Fatal Frame 3DS spin-off coming in NA; called Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir;

It's sad that i think this is NOA's way of proving that they shouldn't release core games in the US and won't attempt to market it :(

They probably just made a deal with Tecmo to release a certain number of their games in exchange for them working on Pokemon x Nobunaga or Other M or whatever, in the same way they did with Enix in exchange for DQ9/10 exclusivity. I mean, they didn't really think Fortune Street was gonna sell, but they were obliged to release it, so out it came.

That's not to say that this particular game doesn't look interesting, though. Where's my PAL announcement, NOE?

Probably the people that buy Resident Evil. Yes, I know, RE isn't exactly horror, but that is likely their thought.

Perhaps it's also targeting younger/casuals that like Layton/Wright/Lautrec/Another Code who may think it's a more macabre adventure novel type thing in the light of those, hence 'the cursed memoir'. Also, Fatal Frame is a bit too semantically jaunty? Intimidating?

It's some janky AR game? Aw, Fatal Frame is normally great and legitimately scary. Or at least was, haven't played one since 2.
 
Wait where did they confirm it for Europe? I am seriously waiting for this game. Hope it's releasing in Europe as well.

There is no way Europe wouldn't get it too. I think all regions will probably get it, but they might wait a few months so they can release it during Halloween there, that's my guess anyway.

The European title will probably be something like Cursed Memoir: A Scary Camera Adventure with a release in April.
 
This absolutely a Day One purchase for me! (It is released 3 days after my birthday....) Now, I hope this sells very well, so Tecmo can see how well an HD Remake of Fatal Frame 1, 2, and 3 would do in NA.

There's a remake of FF2 coming to Wii in Japan, it may even be out already. (non-HD of course)

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!

I think...FF2R is going to be a 3DS / Wii U release, at this point. It's a lot of time we aren't hearing anything about it, and releasing such a niche game on Wii right now basically means killing its potential sales.

Fantastic news. I'll pick it up day one. I just hope it turns out better than FF3. AR has a chance of being really different and fresh which is what FF3 was lacking.
 
Kinda reminds me of the 3DS' Pac Pix.
An early life game offering unique functionality which will be largely overlooked and forgotten :(

I'll be getting this, surprised they've released it.
Hopefully Nintendo will subtitle the short film that advertised this game too:

J-Horror, Nintendo style!

Sometimes life doesn't make sense. In such a case, you just gotta go with the flow.
I'm not going to hide my contempt for Reginald, him and his senile raised hands with 'I dunno' charade.

Maybe he doesn't really know because he isn't important.

Werent there pretty good impressions of the game via the japanese release? Either way, I wish they went with a better title.
