According to Nintendo's customer service, there are currently 'no announced plans' to release Fatal Frame 5 in the West.
The PlayStation 4 has some of the best horror games to offer. Be informed that we hold no responsibility if you can't sleep at night.
Koei Tecmo confirmed that the success of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water contributed to the new remaster of Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.
I mean that was sort of obvious.
There was literally nothing on this franchise, then they ported Maiden of Black Water likely because it was the easier one to translate to modern devices being a Wii U title and all. And now we are getting a remaster of the 4th title. So it stands to reason that Maiden of Black Water was successful enough to start the whole process.
A remaster of the Fatal Frame 2 remake that was on Wii would be very welcome as well. That game is great. Scared the crap out of me the first time I played it as well lol.
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has a new digital game sale going on right now, offering up to 80% off on various Japan-inspired games for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One gamers!"
This is really bad...
This doesn't mean "no," it's a refusal to give definite information, which is to be expected (I'd be shocked if Nintendo just revealed localization news to someone who contacted customer service). It also seems to be Nintendo's default response to localization questions. I've gotten that response more than once.
Come on, quit keeping good games Japan exclusive, it's dumb. Even if they only make a tiny profit then it's worth it to please their fanbase. That's the only way to do good business.
Damn....
Thanks customer service, of there were announced plans for a localization then I'm pretty sure we'd know about that by now.
Also, why even make an article about this? We KNOW there are no announced plans...
