Video Games: New Fatal Frame game coming to Wii U+Live action film

Nintendo and Tecmo Koei have just announced that they’re working together to bring a new Fatal Frame game to the Wii U. The last entry in the series was “Mask of the Lunar Eclipse” for the Wii in 2008, but it was never brought to North America. No word if this new title will see global release, but it would be wise given the Wii U’s relatively scarce games line-up and the fact that the idea is just fantastic.

Tecmo Koei is actually bringing Fatal Frame back in a big way, outside of this new game. There’s a live-action film in the works in Japan to be released this fall, while a novel and comic are being planned as well. It’s interesting to see a multi-media push like this for the series after it’s remained dormant for so long, and I’m very curious to see how it all turns out.

Nintendo ruined the series by buying the rights.

Well Nintendo is pretty desperate to expand their Wii U library so it's a possibility.

It's not Tecmo's fault, Nintendo bought the rights to the series so now it's stuck on Nintendo consoles.
Tecmo tried to get IV released to the west and Nintendo would not budge.

Nintendo also bought Monolith Soft who made the Xeno series and sadly both franchises would do better on PS4/XBONE. Nintendo is just too selfish to release them on other platforms so both companies can see success and their series can live on.

I hope Sony comes in and buys them out of Nintendo's hands.

Nintendo's selfish for acquiring exclusives like all other platforms?

OH MY GOD.

Xenosaga is one of my favourite franchises ever, here I was hoping they would be brought back somehow but now I'm finding out they're trapped in NINTENDO'S hellish vault?

WHY GOD, WHY?.

First off, they were both on other systems first well before Nintendo bought the rights to Monolith and Tecmo's titles. Fatal Frame and Xenosaga had a fanbase on playstation and when they bought the rights to them it was game over for both games.

Fatal Frame 2 was remade but not released in all english speaking territories and was on the Wii at that. By the time Fatal Frame 2 and IV came out for the Wii it was at the end of its lifespan.

They don't even try to cater to the fans when it comes to other titles besides Mario and Legend of Zelda. Xenoblade took a petition and huge fan outcry to get it released to the west but the catch was it was only sold at gamestops and for 60 bucks.

Nintendo wants to get a bigger audience but they don't even try, I would have no problem if they held on to them for their consoles if they actually let them see success but they don't.

Xeno and Fatal Frame were already cult classics to begin with and them not releasing it WW means the series will fade. Which is already happening.
