Tecmo Koei and Nintendo are working together on the next entry in the horror adventure series Fatal Frame for Wii U, the duo announced.

A title and release date for the project have not been announced.

In conjunction with the new game’s development, Tecmo Koei is expanding the franchise through a series of new multimedia expansions.

From Kadokawa, a live-action film starring Seventeen magazine models Ayami Nakajo and Aoi Morikawa is in production for a fall release, with Bilocation supervisor Mari Asato directing.

From Kadokawa Horror Bunko and Multiple Personality Detective Psycho and The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service author Eiji Otsuka, an original novel is due out in August.

From Kodansha and Kindaichi Case Files writer Shin Kibayashi (known by his penname Tadashi Agi), a comic is also planned.

[ILoveBish]

Looking forward to seeing it.

 

[AmethystEnd]

....Fuck. Now I have to buy a wii u.

 

[Riki]

I figured this would happen with the movie announcement. Hopefully this one makes it Stateside.

 

[Gannd]

Bring to USA NoA!

 

[olimpia84]

Hells yeah. Please bring this to NA.

 

[Penguin]

Sounds like the game should be out later this year to tie-in with everything but who knows.

 

[Infinite]

YAAAASSSSSSSSSSS

 

[jimmypython]

i'm in North America........that's about it....

 

[Busaiku]

NoA, there are no games for the system.
You cannot ignore this this time.

 

[.la1n]

All my money Nintendo just bring it stateside.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Localize it this time, NOA!

 

[Pop]

....Fuck. Now I have to buy a wii u.

.

 

[L Thammy]

That rumour of Nintendo buying the Fatal Frame IP turned out to be completely false, right? Weird relationship that the companies have with this IP.

 

[AniHawk]

this could work really well with the gamepad, more than any other title.

 

[Mithos]

HELL YEAH!!

Fatal Frame U... Been waiting and hoping, just make it sure you release it worldwide.

 

[Baust]

The gamepad was made for Fatal Frame. Can't wait to see how it's used.

 

[Riki]

this could work really well with the gamepad, more than any other title.

Oh god. The jump scares this game will cause will be unreal.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

....Fuck. Now I have to buy a wii u.

Bring to USA NoA!

Considering the US didn't get the Wii Fatal Frames, I would not count on it, unless Nintendo is really desperate.

 

[Jagsrock]

Good news. This could work really well with the gamepad.

 

[-Horizon-]

So, Tecmo...how about that Pokemon Conquest 2 with the knights of the round table?

 

[DNAbro]

Zombi U was a fantastic horror game thanks to Gamepad. Hopefully they can do even better with Fatal Frame. Bring to U.S please!

 

[the chris]

Might actually have to buy a Wii U...as long as it isn't as bad as I've heard Fatal Frame 4 is.

 

[ramoisdead]

NCL would be absolute nuts to not localize this game, given the state of Wii U is now.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Nice! Bring on the localisation, NoE. ｡◕‿◕｡

 

[Hero of Legend]

AND I JUST SAID TO MYSELF NINTENDO HAD NOT ANNOUNCED A NEW RETAIL WII U GAME IN FIVE MONTHS! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

I'm fucking shocked, what timing.

 

[kunonabi]

Considering the US didn't get the Wii Fatal Frames, I would not count on it, unless Nintendo is really desperate.

At this point they have to be.

 

[DedValve]

FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

PERFECT FIT FOR THE GAMEPAD RIGHT THERE. FUCK THE HYPE IS TOO STRONG. FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK.

 

[Scythian]

series of new multimedia expansions

This doesn't sound good, but if we're talking about Japanese authors, it may be good.
Hope it gets localized -.-

 

[SloaneRisette]

Finally something that will fit the gamepad.

Hopefully this leads to a Pokemon Snap U >.>

 

[SuperChoco]

Would say that I would buy it if it came state-side, but I'm a coward when it comes to horror games so I probably won't. I am glad to see that it is being made for the Wii U, since the system seems to be made for it.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Please bring to NA Ninty!

 

[Busaiku]

AND I JUST SAID TO MYSELF NINTENDO HAD NOT ANNOUNCED A NEW RETAIL WII U GAME IN FIVE MONTHS! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

I'm fucking shocked, what timing.

This could be digital.

 

[Brazil]

This series sells like 0 units every new release and they keep making them.

I love you, Nintendo and Tecmo Koei.

 

[Tenki]

The Gamepad is perfect for Fatal Frame. I hope this game arrives to the West too.

 

[Persona7]

That rumour of Nintendo buying the Fatal Frame IP turned out to be completely false, right? Weird relationship that the companies have with this IP.

I have been trying to track down where that rumor came from. It is a complete fabrication.

 

[Riki]

This doesn't sound good, but if we're talking about Japanese authors, it may be good.
Hope it gets localized -.-

They announced a live action movie for Japan based on the games.

 

[mantidor]

Awesome.

Too bad we will never see it in this side of the pacific.

 

[rtcn63]

Walking/movement in the Wii Fatal Frame was excruciatingly slow. Please don't do that again.

 

[Hero of Legend]

This could be digital.

Why the hell would this be a digital release? Nintendo put games like NES Remix and whatnot on eShop, not this. eShop to Nintendo is for small titles and experimental new IPs.

 

[HyperBitHero]

I've been saying this should happen for a long time. Finally. The Wii U is looking very appealing now. May take the plunge.

 

[Delio]

Camera being the gamepad would be awesome.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Sweet Jesus I cannot believe it's actually happening.

 

[Metallix87]

NoA, there are no games for the system.
You cannot ignore this this time.

I agree, I think it's impossible for Nintendo of America to avoid localizing this, given the state of affairs on the Wii U.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Any chance for a North American release?

 

[cafemomo]

TK is really getting cozy with Nintendo lately.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Wii U would be perfect for Fatal Frame.

Don't fuck this up.

 

[BennyBlanco]

suddenly wii u doesn't sound so bad

 

[daxgame]

that's great


except it's not going to come over here

 

[Zeyphersan]

Helloooooooooooooo potentially greatest horror game
