Nintendo Treehouse had to protect the children who might play this M rated horror game, so they censored optional lingerie costumes, and replaced them with a Zero Suit Samus, and a Zelda costume. Incredibly ridiculous and stupid, only thing stupider was the Nintendo fanboys at the time spinning this as a good thing.

Wii U version still might be best version, due to the gamepad. Looking down and seeing something right up on you through the gamepad/camera was amazing. I'll still double dip on switch if only to grab a physical copy.

Oh, thought there was game breaking bug or something.
As lame as removing those costumes was, the ZSS costume in some ways is more revealing.

because of the bad sales Nintendo said: "Do it"

I'm fully expecting the PC version to have the original costumes + the swimsuits + the Nintendo costumes + more due to mods.Oh, thought there was game breaking bug or something.

Jesus, I was sold as a Switch release. But now knowing I can pick it up on my PS5…. This is even BETTER news!

The real issue is that a cutscene important to one of the character's pasts was mangled from the costume removal and other alterations.Oh, thought there was game breaking bug or something.

Tbh its Kinda surreal to see Nintendo’s trademark logo on a non-Nintendo platform (i don’t know about multiplat W101, but Nintendo’s trademark was nowhere to be seen, neither in trailers nor in credits)

No physical release means a pass from me.
Maybe Asia will have a physical copy.

I hope Tecmo has learned his lesson and never gives the rights to Nintendo again.
Better than Sony give the rights to Gravity Rush as Nintendo's new IP

As long as the content remained consistent in all regions, I was conceptually more open to this remaster, but realizing it's digital-only (at lest in the West), this will likely be a pass, outside maybe some eventual steep-sale discount.

Maybe there wouldn't be one for other platforms' ports.

That's crazy, I think it some ways it makes sense, the series started on PlayStation, and much of Nintendos fanbase doesn't seem to care in the slightest for Fatal Frame. I feel it's completely Nintendos fault though.
They ruined a lot of fan interest with censorship/changes to FF5 and being digital only. They never even bothered localizing FF4, and hardly acknowledge the series at all. They haven't nurtured the series in the slightest. It's a niche series, and Nintendo just doesn't really care about it, with how it doesn't fit in the rest of their first and second party games. It'd be better off if Koei Tecmo just gets full rights to Fatal Frame again, and doesn't have to worry about Nintendo's lack of interest killing the series.

Probably a combination of Nintendo fans seeing it live during the direct, and people excited the franchise is finally back on Playstation.I find this interesting coz more people viewed the PS trailer than the Nintendo trailer.

I think you're right.
Maybe Nintendo gave this chance for people to show them why this franchise is very popular. Ninty didn´t try to localize all the Fatal Frame games to the western and they are really good! Specially the 4, for the Wii

To my understanding, the do not own the majoirty of that IP, something about a partial share or something, so they might have no saw in something like this. So I don't know all the details regarding that deal, but I do know for sure they don't 100% own the IP.
From what I recall, that is not the case. The co-own it, they do not own it outright or anything like that.

Maybe, maybe not.
Consider the majority of people who like this genre own Playstations.
Resident Evils, Silent Hill, Evil Within, any of the big AAA horror titles exist on that platform, so its very likely they have a healty install base of people who like that genre ready to roll and get hype for the next horror title after they are done feasting on Resident Evil 8.
So I'm not too shocked that Playstation would have more views or likely will get the majority sales. Its the place where many, many horror titles exist on.
(Damn also forgot about The Last Of Us series, yea PS like horror shit lol)

5 is great. I dunno what you're talking about.
The biggest issue is that it released on the Wii U. I had high hopes for it during thr direct cause it will finally get some recognition on the Switch but it releasing on all platforms is even better.

I just found the whole thing totally repetitive and samey, especially the environments and combat.

My problem with the series ever since the jump to Nintendo are that they abandoned the static cameras and made all protagonists top-models/idols. This is a Horror game. Sexualizing's these characters cheapens the experience and make the game look like a cheap teen direct-to-dvd movie.
Needless to say, I'm going to buy this one!

As far as i can remember it had to do with china (late 2000’s) so I dunno if there was one with west as well…

When I watched Nintendo direct, it was the only switch game for me this year.
but since it’s on Xbox /PS too, I’ll take it on Xbox.
so glad it’s happening.
Did anyone play the original on wii U?
Is it good?

I thoroughly enjoyed it but a good bit of the fun was using the wii u pad as the camera to fight ghosts. I'm sure it'll translate over but you're not gonna have that interactivity.

Mask of the Lunar Ecplipse.
Really cool game, managed to get a copy during the time it was affordable. The fan translation is great, I think they also fixed some of the more glaring bugs too.

It's a good game, Nothing mind blowing, feels like you're playing a PS2 title with budget HD graphics.
Great sound design though and atmospheric. Not super scary but definitely tense at points. My only gripe is the ridiculous outfits the women wear in it. It's stuff that people actually wear but it just comes off as dumb when you have a short skirt, transparent blouse, heels wearing character running through the woods fighting ghosts, lol.

It's OK but horror is much more exciting to me.What about Elden Ring? Too difficult, too hard?
Release it on PSVR you cowards!

I have always find the protagonists of the series to be top-model/idol like, just weren't as clear because ps2 graphics lol.

This was actually a pretty good game. No intention of re-buying it though.
Aren't those different trailers though, or am I missing something? One is 0:59 and the other is 1:54. If I was looking for a trailer I'd probably watch the longer one too.I find this interesting coz more people viewed the PS trailer than the Nintendo trailer.

Maybe it's a similar arrangement like Sony did with many of its former exclusives developed by Quantic Dream & Annapurna Interactive, so they could get PC ports.
Koei Tecmo is a valued partner for Nintendo, blocking them from making some extra money would be a dick move, even for Nintendo.
Hell, maybe they're testing the water like Sony did. If we suddenly get Bayonetta 2 ports, we know.

If I recall correctly the Fatal Frame IP belongs to Koei Tecmo, but Nintendo co-owns the copyright because they developed this game. I think the same can be said with every co-developed game with Nintendo, they'll always own a share of it's copyright.

So far, all we have is the one English-language trailer saying the title will be available digitally. The Japanese trailers, website, and press coverage make no mention of how the game will be offered.
The one bit of speculation I'll add is Play Asia was out there pretty quickly retweeting news about the game. They could be hinting at another situation like Ninja Gaiden Masters Collection, where Japan & Asia saw physical copies that include English support.
