Devil's Third Director Tomonobu Itagaki Believes That Wii U Title Fatal Frame V Will Make It To The West

Here's hoping.

Geez, don't tease us like this! I was ready to leave it behind, and now you go and say they'd do it? What am I supposed to think now?! I wanna hope!

Does it come with a free pair of clean underwear, or will we have to buy our own?

In Itagaki I trust. The Raven Haired Shrine Maiden would go great on my shelves along with Devil's Third. And let's face it, Nintendo need games coming out on the system. Fatal Frame will fit that nice niche along with titles like Devil's Third, Bayonetta 1 and 2, and hell, ZombiU.

I wish they wouldn't toy with my emotions like this.

I won't believe it until it is literally playing on my WiiU.

Maybe they can save some money and not bring Devil's Third to the west and do bring Fatal Frame IV & V to us. I'd like to play Devil's Third, but I'd gladly trade it in.

I've never played any of these, but this looks pretty entertaining.

I'm undecided, but one thing I won't complain about is a more diverse Wii U library...

After playing P.T. I dunno if I can handle anything remotely close to that. I'll buy this just to support more good games releasing on this side of the pond. Even if I don't have the b@!! $ to play it.

Let's hope so

Please. I think some of these girls are Smash U trophies? That would make sense, also to fill up the (right now) barren 2016 schedule.

I would definitely play this. I haven't played any of the previous Fatal Frame titles, but I love scary games.

I'm a fan of survival horror games, and I would get this in a heartbeat.

Yes, I would love to play it. That's a day1 buy for me

Good to see Itagaki hinting at this, I hope he has something cooking for E3. Devil's Third is looking like fun.

Please please please please please please please please come to Europe.

If they do release it in the west, I'd definitely buy it. Until then, I won't have my hopes too high.

hope either leads to satisfaction or disappointment !

I absolutely loved the Japanese trailer they showed of the game so I would definitely pick it up. Loved pretty much everything about it in fact. Looks so creepy!

As the saying goes: "The Hope is the last it leaves".

Don't think he would say this and "read between the lines" unless he knows something we don't.

I'd say this is as promising as Rhodea Sky Soldier. Both are looking to be likely candidates at this point.

Dont toy with me! We need this game. I need it!

Considering that the Wii U is without very many horror games this would be a most welcome addition should it indeed come stateside. Though I am normally not too big on horror games a Nintendo one I would most certainly be willing to try!

I'd be interested in the game if the main characters were not dressed ridiculously. It's awful.

I've never played this series but would be very interested. It's a shame we have to beg for games though...

This is literally the best thing to ever come out of Itagaki's mouth!

Yay i love fatal frame since ps2 era darkest game ever.

Well, I've never been a horror genre fan but after listening to AlphaOmegaSin rave about the series I'm interested.

Never been a horror fan of any sort, even with the whole excitement/adrenaline thing, I simply just cannot understand the appeal, that said, I do hope it will make it for those that are fans.

Fingers crossed! I really, really hope so!

I've only played Fatal Frame II on the original Xbox, and it was terrifying. Legitimately one of the most suspenseful games out there.

Yes please!

That would make me one happy camper. I modded my Wii just to play 4.

Nintendo is its publisher so we should try to ask Nintendo (again). I want this game so badly. I patched my Wii just to play 4, too.

Certainly wouldn't hurt the wii u's library in any way here in the states and would def fill a void in its library for sure! We'll see...

In Itagaki we trust cause for some reason i trust him then Nintendo themselves.

I really hope that it's true. Project Zero/Fatal Frame is one of my favorite horror game franchises and the latest game looked incredibly cool from the trailers. I don't care if they don't translate the voice acting, just release the game in the west and I'll be happy.

I won't allow myself to rejoice until I'm playing it on my PAL Wii U.

I think this game will come West. Partly because Nintendo needs games on the Wii U, and with virtually no triple A third party support, they are carrying the system themselves. So I see this as a logical move for Nintendo to port.

Also Nintendo seems to be releasing one "mature" game Q3 of each year - Bayonetta 1 & 2 last year, and Devil's Third this year. Perhaps this will be next year's. It makes sense.

great!? not sure how to feel about this, since it's more on the hope train and less an actual official statement.

No way it comes to the west.

Please come to the West!

@DiscoGentleman Interesting! So they've even given it an English name...

There is a certain amount of sense releasing it along with a movie. Why do one without the other?

We shall see eventually

I hope so.

I really hope that Itagaki is right. I was very disappointed when FF4 and FF2 never made it to NA as it's one of my favorite series.

Yeah, I'm not going to believe it until I see it actually being localized. Nintendo is terrible at porting games from Japan these days.

I'd love to try it out.

I never finished Fatal Frame 2 for PS2... Just got busy and distracted by other games... but I would like to get it for Wii U. I haven't played a decent survival horror game in years. Maybe I should just take my PS2 out of storage.

@sinalefa
I am hoping that is what they are waiting for.

@rosiel122
If you have a PS3 they are all on the PSN as classics. Unlike the original RE thanks to these games having so much creepy atmosphere the graphics hold up incredibly for their age well once you are immersed into the game.

i hope, i was waiting that game to be announced just to find out it's only in japan... hey, some offtopic,. i bought metroid prime trilogy on the eshop and it didn't get registered on club nintendo, you know why is happening this? i bought smg 2 too and that game was successfully registered... :/

Itagaki-san, please don't play with my emotions.

Fingers crossed.

how about itagaki finishes devils third before all the mature wii u gamers and call of duty wii u players switch over to a different console. dont blame the nintendo community if u wait 6 to 12+ months and the game bombs because there is no one to buy it. missed opportunity. either way i will probably buy and play it even if it isnt a financially successful game.

I'd definitely be interested in this. It's not like we're drowning in good horror games, which feature actual gameplay, and are not in fact action games (yeah RE I'm looking at you).

After they censor all the sexy outfits and buttcrack? No thanks.

Yes, I will pre-order it like I did with Project Zero 2 on Wii. You can always count on me when it comes to horror on Nintendo platforms. Then again, they don't seem to care and I'm forced to buy other consoles for horror purposes. Sorry.

I loved Project Zero 2 on Wii even with its stupid controls so I'll surely buy this one...

If you've got a game sitting there that just needs translating, I dont know why you wouldnt do it. Surely the cost of translation and release would be met by the sales of the game

Make it happen Nintendo, just make it happen and bring Fatal Frame IV along with it.

I'd love to play this game so please bring it over to Europe.

Hope they don't censor the costumes:

Don't get my hopes up.

i will get it

I really hope so, and I also hope the release the Wii games we never got either. Digitally or physically i dont care, I just still want those games

Am I missing something? We still never got Fatal Frame 4. I loved playing the first 3 on the PS2, and even bought and downloaded them on the PS3...these were classic horror games. I'd love to play 4 and 5 on the wii u, and it would give the system something that the others don't have to pick up it's sales...Wii U needs some horror titles on it. I'd also love if the previous 3 could be released as a disc collection or even download. I'd love for Eternal Darkness to be re-made with updated graphics, but we may never see either.

I just left the story about Ubisofts unreleased but finished Wii U game which clearly about only 2% of the people would actually even care about. Ubi can and should keep that game locked up forever .... Now THIS game is really being held hostage and absolutely needs to release in the West . I'd absolutely pick this up here's hoping it comes uncut and uncensored. I'd even settle for a subbed version

@JLPick ah the memories I had with Eternal Darkness I'm in the same boat as you with wanting another Eternal Darkness.

Ok folks lets get a petition going, get lots of signatures and then reggie can deny that petitions have any affect on what NIntendo do and then 2 years later it gets localised !!!

Let's make it happen.
