Tecmo unveils Fatal Frame on Wii News

Wii News by Robert Purchese

30 January, 2008

Tecmo has whipped the wrappers off Fatal Frame for Wii at a press conference in Japan.

Its official title is Rei: Tsukihami no Kamen, which roughly means Fatal Frame: The Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.

According to translations from IGN, attendees were shown a two minute CG trailer. Tecmo kept the specifics to itself, mentioning only buzz words "memories", "moon" and "mask".

Stills from the footage show a lovely girl wandering around dark locations with a torch.

Nintendo will be on hand to help with the release, handling sales and promotional duties, as well as lending development aid to veteran studio Grasshopper.

Big names this time around are Keisuke Kikuchi, Makoto Shibata and sits-on-a-toilet Goichi Suda - who has just finished work on the impressive No More Heroes (review published today).

Nintendo says Rei: Tsukihami no Kamen should be out in Japan this summer.

Fatal Frame, known as Project Zero round these parts, is a suspense-focused horror title that scares the snot out of us. It has previously appeared on both Xbox and PS2 but never on a Nintendo console - making its Wii exclusivity seem a bit bizarre.

Was Project Zero 3 any good? Because the early death of the original Xbox and the lack of PS2 on my part, left me without it...

ohhh nice.

I still haven't finished number 3 as it was getting quite difficult and confusin toward the end.

But I do love a good survival horror type game and the Wii could use something else after Resi 4

The third game wasn't quite as good as the other two - a bit too much backtracking, some wonky puzzles, etc. but it wasn't a bad game by any means. Hopefully the new version will go back to the style of the second game, which was my second favourite survival horror of the generation.

It's just a shame that neither Project Zero nor Project Zero 2 work on the 360s backwards compatibility =o( Strange, considering both Fatal Frame and Fatal Frame 2 do...

@JonFE

For me, PZ3 was the best of the bunch, with the most interesting setting of all. Of course YMMV, but it's one of the better games I played. Ever.

I played the first, that was enough to NEVER want to play another one.

Might work with the Wii since their FPS system was not very friendly for a typical controller.
