres a pretty good chance we get a new Siren after Gravity Rush 2 of course.

You know what? I think it was the only horror game that scared me last gen too. I also think it looked amazing visually and sounded amazing back when it came out too. A new Siren on PS4 would kill me with joy <3

This. Though some people didn't like it because they simplified it a bit too much, I liked Siren New Translation/Blood Curse and I think it's one of the best horror games of the PS3/360 gen.

I really, really want Siren 3 or Siren 2 remake

Agreed on all points! Game blew me away and the plot is underrated too. I would love the Siren series to continue, so badly. I wonder how the PS3 version sold overall (download + retail).

 

[pitt_norton]

trailer is up on the japanese wii u eshop.... it looks amazing

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Also, let Koei Tecmo America know about the international fanbase for this series by favoriting, retweeting, and responding to this tweet!!

Did my part. Favorited and responded!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

that woman was the president of koei tecmo. apparently a very powerful and intimidating lady from the stories i've heard. i am not joking.

someone in the chat wrote 'ms. hiroshi yamauchi?' seems a little accurate.

Is she the reason behind Nintendo's close relationship with TK?

if so I like her very much

 

[Smiles and Cries]

oops I hit 5

Not much, I'm guessing. I did my part though.

Also, Fatal Frame collection. Because, why not.

Good collection there Black Soma Thanks for sharing the pics. There's also a Siren manga coming out I believe :]

she may be for some kinds of the deals that have been worked through. combining pokemon with nobunaga's ambition really benefited kt more than nintendo, so nintendo probably got something else out of that partnership, or that game was requested in exchange for other collaborations.

thanks, seems like TK always gets the most out of these, Nintendo has not gotten a huge seller out of TK, quantity over quality so far

I really hope we get this game in NA. I've only played the first fatal frame game, but it was pretty awesome!

This part made me poo :'(

Download Fatal Frame 2 off PSN if you can. It's amazing.

 

[UrbanRats]

I may be in the minority here but Siren on the PS3 was one of *the* best horror games IMO. Need a new one in the series very badly.

Definitely my favorite horror game from last gen.
Like, i don't even need to think about it.

Unfortunately I haven't owned a playstation until recently when I bought the PS4. Is it on PSP?

 

[flatearthpandas]

Fully plan to buy this. Don't really expect a sale on the PS2 classic titles because of it, but a few questions.

Are they all worth it at $10 a piece?
Do they usually have sales around Halloween?

Alternatively you could also import a copy of Project Zero 2: Wii Edition from Europe if you got a Wii.
